- the home.hbs behaviour for the index collection (`/`) is hardcoded in Ghost
- we would like to migrate all existing routes.yaml files
- we only replace the file if the contents of the routes.yaml file equals the old routes.yaml format (with home.hbs as template)
- updated README of settings folder
- if we don't remove the home.hbs template from the default routes.yaml file, home.hbs will be rendered for any page of the index collection
- the backwards compatible behaviour was different
- only render home.hbs for page 1
- remember: the default routes.yaml file reflects how Ghost was working without dynamic routing

### Dynamic Routing
This is the beta version of dynamic routing.
- we had a initial implementation of "channels" available in the codebase
- we have removed and moved this implementation
- there is now a centralised place for dynamic routing - server/services/routing
- each routing component is represented by a router type e.g. collections, routes, static pages, taxonomies, rss, preview of posts
- keep as much as possible logic of routing helpers, middlewares and controllers
- ensure test coverage
- connect all the things together
- yaml file + validation
- routing + routers
- url service
- sitemaps
- url access
- deeper implementation of yaml validations
- e.g. hard require slashes
- ensure routing hierarchy/order
- e.g. you enable the subscriber app
- you have a custom static page, which lives under the same slug /subscribe
- static pages are stronger than apps
- e.g. the first collection owns the post it has filtered
- a post cannot live in two collections
- ensure apps are still working and hook into the routers layer (or better said: and register in the routing service)
- put as much as possible comments to the code base for better understanding
- ensure a clean debug log
- ensure we can unmount routes
- e.g. you have a collection permalink of /:slug/ represented by {globals.permalink}
- and you change the permalink in the admin to dated permalink
- the express route get's refreshed from /:slug/ to /:year/:month/:day/:slug/
- unmount without server restart, yey
- ensure we are backwards compatible
- e.g. render home.hbs for collection index if collection route is /
- ensure you can access your configured permalink from the settings table with {globals.permalink}
### Render 503 if url service did not finish
- return 503 if the url service has not finished generating the resource urls
### Rewrite sitemaps
- we have rewritten the sitemaps "service", because the url generator does no longer happen on runtime
- we generate all urls on bootstrap
- the sitemaps service will consume created resource and router urls
- these urls will be shown on the xml pages
- we listen on url events
- we listen on router events
- we no longer have to fetch the resources, which is nice
- the urlservice pre-fetches resources and emits their urls
- the urlservice is the only component who knows which urls are valid
- i made some ES6 adaptions
- we keep the caching logic -> only regenerate xml if there is a change
- updated tests
- checked test coverage (100%)
### Re-work usage of Url utility
- replace all usages of `urlService.utils.urlFor` by `urlService.getByResourceId`
- only for resources e.g. post, author, tag
- this is important, because with dynamic routing we no longer create static urls based on the settings permalink on runtime
- adapt url utility
- adapt tests
closes#9528
These code changes introduce a YAML parser which will load and parse YAML files from the `/content/settings` directory. There are three major parts involved:
1. `ensure-settings.js`: this fn takes care that on bootstrap, the supported files are present in the `/content/settings` directory. If the files are not present, they get copied back from our default files. The default files to copy from are located in `core/server/services/settings`.
2. `loader.js`: the settings loader reads the requested `yaml` file from the disk and passes it to the yaml parser, which returns a `json` object of the file. The settings loader throws an error, if the file is not accessible, e. g. because of permission errors.
3. `yaml-parser`: gets passed a `yaml` file and returns a `json` object. If the file is not parseable, it returns a clear error that contains the information, what and where the parsing error occurred (e. g. line number and reason).
- added a `get()` fn to settings services, that returns the settings object that's asked for. e. g. `settings.get('routes').then(()...` will return the `routes` settings.
- added a `getAll()` fn to settings services, that returns all available settings in an object. The object looks like: `{routes: {routes: {}, collections: {}, resources: {}}, globals: {value: {}}`, assuming that we have to supported settings `routes` and `globals`.
Further additions:
- config `contentPath` for `settings`
- config overrides for default `yaml` files location in `/core/server/services/settings`
**Important**: These code changes are in preparation for Dynamic Routing and not yet used. The process of copying the supported `yaml` files (in this first step, the `routes.yaml` file) is not yet activated.
