Cached markdown version is composed both from global and local
markdown version. This allows admins to bump version locally when
needed (e.g. when external URL is changed).
and also make sure that if a field is saved, then the existing cache version is maintained or only upgraded to the version with the same markdown engine.
This refactors the Markdown pipeline so it supports the rendering of
multiple documents that may belong to different projects. An example of
where this happens is when displaying the event feed of a group. In this
case we retrieve events for all projects in the group. Previously we
would group events per project and render these chunks separately, but
this would result in many SQL queries being executed. By extending the
Markdown pipeline to support this out of the box we can drastically
reduce the number of SQL queries.
To achieve this we introduce a new object to the pipeline:
Banzai::RenderContext. This object simply wraps two other objects: an
optional Project instance, and an optional User instance. On its own
this wouldn't be very helpful, but a RenderContext can also be used to
associate HTML documents with specific Project instances. This work is
done in Banzai::ObjectRenderer and allows us to reuse as many queries
(and results) as possible.
Example: for issues that are closed, the links will now show '[closed]'
following the issue number. This is done as post-process after the markdown has
been loaded from the cache as the status of the issue may change between
the cache being populated and the content being displayed.
In order to avoid N+1 queries problem when rendering notes ObjectRenderer
populates the cache of referenced issuables for all notes at once,
before the post processing phase.
As a part of this change, the Banzai BaseParser#grouped_objects_for_nodes
method has been refactored to return a Hash utilising the node itself as the
key, since this was a common pattern of usage for this method.
have been fully redacted and contain cross-project references.
The previous implementation relied on Note#cross_reference_not_visible_for?,
which essentially tries to render all the Markdown references in a system note
and only displays the note if the user can see the referring project. But this
duplicated the work that Banzai::NotesRenderer was doing already. Instead, for
each note we render, we memoize the number of visible user references and
use it later if it is available.
Improves #19273
This commit changes the way certain documents are rendered (currently
only Notes) and how documents are redacted. Previously both rendering
and redacting would run on a per document basis. The result of this was
that for every document we'd have to run countless queries just to
figure out if we could display a set of links or not.
This commit changes things around so that redacting Markdown documents
is no longer tied into the html-pipeline Gem. This in turn allows it to
redact multiple documents in a single pass, thus reducing the number of
queries needed.
In turn rendering issue/merge request notes has been adjusted to take
advantage of this new setup. Instead of rendering Markdown somewhere
deep down in a view the Markdown is rendered and redacted in the
controller (taking the current user and all that into account). This has
been done in such a way that the "markdown()" helper method can still be
used on its own.
This particular commit also paves the way for caching rendered HTML on
object level. Right now there's an accessor method Note#note_html which
is used for setting/getting the rendered HTML. Once we cache HTML on row
level we can simply change this field to be a column and call a "save"
whenever needed and we're pretty much done.
