A list of the third party plugins within Mahara.
A list of the third-party plugins within Mahara.


Indicating what version they are on in Mahara and what they currently are on at time of publishing 15 Aug 2016:
=== Composer commands ===
For available versions, e.g.  <code>composer show phpro/grumphp-shim 1.14.* --all</code>


{| class=wikitable
For our composer dependencies:  <code>composer show  --tree</code>
 
For checking the dependencies of a library version, e.g. <code>composer show elasticsearch/elasticsearch 7.17.* --tree</code>
 
Check if there are any outdated libraries (according to the [[SemVer Info|version syntax]] in <code>composer.json</code>)  <code>composer outdated</code>
 
=== Checking the <code>.Mahara</code> files ===
To check the versions in the <code>.Mahara</code> files, a helpful way to update this list is to go:
  <code>find ./htdocs -type f -iname "README.Mahara" -exec grep 'Version' -B1 {} \; -print</code>
... on the current codebase.
 
=== Syncing the list in 'Country' dropdowns ===
To keep in sync is the country names we use for 'Country' dropdowns. To check what the current state of play is
<code>perl -MLocale::Country -le 'print join("\n", sort map { country2code($_) . " => " . country2code($_, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3) . ", // " . $_ } all_country_names())'</code>
and check the results against <code>htdocs/lib/country.php</code> and <code>htdocs/lang/en.utf8/mahara.php</code> files
 
For any confusion you can also check against https://www.iso.org
 
== Third-party libraries (PHP and JS) ==
 
=== Legend ===
*'''Mahara version''' = the <code>README.Mahara</code> file for the library | [https://nodejs.dev/learn/semantic-versioning-using-npm SemVer Info] - explaining the symbols in the Mahara version column
*'''Latest version''' = the most recent available version
*'''Update type''' = what upgrades are available for this plugin, i.e. major, minor, patch, or security?
*'''Support''' = Is there a community supporting this library? When was the last release year if not in active support
**Active: There is ongoing work being put into the library
**Inactive: Maintained but not actively making releases
**Archived: Not being maintained
**Deprecated (officially): All maintainers have left, and site may not exist in extreme cases.
*'''License''' = software license for the library
*'''Notes''' = extra information, e.g. resources, notes, and new
*'''Composer''' = check if the library is managed by Composer
*'''NPM''' = check if the library is managed by NPM
'''PHP versions in support''' https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php<nowiki/>⁣ – 14 LTS - Ends security support in 30 Apr 2023, go to 16 LTS soon
 
💡 A new idea is being proposed to better handle customisations on updating third party libraries lives here → https://reviews.mahara.org/c/mahara/+/13780
 
=== PHP libraries (excluding external) ===
https://eusonlito.github.io/php-changes-cheatsheet/deprecated.html
 
Libraries are managed by Composer. See <code>composer.json</code>
 
Run <code>composer show</code> to get a quick summary of library versions managed by Composer.
 
Run <code>composer outdated</code> to get a list of outdated libraries.
 
🟡 Libraries yet to be moved to Composer: SimpleSAMLPHP - currently lives in <code>htdocs/auth/saml/extlib</code> and the version is managed in Makefile by curl.

=== Composer.json dependencies ===
'''Resources:''' https://git.mahara.org | <code>/mahara/mahara/-/blob/</code> | <code>mahara/external/composer.json</code>
'''Run''' <code>composer outdated</code> to check for updates.

Latest revision as of 16:18, 4 Ocak 2024

A list of the third-party plugins within Mahara.

Composer commands

For available versions, e.g. composer show phpro/grumphp-shim 1.14.* --all

For our composer dependencies: composer show --tree

For checking the dependencies of a library version, e.g. composer show elasticsearch/elasticsearch 7.17.* --tree

Check if there are any outdated libraries (according to the version syntax in composer.json) composer outdated

Checking the .Mahara files

To check the versions in the .Mahara files, a helpful way to update this list is to go: 

 find ./htdocs -type f -iname "README.Mahara" -exec grep 'Version' -B1 {} \; -print

... on the current codebase.

Syncing the list in 'Country' dropdowns

To keep in sync is the country names we use for 'Country' dropdowns. To check what the current state of play is 

perl -MLocale::Country -le 'print join("\n", sort map { country2code($_) . " => " . country2code($_, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3) . ", // " . $_ } all_country_names())'

and check the results against htdocs/lib/country.php and htdocs/lang/en.utf8/mahara.php files

For any confusion you can also check against https://www.iso.org

Third-party libraries (PHP and JS)

Legend

  • Mahara version = the README.Mahara file for the library | SemVer Info - explaining the symbols in the Mahara version column
  • Latest version = the most recent available version
  • Update type = what upgrades are available for this plugin, i.e. major, minor, patch, or security?
  • Support = Is there a community supporting this library? When was the last release year if not in active support
    • Active: There is ongoing work being put into the library
    • Inactive: Maintained but not actively making releases
    • Archived: Not being maintained
    • Deprecated (officially): All maintainers have left, and site may not exist in extreme cases.
  • License = software license for the library
  • Notes = extra information, e.g. resources, notes, and new
