This method provides generalized, consistent type casting more versatile than PHP's basic type juggling while hiding the significant complexity in achieving this.
While this commit does not change any existing code to use the new method, the intent is for both API handlers and database drivers to use the same basic rules for type conversion while still allowing for differing failure modes.
Also consolidated article star counting into a generic articleCount function which accepts a context.
This may lead to slight efficiency losses in either listing or marking (and more significant ones in counting starred), but the advantages of centralized context handling are significant with the future addition of labels and the need to count articles under various future contexts in TTRSS.
- Database functions now accept any input, but throw typeViolation exceptions where appropriate instead of idMissing or subjectMissing
- Added unit tests for the new Misc\ValueInfo static class
- Added ValueInfo::id() method to centrally validate database IDs, and made use of it consistently
- Made use of PHP's filter_var() function where appropriate when validating or sanitizing input
- Made the NCN protocol handler reject most invalid IDs before handing off to method handlers
- Made NCN's feedUpdate and subscriptionMove methods return 422 on invalid input
- Adjusted several tests to handler type violations
- Specifying a non-integer parent no longer silently casts to 0 or 1
- Specifying a folder ID of 0 now always converts to null automatically
- Performing both a rename and move to root in the same operation no longer results in potential duplicates
- Calling folderSetProperties with an empty data array no peforms an update; it now returns false before the update call
- Modification timestamps are now actually updated when a folder is modified
- Constraint violation exceptions triggered by code (rather than the database) now print a message
- Renaming a folder or subscription to a non-string value (e.g. an array) throws an exception rather than silently casting
- Added tests to better cover all the above
- Centralized the normalization of integers and title strings into a new ValueInfo static class
- use DateFormatter throughout the Feed class
- Ensure dates have TEXT affinity in SQLite, in case it matters
- Add a userPreAuth setting for when relying on the Web server to do authentication
- Revamped design of Query class to be more consistent and predictable, and generally suck less
- Removed special case for Query class in Statement class
- Cleaned up database schema somewhat
- Test the values returned by articleList
- Test paged and reversed listing
- Test marking, un/read, un/starred, and both
- Nearly complete rewrite of marking queries; previous efforts simply did not work, or overzealously updated or inserted
- Testing of marking contexts still required
- Fixes #55
- Included test for Context
- Adjusted Database::editionLatest() to use Context
- Adjusted NCN handler and tests accordingly
- Also refined experimental Database::articleList() method and added experimental Database::articlePropertiesSet() method
- Makes use of PHP's internal Web server to deliver expected responses from a real server
- Windows batch file can be used to run tests (Linux and Mac test runners to come later)
- Added PHPUnit to dev dependencies
