Added the configuration key, `service.staticpath`, to serve files from the configuration path on root (/).
Serving static files allows the api service to also serve the frontend content. This is a simple option for deploying Vikunja without needing any other servers or proxies.
Running a complete instance becomes:
VIKUNJA_SERVICE_STATICPATH=/path/to/frontend ./vikunja
Where `/path/to/frontend` is a copy of Vikunja's frontend static files.
## Implementation
Providing a path, via the configuration or environment, adds a static file middleware to serve the path's contents from root (/).
By default, the configuration path is empty and Vikunja's existing behaviour is unchanged.

# Description
This PR adds API routes to create and manage caldav tokens. These tokens can be used instead of a user password - required for users who are using external auth providers and don't have a password.

Previously, we did not check if a list has more tasks than the ones returned. By default, the Microsoft Graph API only returns 10 tasks. If the user had more they would not get imported.
Now we check if there are more pages with tasks and pull them all in until we have everything.

Instead of naeveily checking for all reminders due in the next minute, we now check all reminders in all time zones in the next minutes. This essentially means checking for reminders due in the next 14 or past 12 hours. We then check for each user who would receive a reminder from that result if it is actually due in their time zone.
This should prevent issues where users would get the reminder in the time zone of their server, not in their own.

While the request body of a DELETE request *can* have data in it, it is not really supported and pretty much undocumented. As such, it doesn't work in all clients and probably broke with recent updates.
This fixes this by moving all parts of the task relation used to identify it in the url.

Vikunja provides a simple observer pattern mechanism through events and listeners.
The basic principle of events is always the same: Something happens (=An event is fired) and something reacts to it (=A listener is called).
Vikunja supports this principle through the `events` package.
It is built upon the excellent [watermill](https://watermill.io) library.
Currently, it only supports dispatching events through Go Channels which makes it configuration-less.
More methods of dispatching events (like kafka or rabbitmq) are available in watermill and could be enabled with a PR.
This document explains how events and listeners work in Vikunja, how to use them and how to create new ones.
{{<table_of_contents>}}
## Events
### Definition
Each event has to implement this interface:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
type Event interface {
Name() string
}
{{</highlight>}}
An event can contain whatever data you need.
When an event is dispatched, all of the data it contains will be marshaled into json for dispatching.
You then get the event with all its data back in the listener, see below.
#### Naming Convention
Event names should roughly have the entity they're dealing with on the left and the action on the right of the name, separated by `.`.
There's no limit to how "deep" or specifig an event name can be.
The name should have the most general concept it's describing at the left, getting more specific on the right of it.
#### Location
All events for a package should be declared in the `events.go` file of that package.
### Creating a New Event
The easiest way to create a new event is to generate it with mage:
```
mage dev:make-event <event-name><package>
```
The function takes the name of the event as the first argument and the package where the event should be created as the second argument.
Events will be appended to the `pkg/<module>/events.go` file.
Both parameters are mandatory.
The event type name is automatically camel-cased and gets the `Event` suffix if the provided name does not already have one.
The event name is derived from the type name and stripped of the `.event` suffix.
The generated event will look something like the example below.
### Dispatching events
To dispatch an event, simply call the `events.Dispatch` method and pass in the event as parameter.
### Example
The `TaskCreatedEvent` is declared in the `pkg/models/events.go` file as follows:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
// TaskCreatedEvent represents an event where a task has been created
type TaskCreatedEvent struct {
Task *Task
Doer web.Auth
}
// Name defines the name for TaskCreatedEvent
func (t *TaskCreatedEvent) Name() string {
return "task.created"
}
{{</highlight>}}
It is dispatched in the `createTask` function of the `models` package:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
func createTask(s *xorm.Session, t *Task, a web.Auth, updateAssignees bool) (err error) {
// ...
err = events.Dispatch(&TaskCreatedEvent{
Task: t,
Doer: a,
})
// ...
}
{{</highlight>}}
As you can see, the curent task and doer are injected into it.
### Special Events
#### `BootedEvent`
Once Vikunja is fully initialized, right before the api web server is started, this event is fired.
## Listeners
A listener is a piece of code that gets executed asynchronously when an event is dispatched.
A single event can have multiple listeners who are independent of each other.
### Definition
All listeners must implement this interface:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
// Listener represents something that listens to events
type Listener interface {
Handle(msg *message.Message) error
Name() string
}
{{</highlight>}}
The `Handle` method is executed when the event this listener listens on is dispatched.
* As the single parameter, it gets the payload of the event, which is the event struct when it was dispatched decoded as json object and passed as a slice of bytes.
To use it you'll need to unmarshal it. Unfortunately there's no way to pass an already populated event object to the function because we would not know what type it has when parsing it.
* If the handler returns an error, the listener is retried 5 times, with an exponentional back-off period in between retries.
If it still fails after the fifth retry, the event is nack'd and it's up to the event dispatcher to resend it.
You can learn more about this mechanism in the [watermill documentation](https://watermill.io/docs/middlewares/#retry).
The `Name` method needs to return a unique listener name for this listener.
It should follow the same convention as event names, see above.
### Creating a New Listener
The easiest way to create a new listener for an event is with mage:
Vikunjs provides a simple abstraction to send notifications per mail and in the database.
{{<table_of_contents>}}
## Definition
Each notification has to implement this interface:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
type Notification interface {
ToMail() *Mail
ToDB() interface{}
Name() string
}
{{</highlight>}}
Both functions return the formatted messages for mail and database.
A notification will only be sent or recorded for those of the two methods which don't return `nil`.
For example, if your notification should not be recorded in the database but only sent out per mail, it is enough to let the `ToDB` function return `nil`.
### Mail notifications
A list of chainable functions is available to compose a mail:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
mail := NewMail().
// The optional sender of the mail message.
From("test@example.com").
// The optional receipient of the mail message. Uses the mail address of the notifiable if omitted.
To("test@otherdomain.com").
// The subject of the mail to send.
Subject("Testmail").
// The greeting, or "intro" line of the mail.
Greeting("Hi there,").
// A line of text
Line("This is a line of text").
// An action can contain a title and a url. It gets rendered as a big button in the mail.
// Note that you can have only one action per mail.
// All lines added before an action will appearr in the mail before the button, all lines
// added afterwards will appear after it.
Action("The Action", "https://example.com").
// Another line of text.
Line("This should be an outro line").
{{</highlight>}}
If not provided, the `from` field of the mail contains the value configured in [`mailer.fromemail`](https://vikunja.io/docs/config-options/#fromemail).
### Database notifications
All data returned from the `ToDB()` method is serialized to json and saved into the database, along with the id of the
notifiable, the name of the notification and a time stamp.
If you don't use the database notification, the `Name()` function can return an empty string.
## Creating a new notification
The easiest way to generate a mail is by using the `mage dev:make-notification` command.
It takes the name of the notification and the package where the notification will be created.
## Notifiables
Notifiables can receive a notification.
A notifiable is defined with this interface:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
type Notifiable interface {
// Should return the email address this notifiable has.
RouteForMail() string
// Should return the id of the notifiable entity
RouteForDB() int64
}
{{</highlight>}}
The `User` type from the `user` package implements this interface.
## Sending a notification
Sending a notification is done with the `Notify` method from the `notifications` package.
It takes a notifiable and a notification as input.
For example, the email confirm notification when a new user registers is sent like this:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
n := &EmailConfirmNotification{
User: update.User,
IsNew: false,
}
err = notifications.Notify(update.User, n)
return
{{</highlight>}}
## Testing
The `mail` package provides a `Fake()` method which you should call in the `MainTest` functions of your package.
If it was called, no mails are being sent and you can instead assert they have been sent with the `AssertSent` method.
When testing, you should call the `notifications.Fake()` method in the `TestMain` function of the package you want to test.
This prevents any notifications from being sent and lets you assert a notifications has been sent like this:

## API Tests
The following parts are about the kinds of tests in the API package and how to run them.
### Prerequesites
To run any kind of test, you need to specify Vikunja's [root path](https://vikunja.io/docs/config-options/#rootpath).
This is required to make sure all test fixtures are correctly loaded.
The easies way to do that is to set the environment variable `VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ROOTPATH` to the path where you cloned the working directory.
### Unit tests
To run unit tests with [mage]({{< ref "mage.md">}}), execute
{{<highlightbash>}}
mage test:unit

{{<table_of_contents>}}
In Vikunja, everything that is not an integration test counts as unit test - even if it accesses the db.
This definition is a bit blurry, but we haven't found a better one yet.

## Fixtures
All tests are run against a set of db fixtures.
These fixtures are defined in `pkg/models/fixtures` in YAML-Files which represent the database structure.

When initializing db fixtures, you are responsible for defining which tables your package needs in your test init function.
Usually, this is done as follows (this code snippet is taken from the `user` package):
```go

err = db.InitTestFixtures("users")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)

In your actual tests, you then load the fixtures into the in-memory db like so:
```go

db.LoadAndAssertFixtures(t)
```

This will load all fixtures you defined in your test init method.
You should always use this method to load fixtures, the only exception is when your package tests require extra test
fixtures other than db fixtures (like files).
## Frontend tests
The frontend has end to end tests with Cypress that use a Vikunja instance and drive a browser against it.
Check out the docs [in the frontend repo](https://kolaente.dev/vikunja/frontend/src/branch/main/cypress/README.md) about how they work and how to get them running.
### Unit Tests
To run the frontend unit tests, run
{{<highlightbash>}}
yarn test:unit
{{</highlight>}}
The frontend also has a watcher available that re-runs all unit tests every time you change something.
All translation strings are stored in `src/i18n/lang/`.
New strings should be added only in the `en.json` file.
Strings in other languages will be synced through weblate and should not be added directly as a PR/commit in the frontend repo.
## Requesting a new language
If you want to start translating Vikunja in a language not yet available in Vikunja, please request the language through the crowdin interface.
If you have issues with this or need a discussion before doing so, please [contact us](https://vikunja.io/contact/) or [start a discussion in the forum](https://community.vikunja.io).
Once at least 50% of all translation strings are translated and approved, they will be added and distributed with the Vikunja frontend for users to select and use Vikunja with them.
This document explains how to use the mailer to send emails and what to do to create a new kind of email to be sent.
{{<table_of_contents>}}
## Sending emails
**Note:** You should use mail templates whenever possible (see below).
To send an email, use the function `mail.SendMail(options)`. The options are defined as follows:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
type Opts struct {
To string // The email address of the recipent
Subject string // The subject of the mail
Message string // The plaintext message in the mail
HTMLMessage string // The html message
ContentType ContentType // The content type of the mail. Can be either mail.ContentTypePlain, mail.ContentTypeHTML, mail.ContentTypeMultipart. You should set this according to the kind of mail you want to send.
Boundary string
Headers []*header // Other headers to set in the mail.
}
{{</highlight>}}
### Sending emails based on a template
For each mail with a template, there are two email templates: One for plaintext emails, one for html emails.
These are located in the `templates/mail` folder and follow the conventions of `template-name.{plain|hmtl}.tmpl`,
both the plaintext and html templates are in the same folder.
To send a mail based on a template, use the function `mail.SendMailWithTemplate(to, subject, tpl string, data map[string]interface{})`.
`to` and `subject` are pretty much self-explanatory, `tpl` is the name of the template, without `.html.tmpl` or `.plain.tmpl`.
`data` is a map you can pass additional data to your template.
### Sending a mail with a template
A basic html email template would look like this:
{{<highlightgo-html-template>}}
{{template "mail-header.tmpl" .}}
<p>
Hey there!<br/>
This is a minimal html email example.<br/>
{{.Something}}
</p>
{{template "mail-footer.tmpl"}}
{{</highlight>}}
And the corresponding plaintext template:
{{<highlightgo-text-template>}}
Hey there!
This is a minimal html email example.
{{.Something}}
{{</highlight>}}
You would then call this like so:
{{<highlightgolang>}}
data := make(map[string]interface{})
data["Something"] = "I am some computed value"
to := "test@example.com"
subject := "A simple test mail"
tpl := "demo" // Assuming you saved the templates as demo.plain.tmpl and demo.html.tmpl
mail.SendMailWithTemplate(to, subject, tpl, data)
{{</highlight>}}
The function does not return an error. If an error occures when sending a mail, it is logged but not returned because sending the mail happens asinchrounly.
Notice the `mail-header.tmpl` and `mail-footer.tmpl` in the template. These populate some basic css, a box for your content and the vikunja logo.
All that's left for you is to put the content in, which then will appear in a beautifully-styled box.
Remeber, these are email templates. This is different from normal html/css, you cannot use whatever you want (because most of the clients are wayyy to outdated).
Vikunja being a go application, has no other dependencies than go itself.
All libraries are bundeled inside the repo in the `vendor/` folder, so all it boils down to are these steps:
To completely build Vikunja from source, you need to build the api and frontend.
1. Make sure [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) is properly installed on your system. You'll need at least Go `1.9`.
2. Make sure [Mage](https://magefile) is properly installed on your system.
3. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/api`
{{<table_of_contents>}}
## API
The Vikunja API has no other dependencies than go itself.
That means compiling it boils down to these steps:
1. Make sure [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) is properly installed on your system. You'll need at least Go `1.17`.
2. Make sure [Mage](https://magefile.org) is properly installed on your system.
3. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/api` and switch into the directory.
3. Run `mage build:build` in the source of this repo. This will build a binary in the root of the repo which will be able to run on your system.
*Note:* Static ressources such as email templates are built into the binary.
For these to work, you may need to run `mage build:generate` before building the vikunja binary.
When builing entirely with `mage`, you dont need to do this, `mage build:generate` will be run automatically when running `mage build:build`.
# Build for different architectures
### Build for different architectures
To build for other platforms and architectures than the one you're currently on, simply run `mage release:release` or `mage release:{linux|windows|darwin}`.
More options are available, please refer to the [magefile docs]({{< ref "../development/mage.md">}}) for more details.
More options are available, please refer to the [magefile docs]({{< ref "../development/mage.md">}}) for more details.
## Frontend
The code for the frontend is located at [code.vikunja.io/frontend](https://code.vikunja.io/frontend).
You need to have yarn v1 and nodejs in version 16 installed.
1. Make sure [yarn v1](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install) is properly installed on your system.
3. Clone the repo with `git clone https://code.vikunja.io/frontend` and switch into the directory.
3. Install all dependencies with `yarn install`
4. Build the frontend with `yarn build`. This will result in a js bundle in the `dist/` folder which you can deploy.
This example assumes [traefik](https://traefik.io) version 2 installed and configured to [use docker as a configuration provider](https://docs.traefik.io/providers/docker/).
There is a proxy preinstalled in DSM, so if you want to access vikunja from outside,
you can prepare 2 proxy rules:
* a redirection rule for vikunja's api (see example screenshot using port 3456)
* a similar redirection rule for vikunja's frontend (using port 4321)

You should also add 2 empty folders for mariadb and vikunja inside Synology's
docker main folders:
* Docker
* vikunja
* mariadb
Synology has it's own GUI for managing Docker containers... But it's easier via docker compose.
To do that, you can
* either activate SSH and paste the adapted compose file in a terminal (using Putty or similar)
* without activating SSH as a "custom script" (go to Control Panel / Task Scheduler / Create / Scheduled Task / User-defined script)
* without activating SSH, by using Portainer (you have to install first, check out [this tutorial](https://www.portainer.io/blog/how-to-install-portainer-on-a-synology-nas) for exmple):
1. Go to **Dashboard / Stacks** click the button **"Add Stack"**
2. Give it the name Vikunja and paste the adapted docker compose file
3. Deploy the Stack with the "Delpoy Stack" button:

The docker-compose file we're going to use is very similar to the [example without any proxy](#example-without-any-proxy) above:
You may want to change the volumes to match the rest of your setup.
Once deployed, you might want to change the [`PUID` and `GUID` settings]({{< ref "install-backend.md">}}#setting-user-and-group-id-of-the-user-running-vikunja) or [set the time zone]({{< ref "config.md">}}#timezone).
After registering all your users, you might also want to [disable the user registration]({{<ref "config.md">}}#enableregistration).
<b>NOTE:</b> If you change the max upload size in Vikunja's settings, you'll need to also change the <code>client_max_body_size</code> in the nginx proxy config.
</div>
## NGINX Proxy Manager (NPM)
1. Create a standard Proxy Host for the Vikunja Frontend within NPM and point it to the URL you plan to use. The next several steps will enable the Proxy Host to successfully navigate to the API (on port 3456).
2. Verify that the page will pull up in your browser. (Do not bother trying to log in. It won't work. Trust me.)
3. Now, we'll work with the NPM container, so you need to identify the container name for your NPM installation. e.g. NGINX-PM
4. From the command line, enter `sudo docker exec -it [NGINX-PM container name] /bin/bash` and navigate to the proxy hosts folder where the `.conf` files are stashed. Probably `/data/nginx/proxy_host`. (This folder is a persistent folder created in the NPM container and mounted by NPM.)
5. Locate the `.conf` file where the server_name inside the file matches your Vikunja Proxy Host. Once found, add the following code, unchanged, just above the existing location block in that file. (They are listed by number, not name.)
```
location ~* ^/(api|dav|\.well-known)/ {
proxy_pass http://api:3456;
client_max_body_size 20M;
}
```
6. After saving the edited file, return to NPM's UI browser window and refresh the page to verify your Proxy Host for Vikunja is still online.
7. Now, switch over to your Vikunja browswer window and hit refresh. If you configured your URL correctly in original Vikunja container, you should be all set and the browser will correctly show Vikunja. If not, you'll need to adjust the address in the top of the login subscreen to match your proxy address.
