of September 8th through the 14th. In that week, we detangled the UI such that
- Admin did not refer to User
- Elements did not refer to Admin
- Elements did not refer to User
- Common did not refer to Elements
- Components did not refer to Admin
While there is still some cross-referencing that needs to be addressed, that was an excellent start
in saying that there is a hierarchy between the foundation of Contexts (and the API), Applications,
and Elements.
With that hierarchy in mind, this commit enters a whole new phase of the build decomposition,
streamlining, and performance campaign.
The objective is to extract, one by one, components of the system that do not need "awareness" of
other components, and to make them independent, and to create an ecosystem of elements, components,
contexts, verticals (individual user stories, such as "Manage a User" or "Add a Provider"), and
finally whole applications that have both high visibility and legibility, and which create a
dependency graph that will allow developers to work faster, more efficiently, and with greater
confidence.
At least that's the hope.
* web: Replace ad-hoc toggle control with ak-toggle-group
This commit replaces various ad-hoc implementations of the Patternfly Toggle Group HTML with a web
component that encapsulates all of the needed behavior and exposes a single API with a single event
handler, return the value of the option clicked.
The results are: Lots of visual clutter is eliminated. A single link of:
```
<div class="pf-c-toggle-group__item">
<button
class="pf-c-toggle-group__button ${this.mode === ProxyMode.Proxy
? "pf-m-selected"
: ""}"
type="button"
@click=${() => {
this.mode = ProxyMode.Proxy;
}}>
<span class="pf-c-toggle-group__text">${msg("Proxy")}</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="pf-c-divider pf-m-vertical" role="separator"></div>
```
Now looks like:
```
<option value=${ProxyMode.Proxy}>${msg("Proxy")}</option>
```
This also means that the three pages that used the Patternfly Toggle Group could eliminate all of
their Patternfly PFToggleGroup needs, as well as the `justify-content: center` extension, which also
eliminated the `css` import.
The savings aren't as spectacular as I'd hoped: removed 178 lines, but added 123; total savings 55
lines of code. I still count this a win: we need never write another toggle component again, and
any bugs, extensions or features we may want to add can be centralized or forked without risking the
whole edifice.

* web: Replace ad-hoc search for CryptoCertificateKeyPairs with crypto-certificate-search (#6475)
* web: Replace ad-hoc search for CryptoCertificateKeyPairs with ak-crypto-certeficate-search
This commit replaces various ad-hoc implementations of `search-select` for CryptoCertificateKeyPairs
with a web component that encapsulates all of the needed behavior and exposes a single API.
The results are: Lots of visual clutter is eliminated. A single search of:
```HTML
<ak-search-select
.fetchObjects=${async (query?: string): Promise<CertificateKeyPair[]> => {
const args: CryptoCertificatekeypairsListRequest = {
ordering: "name",
hasKey: true,
includeDetails: false,
};
if (query !== undefined) {
args.search = query;
}
const certificates = await new CryptoApi(
DEFAULT_CONFIG,
).cryptoCertificatekeypairsList(args);
return certificates.results;
}}
.renderElement=${(item: CertificateKeyPair): string => {
return item.name;
}}
.value=${(item: CertificateKeyPair | undefined): string | undefined => {
return item?.pk;
}}
.selected=${(item: CertificateKeyPair): boolean => {
return this.instance?.tlsVerification === item.pk;
}}
?blankable=${true}
>
</ak-search-select>
```
Now looks like:
```HTML
<ak-crypto-certificate-search certificate=${this.instance?.tlsVerification}>
</ak-crypto-certificate-search>
```
There are three searches that do not require there to be a valid key with the certificate; these are
supported with the boolean property `nokey`; likewise, there is one search (in SAMLProviderForm)
that states that if there is no current certificate in the SAMLProvider and only one certificate can
be found in the Authentik database, use that one; this is supported with the boolean property
`singleton`.
These changes replace 382 lines of object-oriented invocations with 36 lines of declarative
configuration, and 98 lines for the class. Overall, the code for "find a crypto certificate" has
been reduced by 46%.
Suggestions for a better word than `singleton` are welcome!
* web: display tests for CryptoCertificateKeypair search
This adds a Storybook for the CryptoCertificateKeypair search, including
a mock fetch of the data. In the course of running the tests, we discovered
that including the SearchSelect _class_ won't include the customElement declaration
unless you include the whole file! Other bugs found: including the CSS from
Storybook is different from that of LitElement native, so much so that the
adapter needed to be included. FlowSearch had a similar bug. The problem
only manifests when building via Webpack (which Storybook uses) and not
Rollup, but we should support both in distribution.
* web: basic cleanup of buttons
This commit adds Storybook features to the Authentik four-stage button.
The four-stage button is used to:
- trigger an action
- show that the action is running
- show when the action has succeeded, then reset
- show when the action has failed, then reset
It is used mostly for fetching data from the server. The variants are:
- ak-spinner-button: The basic form takes a single property argument, `callAction` a function that
returns a Promise (an asynchronous function).
- ak-action-button: Takes an API request function (which are all asynchronous) and adapts it to the
`callAction`. The only difference in behavior with the Spinner button is that on failure the error
message will be displayed by a notification.
- ak-token-copy-button: A specialized button that, on success, pushes the content of the retrieved
object into the clipboard.
Cleanup consisted of:
- removing a lot of the in-line code from the HTML, decluttering it and making more explicit what
the behaviors of each button type are on success and on failure.
- Replacing the ad-hoc Promise management with Lit's own `Task` handler. The `Task` handler knows
how to notify a Lit-Element of its own internal state change, making it ideal for objects like
this button that need to change their appearance as a Promise'd task progresses from idle →
running → (success or failure).
- Providing JSDoc strings for all of the properties, slots, attributes, elements, and events.
- Adding 'pointer-events: none' during the running phases of the action, to prevent the user from
clicking the button multiple times and launching multiple queries.
- Emitting an event for every stage of the operation:
- `ak-button-click` when the button is clicked.
- `ak-button-success` when the action completes. The payload is included in `Event.detail.result`
- `ak-button-failure` when the action fails. The error message is included in `Event.detail.error`
- `ak-button-reset` when the button completes a notification and goes back to idle
**Storybook**
Since the API requests for both `ak-spinner-button` and `ak-action-button` require only that a
promise be returned, Storybooking them was straightforward. `ak-token-copy-button` is a
special-purpose derivative with an internal functionality that can't be easily mocked (yet), so
there's no Storybook for it.
All of the stories provide the required asynchronous function, in this cose one that waits three
seconds before emitting either a `response` or `reject` Promise.
`ak-action-button`'s Story has event handler code so that pressing on the button will result in a
message being written to a display block under the button.
I've added a new pair of class mixins, `CustomEmitterElement` and `CustomListenerElement`. These
each add an additional method to the classes they're mixed into; one provides a very easy way to
emit a custom event and one provides a way to receive the custom event while sweeping all of the
custom event type handling under the rug.
`emitCustomEvent` replaces this:
``` JavaScript
this.dispatchEvent(
new CustomEvent('ak-button-click', {
composed: true,
bubbles: true,
detail: {
target: this,
result: "Some result, huh?"
},
})
);
```
... with this:
``` JavaScript
this.dispatchCustomEvent('ak-button-click', { result: "Some result, huh?" });
```
The `CustomListenerElement` handler just ensures that the handler being passed to it takes a
CustomEvent, and then makes sure that any actual event passed to the handler has been type-guarded
to ensure it is a custom event.
**Observations**
*Composition vs Inheritance, Part 1*
The four-state button has three implementations. All three inherit from `BaseTaskButton`:
- `spinner`
- provides a default `callAction()`
- `action`
- provides a different name for `callAction`
- overrides `onError` to display a Notification.
- `token-copy`
- provides a custom `callAction`
- overrides `onSuccess` to copy the results to the keyboard
- overrides `onError` to display a Notification, with special handling for asynchronous
processing.
The *results* of all of these could be handled higher up as event handlers, and the button could be
just a thing that displays the states. As it is, the BaseStateToken has only one reason to change
(the Promise changes its state), so I'm satisfied that this is a suitable evolution of the product,
and that it does what it says it does.
*Developer Ergonomics*
The one thing that stands out to me time and again is just how *confusing* all of the Patternfly
stuff tends to be; not because it's not logical, but because it overwhelms the human 7±2 ability to
remember details like this without any imperative to memorize all of them. I would like to get them
under control by marshalling them under a semantic CSS regime, but I'm blocked by some basic
disconnects in the current development environment. We can't shake out the CSS as much as we'd like
because there's no ESPrima equivalent for Typescript, and the smallest bundle purgeCSS is capable of
making for just *one* button is about 55KB. That's a bit too much. It's a great system for getting
off the ground, but long-term it needs more love than we (can) give it.
* Prettier has opinions.
* Removed extraneous debugging code.
* Added comments to the BaseTaskButton parent class.
* web: fixed two build errors (typing) in the stories.
* web: prettier's got opinions
* web: refactor the buttons
This commit adds URL mocking to Storybook, which in turn allows us to
commit a Story for ak-token-copy-button.
I have confirmed that the button's algorithm for writing to the
clipboard works on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. I don't know
what's up with IE.
* ONE BYTE in .storybook/main blocked integration.
With the repair of lit-analyze, it's time to fix the rule set
to at least let us pass for the moment.
* Still looking for the list of exceptions in lit-analyze that will let us pass once more.
* web: repair error in EnterpriseLicenseForm
This commit continues to find the right configuration for
lit-analyze. During the course of this repair, I discovered
a bug in the EnterpriseLicenseForm; the original usage could
result in the _string_ `undefined` being passed back as a
value. To handle the case where the value truly is undefined,
the `ifDefined()` directive must be used in the HTML template.
I have also instituted a case-by-case stylistic decision to allow
the HTML, and only the HTML, to be longer that 100 characters
when doing so reduces the visual "noise" of a function.
* web: begin refactoring the application for future development
This commit:
- Deletes a bit of code.
- Extracts *all* of the Locale logic into a single folder, turns management of the Locale files over
to Lit itself, and restricts our responsibility to setting the locale on startup and when the user
changes the locale. We do this by converting a lot of internal calls into events; a request to
change a locale isn't a function call, it's an event emitted asking `REQUEST_LOCALE_CHANGE`. We've
even eliminated the `DETECT_LOCALE_CHANGE` event, which redrew elements with text in them, since
Lit's own `@localized()` decorator does that for us automagically.
- We wrap our interfaces in an `ak-locale-context` that handles the startup and listens for the
`REQUEST_LOCALE_CHANGE` event.
- ... and that's pretty much it. Adding `@localized()` as a default behavior to `AKElement` means
no more custom localization is needed *anywhere*.
* web: improve the localization experience
This commit fixes the Storybook story for the localization context component,
and fixes the localization initialization pass so that it is only called once
per interface environment initialization. Since all our interfaces share the
same environment (the Django server), this preserves functionality across
all interfaces.

web: replace lingui with lit/localize
\#\# Changes
This rather massive shift replaces the lingui and `t()` syntax with lit-localize, XLIFF, and the `msg()`
syntax used by lit-localize. 90% of this work was mechanized; simple perl scripts found and replaced
all uses of `t()` with the appropriate corresponding syntax for `msg()` and `msg(str())`.
The XLIFF files were auto-generated from the PO files. They have not been audited, and they should be
checked over by professional translators. The actual _strings_ have not been changed, but as this was
a mechanized change there is always the possibility of mis-translation-- not by the translator, but by
the script.
* web: revise lit/localize: fix two installation issues.
* web: revise localization
TL;DR:
- Replaced all of Lingui's `t()` syntax with `msg()` syntax.
- Mechanically (i.e with a script) converted all of the PO files to XLIFF files
- Refactored the localization code to be a bit smarter:
- the function `getBestMatchLocale` takes the locale lists and a requested locale, and returns the
first match of:
- The locale's code exactly matches the requested locale
- The locale code exactly matches the prefix of the requested locale (i.e the "en" part of "en-US")
- the locale code's prefix exactly matches the prefix of the requested locale
This function is passed to lit-locate's `loadLocale()`.
- `activateLocale()` just calls `loadLocale()` now.
- `autodetectLanguage` searches the following, and picks the first that returns a valid locale
object, before passing it to `loadLocale()`:
- The User's settings
- A `?locale=` component found in `window.location.search`
- The `window.navigator.language` field
- English
The `msg()` only runs when it's run. This seems obvious, but it means that you cannot cache
strings at load time; they must be kept inside functions that are re-run so that the `msg()` engine
can look up the strings in the preferred language of the user at that moment.
You can use thunks-of-strings if you really need them that way.
* Including the 'xliff-converter' in case anyone wants to review it.
* The xliff-converter is tagged as 'xliff-converter', but has been
deleted.

* web: conversion to lit-localize
The CI produced a list of problems that I hadn't caught earlier,
due to a typo ("localize build" is correct, "localize compile" is
not) I had left in package.json. They were minor and linty, but
it was still wise to fix them.
* web: replace lingui with lit/locale
This commit fixes some minor linting issues that were hidden by a typo in package.json. The
issues were not apparently problematic from a Javascript point of view, but they pointed
to sloppy thinking in the progression of types through the system, so I cleaned them
up and formalized the types from LocaleModule to AkLocale.
* web: replace lingui with lit/localize
One problem that has repeatedly come up is that localize's templates do not produce
JavaScript that conforms with our shop style. I've replaced `build-locale` with
a two-step that builds the locale *and* ensures that it conforms to the shop style
via `prettier` every time.
* web: replace lingui with lit-locale
This commit applies the most recent bundle of translations to the
new lit-locale aspect component. It also revises the algorithm
for *finding* the correct locale, replacing the complex fall-back
with some rather straightforward regular expressions.
In the case of Chinese, the fallback comes at the end of the
selection list, which may not be, er, politically valuable
(since Taiwan and Hong Kong come before, being exceptions that
need to be tested). If we need a different order for presentation,
that'll be a future feature.
* web: replace lingui with lit/locale
Well, that was embarassing.
* web: add storybook
The delta on this didn't make any sense; putting it back causes no behavioral
changes.
* web: add Storybook
Fixed a typo in the package.json that prevented the TSC check
from passing.
* web: incorporate storybook
This commit includes a number of type and definitional changes needed to make lit-analyze pass. In
most cases, it was a matter of reassuring Lit that we were using the right type and the right type
converter, or configuring the property such that it should never be called as an attribute.
The most controversial change is adding the 'no-incompatible-type-binding' to the LIT analyzer
configuration (found in `tsconfig.json`). This "routes around" lit-analyzer not doing very well
understanding that some HTML objects can have generic property types, as long as the renderer is
configured correctly.
The 'no-missing-import: off' setting is required as lit-analyzer also does not use the tsconfig
`paths` setting correctly and cannot find objects defined via aliases.
It's a shame JSON can't support comments; these should be in the tsconfig.json file directly. As it
is, I've started a README file that includes a section to record configuration decisions.
Deleted the lingui.config file as we're not using it anymore
