# Web-Base

Web-Base is a php framework which provides basic web functionalities and a modern ReactJS Admin Dashboard.

### Requirements
- PHP >= 8.2
- One of these php extensions: mysqli, postgres
- Apache/nginx or docker

### Current Functionalities:
- [Installation Guide with automatic database setup](#installation)
- [REST API](#adding-api-endpoints)
- [Supporting MySQL + PostgreSQL](#modifying-the-database)
- [Dynamic Page Routing](#routing)
- [Localization](#localization)
- [Command Line Interface (CLI)](#cli)
- [Account & User functions](#access-control)
- [Google reCaptcha](https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/) and [hCaptcha](https://docs.hcaptcha.com/) Integration
- Rate Limiting using Redis
- modern ReactJS Admin Dashboard
- Docker Support

### Upcoming:
I actually don't know what i want to implement here. There are quite to many CMS out there with alot of vulnerabilities. There also exist some frameworks already. This project is meant to provide a stable project base to implement what ever a developer wants to: Dynamic Homepages, Webshops, ..

## Installation

### Default Installation
1. `git clone https://git.romanh.de/Projekte/web-base` (or `https://github.com/rhergenreder/web-base`)
2. Create a [mysql](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/creating-database.html) or [postgresql](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/sql-createdatabase.html) database
    or use an existing empty database (e.g. test or public)
3. Open the webapp in your browser and follow the installation guide

### Docker Installation
1. Create an `.env` file with `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD` AND `REDIS_PASSWORD`
2. `docker-compose build`
3. `docker-compose up`
   - Since the docker runs as user www-data (33), the following permissions are recommended and at least necessary for the installation process:
     ```
     chown -R :33 .
     chmod -R 775 .
     ```
4. Open the webapp in your browser and follow the installation guide

### Afterwards

For any changes made in [/react](/react), run:
1. once: `yarn install`
2. build: `yarn run build`

The compiled dist files will be automatically moved to `/js`.

To spawn a temporary development server, run:
```bash
php cli frontend dev <module>
```
or directly via yarn:
```bash
cd react
yarn workspace $project run dev
```

To fulfill the requirements of data deletion for **GDPR**, add the following line to your `/etc/crontab`
or any other cron file:
```
@daily www-data /usr/bin/sh -c 'cd /var/www/html && /usr/bin/php cli.php db clean'
```

## Extending the Base

### Adding API-Endpoints

Each API endpoint has usually one overlying category, for example all user and authorization endpoints belong to the [UserAPI](/Core/API/UserAPI.class.php).
These endpoints can be accessed by requesting URLs starting with `/api/user`, for example: `/api/user/login`. There are also endpoints, which don't have
a category, e.g. [VerifyCaptcha](/Core/API/VerifyCaptcha.class.php). These functions can be called directly, for example with `/api/verifyCaptcha`. Both methods have one thing in common:
Each endpoint is represented by a class inheriting the [Request Class](/Core/API/Request.class.php). An example endpoint looks like this:

```php
namespace Core\API;
use Core\Objects\Context;

class SingleEndpoint extends Request {

  public function __construct(Context $context, bool $externalCall = false) {
    parent::__construct($context, $externalCall, array(
      "someParameter" => new Parameter("someParameter", Parameter::TYPE_INT, true, 100)
    ));
    $this->forbidMethod("POST");
  }

  public function _execute(): bool {
    $this->result['someAttribute'] = $this->getParam("someParameter") * 2;
    return true;
  }
}
```

An endpoint consists of two important functions:
1. the constructor defining the expected parameters as well as some restrictions and endpoint configuration.
2. the execute function, checking all requirements by calling the parent, and then executing the own method.

To create an API category containing multiple endpoints, a parent class inheriting from `Request`, e.g. `class MultipleAPI extends Request` is required.
All endpoints inside this category then inherit from the `MultipleAPI` class.

The classes must be present inside the [API](/Site/API) directory according to the other endpoints.
You can easily create new classes using the template command:
```bash
php cli.php api add
```

### Access Control

By default, and if not further specified or restricted, all endpoints have the following access rules:
1. Allowed methods: GET and POST (`$this->allowedMethods`)
2. No login is required (`$this->loginRequired`)
3. CSRF-Token is required, if the user is logged in (`$this->csrfTokenRequired`)
4. The function can be called from outside (`$this->isPublic`)
5. An API-Key can be used to access this method (`$this->apiKeyAllowed`)
6. All user groups can access the method (Database, Table: `ApiPermission`)

The first five restrictions can be modified inside the constructor, while the group permissions are changed using
the [Admin Dashboard](/react/admin-panel). It's default values are set inside the [database script](/Core/Configuration/CreateDatabase.class.php).

### Using the API internally

Some endpoints are set to private, which means, they can be only accessed inside the backend. These functions, as well as the public ones,
can be used by creating the desired request object, and calling the execute function with our parameters like shown below:

```php
$req = new \Core\API\Mail\Send($context);
$success = $req->execute([
  "to" => "mail@example.org", 
  "subject" => "Example Mail", 
  "body" => "This is an example mail"
]);

if (!$success) {
   echo $req->getLastError();
}
```

The user object is usually obtained from the api (`$this->user`) or from the frontend document (`$document->getUser()`).
If any result is expected from the api call, the `$req->getResult()` method can be used, which returns an array of all field.

### Modifying the database

This step is not really required, as and changes made to the database must not be presented inside the code.
On the other hand, it is recommended to keep track of any modifications for later use or to deploy the application
to other systems. Therefore, either the [default installation script](/Core/Configuration/CreateDatabase.class.php) or
an additional patch file, which can be executed using the [CLI](#CLI), can be created. The patch files are usually
located in [/Core/Configuration/Patch](/Core/Configuration/Patch) and have the following structure:

```php
namespace Core\Configuration\Patch;

use Configuration\DatabaseScript;
use Driver\SQL\SQL;

class example_patch extends DatabaseScript {
  public static function createQueries(SQL $sql): array {
    $queries = [];
    $queries[] = $sql->createTable("ExampleTable")
        ->addSerial("exampleCol")
        ->addString("someString", 32)
        ->primaryKey("exampleCol");
    return $queries;
  }
}
```

### Routing

To access and view any frontend pages, the internal router is used. Available routes can be customized on the admin dashboard. There are four types of routes:

1. Permanent redirect (http status code: 308)
2. Temporary redirect (http status code: 307)
3. Static Route
4. Dynamic Content

A static route targets a file, usually located in [/static](/static) and does nothing more, than returning its content. A dynamic route is usually the way to go:
It takes two parameters, firstly the target document and secondly, an optional view. For example, take the following routing table:

| Route                     | Action     | Target                       | Extra   |
|---------------------------|------------|------------------------------|---------|
| `/funnyCatImage`          | `Static`   | `/static/cat.jpg`            |         |
| `/someRoute/{param:str?}` | `Dynamic`  | `\Site\Documents\MyDocument` | `param` |
| `/redirectMe`             | `Redirect` | `https://romanh.de/`         |         |


The first route would return the cat image, if the case-insensitive path `/funnyCatImage` is requested.
The second route is more interesting, as it includes an optional parameter of type string, which means, any route starting with `/someRoute/` or just `/someRoute` is accepted.
Secondly, it passes the second argument (`param`), which is all the text after the last slash (or `null`) to the dynamically loaded document `MyDocument`.

### Creating and Modifying documents

A frontend page consists of a document, which again consists of a head and a body. Furthermore, a document can have various views, which have to be implemented
programmatically. Usually, all pages inside a document look somehow similar, for example share a common side- or navbar, a header or a footer. If we think of a web-shop,
we could have one document, when showing different articles and products, and a view for various pages, e.g. the dashboard with all the products, a single product view and so on.
To create a new document, a class inside [/Core/Documents](/Core/Documents) is created with the following scheme:

```php
namespace Site\Documents {

  use Core\Elements\Document;
  use Core\Objects\Router\Router;
  use Site\Documents\Example\ExampleHead;
  use Site\Documents\Example\ExampleBody;

  class ExampleDocument extends Document {
    public function __construct(Router $router, ?string $view = NULL) {
      parent::__construct($router, ExampleHead::class, ExampleBody::class, $view);
    }
  }
}

namespace Site\Documents\Example {

  use Core\Elements\Head;
  use Core\Elements\Body;

  class ExampleHead extends Head {
  
    public function __construct($document) {
      parent::__construct($document);
    }
  
    protected function initSources() {
      $this->loadJQuery();
      $this->loadBootstrap();
      $this->loadFontawesome();
    }
  
    protected function initMetas() : array {
      return array(
        array('charset' => 'utf-8'),
      );
    }
  
    protected function initRawFields() : array {
      return array();
    }
  
    protected function initTitle() : string {
      return "Example Document";
    }
  }
  
  class ExampleBody extends Body {
    public function __construct($document) {
      parent::__construct($document);
    }
    
    public function getCode(): string {
       $view = $this->getDocument()->getRequestedView() ?? "<Empty>";
       return "<b>Requested View:</b> " . htmlspecialchars($view);
    }
  }
}
```

Of course, the head and body classes can be placed in any file, as the code might get big and complex.

### Localization

Currently, there are two languages specified, which are stored in the database: `en_US` and `de_DE`.
A language is dynamically loaded according to the `Accept-Language`-Header received, but can also be set using the `lang` parameter
or [/api/language/set](/Core/API/LanguageAPI.class.php) endpoint.


If any translation key is not defined, the key is returned, which means, we don't need to specify the string `Welcome` again. To access the translations,
we firstly have to load the module. This is done by adding the class, or the object inside the constructor.
To translate the defined strings, we can use the global `L()` function. The following code snipped shows the use of 
our sample language module:

**/Site/Localization/de_DE/example.php**:
```php
<?php
return [
    "Welcome" => "Willkommen",
    "EXAMPLE_KEY" => "Beispielübersetzung",
];
```

```php
class SomeView extends \Elements\View {
  public function __construct(\Elements\Document $document) {
    parent::__construct($document);
    $this->langModules[] = "example";
  }
  
  public function getCode() : string{
    return L("Welcome") . "! " . L("EXAMPLE_KEY");
  }
}
```
