1. Fixed `eventEmitter` so that if the detail object is a scalar, it will not attempt to "objectify"
it. This was causing a bug where retrofitting the eventEmitter to some older components resulted
in a detail of "some" being translated into ['s', 'o', 'm', 'e']. Not what is wanted.
2. Removed the "transitional form" from the existing components; they had a two-step where the web
component class was just a wrapper around an independent rendering function. While this worked,
it was only to make the case that they *were* independent rendering objects and could be
supported with the right web component framework. We're halfway there now; the last step will be
to transform the horizontal-element and various input CSS into componentized CSS, the way
Patternfly-Elements is currently doing.
3. Fixed the `help` field so that it could take a string or a TemplateResult, and if the latter,
don't bother wrapping it in the helper text functionality; just let it be its own thing. This
supports the multi-line help of redirectURI as well as the `ak-utils-time-delta` capability.
4. Transform Oauth2ProviderForm to use the new components, to the best of our ability. Also used
the `provider = this.wizard.provider` and `provider = this.instance` syntax to make the render
function *completely portable*; it's the exact same text that is dropped into...
5. The complete `ak-application-wizard-authentication-by-oauth` component. They're so similar part
of me wonders if I could push them both out to a common reference, or a collection of common
references. Both components use the PropertyMapping and Sources, and both use the same
collection of searches (Crypto, Flow).
6. A Storybook for `ak-application-wizard-authentication-by-oauth`, showing the works working.
7. New mocks for `authorizationFlow`, `propertyMappings`, and `hasJWKs`.
This sequence has revealed a bug in the radio control. (It's always the radio control.) If the
default doesn't match the current setting, the radio control doesn't behave as expected; it won't
change when you fully expect that it should. I'll investigate how to harmonize those tomorrow.
This isn't really a very good hack; what it does is say that every story is
responsible for hacking its theme into the parent. This is very annoying, but
it does mean that we can at least show our components in the best light.
Because radio inputs are actually multiples, the events handling for
radio is... wonky. If we want our `<ak-radio>` component to be a
unitary event dispatcher, saying "This is the element selected," we
needed to do more than what was currently being handled.
I've intercepted the events that we care about and have placed
them into a controller that dictates both the setting and the
re-render of the component. This makes it "controlled" (to use the
Angular/React/Vue) language and depends on Lit's reactiveElement
lifecycle to work, rather than trust the browser, but the browser's
experience with respect to the `<input type=radio` is pretty bad:
both input elements fire events, one for "losing selection" and
one for "gaining selection". That can be very confusing to handle,
so we funnel them down in our aggregate radio element to a single
event, "selection changed".
As a quality-of-life measure, I've also set the label to be
unselectable; this means that a click on the label will trigger the
selection event, and a long click will not disable selection or
confuse the selection event generator.
the radio is sending the wrong value !?!?!?. Track that down, dammit. The search wrappers now resend
their events as standard `input` events, and that actually seems to work well; the browser is
decorating it with the right target, with the right `name` attribute, and since we have good
definitions of the `value` as a string (the real value of any search object is its UUID4), that
works quite well. Added search wrappers for CoreGroup and CryptoCertificate (CertificateKeyPairs),
and the latter has flags for "use the first one if it's the only one" and "allow the display of
keyless certificates."
Not sure why `state()` is blocking the transmission of typing information from the typed element
to the context handler, but it's a bug in the typechecker, and it's not a problem so far.

I become frustrated with my inability to make any progress on this project, so I decided to reach
for a tool that I consider highly reliable but also incredibly time-consuming and boring: test
driven development.
In this case, I wrote a story about how I wanted to see the first page rendered: just put the HTML
tag, completely unadorned, that will handle the first page of the wizard. Then, add an event handler
that will send the updated content to some parent object, since what we really want is to
orchestrate the state of the user's input with a centralized location. Then, rather than fiddling
with the attributes and properties of the various pages, I wanted them to be able to "look up" the
values they want, much as we'd expect a standalone form to be able to pull its values from the
server, so I added a context object that receives the update event and incorporates the new
knowledge about the state of the process into itself.
The result is surprisingly satisfying: the first page renders cleanly, displays the content that we
want, and as we fiddle with, we can *watch in real time* as the results of the context are updated
and retransmitted to all receiving objects. And the sending object gets the results so it
re-renders, but it ends up looking the same as it was before the render.

This is a pretty good result. By using the LightDOM setting, this
provides the existing Authentik form manager with access to the
ak-form-horizontal-element components without having to do any
cross-border magic. It's not ideal, and it shows up just how badly
we've got patternfly splattered everywhere, but the actual results
are remarkable. The patterns for text, switch, radio, textarea,
file, and even select are smaller and easier here.
I'm still noodling on what an unspread search-select element would
look like. It's just dependency injection, so it ought to be as
straightforward as that.
* web: weightloss program, part 1: FlowSearch
This commit extracts the multiple uses of SearchSelect for Flow lookups in the `providers`
collection and replaces them with a slightly more legible format, from:
```HTML
<ak-search-select
.fetchObjects=${async (query?: string): Promise<Flow[]> => {
const args: FlowsInstancesListRequest = {
ordering: "slug",
designation: FlowsInstancesListDesignationEnum.Authentication,
};
if (query !== undefined) {
args.search = query;
}
const flows = await new FlowsApi(DEFAULT_CONFIG).flowsInstancesList(args);
return flows.results;
}}
.renderElement=${(flow: Flow): string => {
return RenderFlowOption(flow);
}}
.renderDescription=${(flow: Flow): TemplateResult => {
return html`${flow.name}`;
}}
.value=${(flow: Flow | undefined): string | undefined => {
return flow?.pk;
}}
.selected=${(flow: Flow): boolean => {
return flow.pk === this.instance?.authenticationFlow;
}}
>
</ak-search-select>
```
... to:
```HTML
<ak-flow-search
flowType=${FlowsInstancesListDesignationEnum.Authentication}
.currentFlow=${this.instance?.authenticationFlow}
required
></ak-flow-search>
```
All of those middle methods, like `renderElement`, `renderDescription`, etc, are *completely the
same* for *all* of the searches, and there are something like 25 of them; this commit only covers
the 8 in `providers`, but the next commit should carry all of them.
The topmost example has been extracted into its own Web Component, `ak-flow-search`, that takes only
two arguments: the type of `FlowInstanceListDesignation` and the current instance of the flow.
The static methods for `renderElement`, `renderDescription` and `value` (which are all the same in
all 25 instances of `FlowInstancesListRequest`) have been made into standalone functions.
`fetchObjects` has been made into a method that takes the parameter from the `designation` property,
and `selected` has been turned into a method that takes the comparator instance from the
`currentFlow` property. That's it. That's the whole of it.
`SearchSelect` now emits an event whenever the user changes the field, and `ak-flow-search`
intercepts that event to mirror the value locally.
`Form` has been adapted to recognize the `ak-flow-search` element and extract the current value.
There are a number of legibility issues remaining, even with this fix. The Authentik Form manager
is dependent upon a component named `ak-form-element-horizontal`, which is a container for a single
displayed element in a form:
```HTML
<ak-form-element-horizontal
label=${msg("Authorization flow")}
?required=${true}
name="authorizationFlow"
>
<ak-flow-search
flowType=${FlowsInstancesListDesignationEnum.Authorization}
.currentFlow=${this.instance?.authorizationFlow}
required
></ak-flow-search>
<p class="pf-c-form__helper-text">
${msg("Flow used when authorizing this provider.")}
</p>
</ak-form-element-horizontal>
```
Imagine, instead, if we could write:
```HTML
<ak-form-element-flow-search
flowType=${FlowsInstancesListDesignationEnum.Authorization}
.currentFlow=${this.instance?.authorizationFlow}
required
name="authorizationFlow">
<label slot="label">${msg("Authorization flow")}</label>
<span slot="help">${msg("Flow used when authorizing this provider.")}</span>
<ak-form-element-flow-search>
```
Starting with a superclass that understands the need for `label` and `help` slots, it would
automatically configure the input object that would be used. We've already specified multiple
identical copies of this thing in multiple different places; centralizing their definition and then
re-using them would be classic code re-use.
Even better, since the Authorization flow is used 10 times in the whole of our code base, and the
Authentication flow 8 times, and they are *all identical*, it would be fitting if we just created
wrappers:
```HTML
<ak-form-element-flow-search
flowType=${FlowsInstancesListDesignationEnum.Authorization}>
<ak-form-element-flow-search>
```
That's really all that's needed. There are *hundreds* (about 470 total) cases where nine or more
lines of repetitious HTML could be replaced with a one-liner like the above.
A "narrow waist" design is one that allows for a system to communicate between two different
components through a small but consistent collection of calls. The Form manager needs to be narrowed
hard. The `ak-form-element-horizontal` is a wrapper around an input object, and it has this at its
core for extracting that information. This forwards the name component to the containing input
object so that when the input object generates an event, we can identify the field it's associated
with.
```Javascript
this.querySelectorAll("*").forEach((input) => {
switch (input.tagName.toLowerCase()) {
case "input":
case "textarea":
case "select":
case "ak-codemirror":
case "ak-chip-group":
case "ak-search-select":
case "ak-radio":
input.setAttribute("name", this.name);
break;
default:
return;
}
```
A *temporary* variant of this is in the `ak-flow-search` component, to support this API without
having to modify `ak-form-element-horizontal`.
And then `ak-form` itself has this:
```Javascript
if (
inputElement.tagName.toLowerCase() === "select" &&
"multiple" in inputElement.attributes
) {
const selectElement = inputElement as unknown as HTMLSelectElement;
json[element.name] = Array.from(selectElement.selectedOptions).map((v) => v.value);
} else if (
inputElement.tagName.toLowerCase() === "input" &&
inputElement.type === "date"
) {
json[element.name] = inputElement.valueAsDate;
} else if (
inputElement.tagName.toLowerCase() === "input" &&
inputElement.type === "datetime-local"
) {
json[element.name] = new Date(inputElement.valueAsNumber);
}
// ... another 20 lines removed
```
This ought to read:
```Javascript
const json = elements.filter((element => element instanceof AkFormComponent)
.reduce((acc, element) => ({ ...acc, [element.name]: element.value] });
```
Where, instead of hand-writing all the different input objects for date and datetime and checkbox
into our forms, and then having to craft custom value extractors for each and every one of them,
just write *one* version of each with all the wrappers and bells and whistles already attached, and
have each one of them have a `value` getter descriptor that returns the value expected by our form
handler.
A back-of-the-envelope estimation is that there's about four *thousand* lines that could disappear
if we did this right.
More importantly, it would be possible to create new `AkFormComponent`s without having to register
them or define them for `ak-form`; as long as they conformed to the AkFormComponent's expectations
for "what is a source of values for a Form", `ak-form` would understand how to handle it.
Ultimately, what I want is to be able to do this:
``` HTML
<ak-input-form
itemtype="ak-search"
itemid="ak-authentication"
itemprop=${this.instance}></ak-inputform>
```
And it will (1) go out and find the right kind of search to put there, (2) conduct the right kind of
fetch to fill that search, (3) pre-configure it with the user's current choice in that locale.
I don't think this is possible-- for one thing, it would be very expensive in terms of development,
and it may break the "narrow waist" ideal by require that the `ak-input-form` object know all the
different kinds of searches that are available. The old Midgardian dream was that the object would
have *just* the identity triple (A table, a row of that table, a field of that row), and the
Javascript would go out and, using the identity, *find* the right object for CRUD (Creating,
Retrieving, Updating, and Deleting) it.
But that inspiration, as unreachable as it is, is where I'm headed. Where our objects are both
*smart* and *standalone*. Where they're polite citizens in an ordered universe, capable of
independence sufficient to be tested and validated and trusted, but working in concert to achieve
our aims.
* web: unravel the search-select for flows completely.
This commit removes *all* instances of the search-select
for flows, classifying them into four different categories:
- a search with no default
- a search with a default
- a search with a default and a fallback to a static default if non specified
- a search with a default and a fallback to the tenant's preferred default if this is a new instance
and no flow specified.
It's not humanly possible to test all the instances where this has been committed, but the linters
are very happy with the results, and I'm going to eyeball every one of them in the github
presentation before I move this out of draft.
* web: several were declared 'required' that were not.
* web: I can't believe this was rejected because of a misspelling in a code comment. Well done\!
* web: another codespell fix for a comment.
* web: adding 'codespell' to the pre-commit command. Fixed spelling error in eventEmitter.
