The `inspect` plugin can now detect references to plugins, backends,
events, responses and schemas in docstrings and replace them either with
links to the documentation or auto-generated examples.
Display a popup modal instead of a confirm box to prompt the user to
install the PWA app.
`confirm` blocks the JavaScript engine when run in `beforeMount` and
therefore the browser won't be able to proceed with `event.prompt()`.
There are situations where you may not want to run the HTTP server in a
full blown WSGI-over-Tornado container - unit/integration tests and
embedded single-core devices are among those cases.
In those scenarios, we should allow the user to be able to run the
backend using the built-in Werkzeug server provided by Flask.
The frontend now calls `utils.rst_to_html` to render the docstrings as
HTML instead of dumping them as raw text.
Also, actions and arguments are now cached to improve performance.
This reverts commit 71401a4936.
Temporarily reverted this commit because the `reuse_address` on the
application's `listen` method has only been implemented in Tornado 6.2 -
and Debian stable still shipts Tornado 6.1.
The WSGI container is a good option to wrap a multi-modal webapp
(Flask + websocket routes), but it's constrained to a single-process
approach and queued/pre-buffered requests. That makes performance poor
when handling requests that may take a few seconds to complete.
Defined a `platypush.backend.http.ws` package with all the routes, a
base `WSRoute` class that all the websocket routes can extend, and a
logic in the HTTP backend to automatically scan the package to register
exposed websocket routes.
It was just too painful to find a combination of versions of gunicorn,
gevent, eventlet, pyuwsgi etc. that could work on all of my systems.
On the other hand, Tornado works out of the box with no headaches.
Also in this commit:
- Updated a bunch of outdated/required integration dependencies.
- Black'd and LINTed a couple of old plugins.
The eventlet API has way too many dependency issues with gunicorn.
Still TODO: Fix or at least mitigate the WSGI workers timeout issue when
they handle websocket connections.
The websocket service is no longer provided by a different service,
controlled by a different thread running on another port.
Instead, it's now exposed directly over Flask routes, using
WSGI+eventlet+simple_websocket.
Also, the SSL context options have been removed from `backend.http`, for
sake of simplicity. If you want to enable SSL, you can serve Platypush
through a reverse proxy like nginx.
Instead of iterating over each of the entities in a grouping to find out
which groups should be displayed based on the selector's policy, the
selector can directly keep its `selectedGroups` attribute in sync with
the index.
