# XFlow
|
|
7
|
-
|
|
8
|
-
Hosting for web apps. The code lives in an ordinary repository on the developer machine, the
|
|
9
|
-
CLI sends the sources, the platform builds them in a clean sandbox, serves each app at its own
|
|
10
|
-
address and runs its backend: one database and cloud functions per project.
|
|
11
|
-
|
|
12
|
-
No `xflow.json` in the folder or above it means it is not bound to a project yet:
|
|
13
|
-
`xflow projects list` names the projects of the organization with their ids, `xflow link <id>`
|
|
14
|
-
binds the folder to one (an empty folder gets the whole project), and `xflow init` starts a new
|
|
15
|
-
project with its first app.
|
|
16
|
-
|
|
17
|
-
## First rule
|
|
18
|
-
|
|
19
|
-
Check commands and flags against `xflow help` and `xflow help <command>`, not against
|
|
20
|
-
memory. If a command is not in the help output, it does not exist: guessing flags is
|
|
21
|
-
pointless. The CLI prints a hint with almost every error, read it in full, it usually
|
|
22
|
-
contains the fix.
|
|
23
|
-
|
|
24
|
-
The public documentation, in Russian, goes deeper than this file: its table of contents is
|
|
25
|
-
https://docs.getxflow.com/llms.txt, every page has a Markdown copy. Read the page you need
|
|
26
|
-
instead of guessing; give the person https://docs.getxflow.com when they ask how something works.
|
|
27
|
-
|
|
28
|
-
## Keeping these instructions current
|
|
29
|
-
|
|
30
|
-
These instructions ship with xflow CLI 1.
|
|
31
|
-
the CLI answering your commands.
|
|
32
|
-
|
|
33
|
-
When the CLI says this file does not match it, run `xflow skills --refresh` and then **read
|
|
34
|
-
again the file it names**: refreshing only writes to disk, and until you re-read it you are
|
|
35
|
-
still working from the old rules. Do it yourself, no need to ask.
|
|
36
|
-
|
|
37
|
-
Updating the CLI is not yours. `xflow update` replaces a program shared by every project on
|
|
38
|
-
the machine: offer the update in your summary. The exception is a platform refusing the CLI as too old (`outdated_cli`):
|
|
39
|
-
nothing runs until it is updated, so say what you are doing and run it.
|
|
40
|
-
|
|
41
|
-
## Hard rules
|
|
42
|
-
|
|
43
|
-
These mistakes cost the most because nothing fails at the moment they are made, or
|
|
44
|
-
the error points away from the cause. The sections below carry the details.
|
|
45
|
-
|
|
46
|
-
1. Read environment variables literally: `process.env.API_KEY`. Destructuring
|
|
47
|
-
(`const { API_KEY } = process.env`), a name built from an expression, `?.` and
|
|
48
|
-
spreading the environment all read as no mention of the variable at all. The
|
|
49
|
-
build rejects them, and `xflow env check` names them before that.
|
|
50
|
-
2. A value written with `xflow env set` reaches the functions on the next
|
|
51
|
-
`xflow deploy functions`, not at the moment it is written.
|
|
52
|
-
3. Never delete a `functions/<name>/` directory unless the user asked for that
|
|
53
|
-
function to go. The next deploy removes it from the cloud together with its keys and
|
|
54
|
-
schedules, and that is final.
|
|
55
|
-
4. A function an app calls needs that app in its `callers` in the root
|
|
56
|
-
`xflow.json`. Without it the call answers 404 `not_bound`, and a new function is not
|
|
57
|
-
reachable from anywhere.
|
|
58
|
-
5. Every function called by an app open to anyone can be called by
|
|
59
|
-
anybody on the internet with curl. Write it as such, see **Your function is open to the
|
|
60
|
-
whole internet**.
|
|
61
|
-
6. An already applied migration is never re-run, and `xflow db migrate` refuses a
|
|
62
|
-
name it already holds with different content. A schema change is always a new file.
|
|
63
|
-
7. When `xflow db migrate` answers `db_write_locked`, or an INSERT or CREATE TABLE in a
|
|
64
|
-
function fails with `permission denied` (42501), the database is over its plan size and
|
|
65
|
-
Postgres itself refuses. Reads, updates and deletes keep working, so the fix is
|
|
66
|
-
|
|
67
|
-
is shared by the organization: `xflow db list` shows the size of each project database.
|
|
68
|
-
8. Heavy media does not travel with the sources. Photos, video and PDFs go up with
|
|
69
|
-
`xflow storage push`, not into the repository: the archive is capped at 10 MB.
|
|
70
|
-
|
|
71
|
-
## Projects and apps
|
|
72
|
-
|
|
73
|
-
- A project is a box: one database with its migrations, the cloud functions, secrets and
|
|
74
|
-
members. It has no code of its own.
|
|
75
|
-
- An app is code the platform builds and serves at `https://<id>--<org>.xflowpage.ru`
|
|
76
|
-
(`<id>` is six random characters the platform gives the app, `<org>` the name of the
|
|
77
|
-
organization): its own versions, its own access level. A project holds one or more apps,
|
|
78
|
-
and all of them use the same database and the same functions.
|
|
79
|
-
- A project without apps is fine (`xflow init --no-app`): its functions are workflows, woken
|
|
80
|
-
by a schedule, by an outside service holding a key, or by `xflow functions invoke`.
|
|
81
|
-
- `xflow projects get` shows the apps with their folders, addresses and access levels, and
|
|
82
|
-
who may call each function.
|
|
83
|
-
|
|
84
|
-
## Folder layout
|
|
85
|
-
|
|
86
|
-
One folder per project, apps in subfolders:
|
|
87
|
-
|
|
88
|
-
clinic/
|
|
89
|
-
xflow.json projectId, and who may call each function
|
|
90
|
-
package.json dependencies of the functions
|
|
91
|
-
functions/<name>/index.ts cloud functions, shared by every app
|
|
92
|
-
migrations/0001_init.sql the one database of the project
|
|
93
|
-
apps/
|
|
94
|
-
priem/ an app: a Vite project with its own xflow.json (appId, build)
|
|
95
|
-
zapis/
|
|
96
|
-
|
|
97
|
-
- Two kinds of history: the project root (functions, migrations, `xflow.json`) is one, each
|
|
98
|
-
app is another. `apps/**` never travels with the root, the root never travels with an app.
|
|
99
|
-
- An app sees only its own folder when it is built. What two apps share is data and logic,
|
|
100
|
-
and that lives in functions. Functions never go inside an app folder: the build refuses
|
|
101
|
-
`functions/` there (`functions-in-app`).
|
|
102
|
-
- `xflow apps add <folder>` creates an app, lays the template into `apps/<folder>` and prints
|
|
103
|
-
its address. Never create an app folder by hand: without its `appId` it is nobody's.
|
|
104
|
-
`--color <color>` sets the tile the user sees in the project; a wrong one is answered with
|
|
105
|
-
the list of colors. Its icon and a later color change belong to the person in the web
|
|
106
|
-
interface.
|
|
107
|
-
- Rename an app folder freely: the app is its `appId`.
|
|
108
|
-
- Commands follow the folder you stand in: inside `apps/zapis` they mean that app, anywhere
|
|
109
|
-
else in the project they mean the project. `--project <id>` and `--app <id>` name them
|
|
110
|
-
without a folder.
|
|
111
|
-
- Neither `xflow.json` is edited by hand except `functions.<name>.callers` in the root one.
|
|
112
|
-
|
|
113
|
-
## Plan limits
|
|
114
|
-
|
|
115
|
-
The organization runs on a plan with limits: apps, functions, pages, active connections,
|
|
116
|
-
people in the organization, database and file storage, function minutes, builds per month and at once, schedules
|
|
117
|
-
(one count for all projects of the organization) and how often they may run, and which access levels an app may have. Most are finite; a plan
|
|
118
|
-
may leave one uncapped, and then `whoami` prints `no limit` instead of a ceiling.
|
|
119
|
-
`xflow whoami` prints every one of them next to what is used, and the rights of your own key
|
|
120
|
-
with them: destroying data
|
|
121
|
-
linking a connected account each need a right. Reading it before a long task turns a refusal
|
|
122
|
-
halfway through the work into a sentence said before it starts.
|
|
123
|
-
|
|
124
|
-
- Connections are counted while active: switching an unused one off frees the seat without
|
|
125
|
-
deleting it.
|
|
126
|
-
- Function minutes are shared by the whole organization: every app, page and schedule spends
|
|
127
|
-
them. When they run out, every function of the organization stops (`functions_stopped`).
|
|
128
|
-
- An unpaid plan stops the functions at once, and five days later freezes the organization:
|
|
129
|
-
every command except `xflow whoami` answers `subscription_blocked`,
|
|
130
|
-
apps and pages show a "suspended" page. Nothing is deleted and no code fixes it: tell the
|
|
131
|
-
person that the owner pays the invoice in the organization settings, section «Тариф» (Plan).
|
|
132
|
-
- The cap on how long one function call may run is written into the function when it is
|
|
133
|
-
deployed, so a plan change reaches the cloud only with the next `xflow deploy functions` of
|
|
134
|
-
each project, in both directions.
|
|
135
|
-
- One function runs at most a plan-set number of calls at once: Free 5, Start 15, Business 35
|
|
136
|
-
per cloud zone (the cloud has three, the spread is not promised). A call over it gets 429 at
|
|
137
|
-
once: fan out in batches of that size, never all items of a list in parallel.
|
|
138
|
-
|
|
139
|
-
A limit refusal is not a bad request. The CLI prints a line starting with `Plan limit:`, the
|
|
140
|
-
API answers `code: "forbidden"` with a `limit` object (`code`, `used`, `limit`). Retrying, renaming or rewriting the code changes nothing: tell the user
|
|
141
|
-
what ran out and stop, only the owner lifts it. A schedule refused for running too often is one
|
|
142
|
-
of these too, not a bad cron string: the minimum interval comes from the plan, never guess it.
|
|
143
|
-
|
|
144
|
-
## Deploying
|
|
145
|
-
|
|
146
|
-
1. Change the code. In an app folder `npm run typecheck` is a two-second check, `npm run build`
|
|
147
|
-
a fast way to see build errors early: the platform builds again in its own sandbox.
|
|
148
|
-
2. `xflow deploy functions -m "what changed"` sends the project root, checks it, applies the
|
|
149
|
-
new migrations, ships the functions and their callers. A migration that fails or would
|
|
150
|
-
destroy data stops it before any function ships: settle it with `xflow db migrate`
|
|
151
|
-
(`--allow-destructive`), then deploy again. `xflow db migrate` alone changes the schema
|
|
152
|
-
without shipping code. Every app runs the new code the moment it finishes: there is
|
|
153
|
-
no staging and no publish step for server code. Say so to the user.
|
|
154
|
-
3. `xflow deploy apps/zapis -m "what changed"` sends and builds one app; inside `apps/zapis` a
|
|
155
|
-
plain `xflow deploy` does the same. In the root a plain `xflow deploy` refuses and names the
|
|
156
|
-
targets. The comment is required: one short line in the language the user speaks.
|
|
157
|
-
4. `xflow publish` in the app folder (or with `--app <id>`) shows that build to visitors.
|
|
158
|
-
|
|
159
|
-
A change that touches data and screens goes in this order: the functions (with the migration),
|
|
160
|
-
then every app that shows it. `xflow deploy apps/...` warns when the root holds changes nobody
|
|
161
|
-
deployed.
|
|
162
|
-
|
|
163
|
-
- A build of an app is not shown to visitors until `xflow publish`. Publishing points the
|
|
164
|
-
address at a build and takes a second; `xflow publish <number>` (or `xflow rollback <number>`)
|
|
165
|
-
points it at an older kept build, and that is the rollback. The very first build of a new
|
|
166
|
-
app publishes itself.
|
|
167
|
-
- Only the app moves on publish and rollback. Functions come back with
|
|
168
|
-
`xflow deploy functions --revision N -m "why"` (`xflow deployments functions` lists the revisions);
|
|
169
|
-
`--project <id>` names the project without a folder.
|
|
170
|
-
- Files of the **three latest successful builds** of each app are kept, plus the live one;
|
|
171
|
-
`xflow deployments` marks the rest `no pages`. The history keeps 30 builds, a revision stays
|
|
172
|
-
while its build is in it or it is among the 10 latest. Keep anything you must not lose in
|
|
173
|
-
your own git repository.
|
|
174
|
-
- Give a person the app address the CLI printed, or the project page it printed. Name builds
|
|
175
|
-
by their number.
|
|
176
|
-
- `xflow status` says how the local copies differ from the server. A deploy rejected before
|
|
177
|
-
the build starts means the server holds a revision this folder has never seen: fetch it next
|
|
178
|
-
to yours (`xflow pull --into ./server-copy`), merge in git, deploy again. `--force` sends this
|
|
179
|
-
folder over it anyway; the overwritten revision is kept while it is among the last 10, and the
|
|
180
|
-
deploy prints the `xflow pull --revision <N>` line that brings it back. A folder with no record of the server revision (a fresh clone, a CI checkout) is
|
|
181
|
-
not rejected: its first deploy goes on top and says so.
|
|
182
|
-
- A deploy that would delete functions gone from the sources refuses until somebody agrees;
|
|
183
|
-
`--allow-removals` is the only way past it without a terminal. Reaching for it to get a
|
|
184
|
-
build running means you deleted something the user never asked you to: put the directories
|
|
185
|
-
back. If the removal is intended, name the functions and let the user answer.
|
|
186
|
-
|
|
187
|
-
## Build gate
|
|
188
|
-
|
|
189
|
-
Before the sandbox starts, the platform checks the sources. Everything below blocks the build,
|
|
190
|
-
all violations come back together with files and lines, and a rejected attempt costs nothing.
|
|
191
|
-
|
|
192
|
-
An app:
|
|
193
|
-
|
|
194
|
-
- `package.json` with the build script named in its `xflow.json` (`npm run build` by default),
|
|
195
|
-
a `vite.config.*` and `vite` in dependencies. No server frameworks: `next`, `nuxt`, Remix,
|
|
196
|
-
`@sveltejs/kit`, `astro`.
|
|
197
|
-
- `index.html` in the app root with `id="root"` and the script that loads `src/main.tsx`
|
|
198
|
-
(`.ts`, `.jsx`, `.js` count too). Code under `src/`; root `app/`, `pages/`, `next/` are rejected.
|
|
199
|
-
- Keep `base` in `vite.config.js` as the template has it: the platform serves each build from
|
|
200
|
-
`/_b/<key>/`, and a build whose `index.html` points elsewhere is refused.
|
|
201
|
-
- The built app at most 15 MB unpacked, the sources at most 10 MB.
|
|
202
|
-
- File names in latin letters, digits, spaces and `. - _ ~` only: `логотип.png` breaks the build.
|
|
203
|
-
- Call functions through `xflow.functions.invoke`, never a hardcoded function address.
|
|
204
|
-
- No keys or tokens in the sources, no server modules (`fs`, `express`, `http`, `child_process`).
|
|
205
|
-
- Outside `src/components/ui` and `src/components/blocks`: no `alert()`, `confirm()`,
|
|
206
|
-
`prompt()` (use Dialog and Toast), no `console.log` (visitors read the console;
|
|
207
|
-
|
|
208
|
-
- A library that needs a provider (`@tanstack/react-query`, `react-redux`, `sonner`,
|
|
209
|
-
`react-hot-toast`, `react-dnd`) must have it mounted. A missing provider builds fine and
|
|
210
|
-
gives visitors a white screen.
|
|
211
|
-
- The platform files stay byte for byte as they arrived: `src/lib/platform-auth.ts`,
|
|
212
|
-
`src/contexts/platform-auth-context.tsx`, `src/hooks/use-platform-auth.ts`,
|
|
213
|
-
`src/utils/error-logger.ts`, `src/lib/xflow.ts`. The code keeps calling `initPlatformAuth()`
|
|
214
|
-
and `initErrorLogger()` and importing `index.css`, and the Tailwind
|
|
215
|
-
`content` globs keep covering `src/**`. A rejection names the revision to take the original
|
|
216
|
-
from: `xflow pull --revision N --into ./original`, then copy the file back.
|
|
217
|
-
|
|
218
|
-
The project root: function names are lowercase latin letters, digits and hyphens, up to 41
|
|
219
|
-
characters (`send-mail`, not `sendMail`); every name under `functions` in `xflow.json` has its
|
|
220
|
-
`functions/<name>/index.ts`; every caller is an app folder of this project (`unknown-caller`).
|
|
221
|
-
|
|
222
|
-
Passes with a line `Unfinished:` instead of blocking: the template's page title, no
|
|
223
|
-
`<link rel="icon">` in `index.html`, an `exports.access` left in a function (it does nothing).
|
|
224
|
-
Fix the first two before you tell the person the app is done.
|
|
225
|
-
|
|
226
|
-
## The template is a starter kit
|
|
227
|
-
|
|
228
|
-
- `src/components/ui` and `src/components/blocks` are a starting set: change them, restyle them
|
|
229
|
-
or delete what you do not use. Any colors, your own color scheme, inline styles, a single
|
|
230
|
-
theme without dark mode: all allowed.
|
|
231
|
-
- The template looks like the xflow interface: warm grays, hairline controls (`ctl-solid`,
|
|
232
|
-
`ctl-raised`, `ctl-inset`, `ctl-select`), segments (`seg-track`, `seg-on`) and surfaces
|
|
233
|
-
(`surface-raised`, `surface-pop`, `surface-modal`) in `src/index.css`.
|
|
234
|
-
- While any template component is left, the theme token names in `:root` of `src/index.css`
|
|
235
|
-
and their `hsl(var(--name))` mapping in the Tailwind config stay: those components paint with
|
|
236
|
-
them. Values change freely; they are HSL components (`216 95% 40%`), not `#hex`. Your own
|
|
237
|
-
colors go under new names.
|
|
238
|
-
- Images and other assets: import them from `src/` (`import logo from './assets/logo.png'`)
|
|
239
|
-
so the build puts them next to the code. An absolute path into `public/` (`/logo.png`) goes
|
|
240
|
-
through the access check of the app and fails inside the xflow frame in Safari.
|
|
241
|
-
|
|
242
|
-
## Who opens an app
|
|
243
|
-
|
|
244
|
-
A person sets this in the web interface; you cannot, and you should not ask for a way around.
|
|
245
|
-
|
|
246
|
-
| Level | Who gets in |
|
|
247
|
-
|---|---|
|
|
248
|
-
| Project members | people who have access to the project |
|
|
249
|
-
| Anyone with the link | anybody, no sign-in at all |
|
|
250
|
-
|
|
251
|
-
- The plan decides which levels exist: on Free an app opens only inside xflow, Start adds the
|
|
252
|
-
direct address and "Anyone with the link".
|
|
253
|
-
- At the closed level the platform signs people in, and a function receives the person in
|
|
254
|
-
`event.xflow.user` (`id`, `role` in the organization, `name`, `access` to the project).
|
|
255
|
-
Keep roles inside the app (doctor, receptionist) in your own table keyed by `user.id`.
|
|
256
|
-
- People outside the organization (patients, pickers, clients) are not xflow accounts: make the
|
|
257
|
-
app "Anyone with the link" and give it its own sign-in, see below.
|
|
258
|
-
- At "Anyone with the link" the platform signs nobody in: `event.xflow.user` is null for
|
|
259
|
-
visitors. Accounts, sign-in and who sees which rows are the code of your app, see below.
|
|
260
|
-
- `usePlatformAuth()` in the frontend knows the person only inside the xflow frame, and even
|
|
261
|
-
there it is a hint for drawing the interface, edited from the console by anyone. On the
|
|
262
|
-
direct address it answers `anonymous`. Guard data in the function, by `event.xflow`.
|
|
263
|
-
|
|
264
|
-
## Which functions an app may call
|
|
265
|
-
|
|
266
|
-
The root `xflow.json` names the callers of each function:
|
|
267
|
-
|
|
268
|
-
{
|
|
269
|
-
"projectId": "…",
|
|
270
|
-
"functions": {
|
|
271
|
-
"list-slots": { "callers": ["zapis", "priem"] },
|
|
272
|
-
"book-slot": { "callers": ["zapis"] }
|
|
273
|
-
}
|
|
274
|
-
}
|
|
275
|
-
|
|
276
|
-
- A caller is an app folder of this project (`apps/zapis` is `"zapis"`); a page is never
|
|
277
|
-
a caller. A function without callers is left out of `functions` or given `"callers": []`,
|
|
278
|
-
the same thing.
|
|
279
|
-
- A function nobody lists has no callers: no app reaches it. That is a workflow,
|
|
280
|
-
run by a schedule, a key or `xflow functions invoke`.
|
|
281
|
-
- Callers ship with `xflow deploy functions` and come back with its `--revision N`.
|
|
282
|
-
- The app calls `xflow.functions.invoke('book-slot', { body })` from `src/lib/xflow.ts`. The call
|
|
283
|
-
goes to `/_fn/book-slot` on the app's own address: no function addresses, tokens or keys in
|
|
284
|
-
the bundle, nothing to rebuild when a function changes.
|
|
285
|
-
- A refusal throws `XFlowError` with `status` and `code`: `not_bound` (404, add the caller and
|
|
286
|
-
deploy functions), `not_found` (404, the function is not deployed), `login_required` and
|
|
287
|
-
`invalid_credential` (401, the visitor has to sign in again), `no_access`, `role_too_low`,
|
|
288
|
-
`functions_stopped` (403, minutes ran out or the plan is unpaid: a person settles it),
|
|
289
|
-
`rate_limited` (429), `unavailable` (503, retry later). Branch on `code`, never on the message.
|
|
290
|
-
|
|
291
|
-
## Your function is open to the whole internet
|
|
292
|
-
|
|
293
|
-
A function is open when an app at "Anyone with the link" is among its callers. `xflow deploy functions` says so in a line of its own, `xflow functions list`
|
|
294
|
-
prints `open`, the web interface marks it.
|
|
295
|
-
|
|
296
|
-
Open means anybody can call it with curl, without your app: the browser is not a gate.
|
|
297
|
-
Hiding the address, checking `Origin` or `Referer`, a token baked into the bundle: all of it is
|
|
298
|
-
readable or forgeable and protects nothing. Write every open function as if the request came
|
|
299
|
-
from a stranger, because it may:
|
|
300
|
-
|
|
301
|
-
- Check every input: types, lengths, allowed values; refuse fields you do not expect. Put input
|
|
302
|
-
into SQL as parameters only (`$1`), never into the text.
|
|
303
|
-
- Return only what this caller needs: no `select *` into a response, no rows of other people,
|
|
304
|
-
no internal fields, no stack traces.
|
|
305
|
-
- Make writes safe to repeat: take a request id from the client and put a unique index on it,
|
|
306
|
-
so a retry or a replay changes nothing.
|
|
307
|
-
- Deduplicate and limit per visitor where it costs: `event.xflow.ip` is the visitor's address,
|
|
308
|
-
set by the platform proxy and not by the caller. The proxy caps requests per address; the
|
|
309
|
-
organization pays for every minute a function runs.
|
|
310
|
-
- A form open to strangers needs a captcha: Cloudflare Turnstile, with the token checked in the
|
|
311
|
-
function against `https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify` and the secret
|
|
312
|
-
from `xflow env set`. The site key is public and stays in the source. A check in the browser
|
|
313
|
-
checks nothing.
|
|
314
|
-
- `minRole` on an open function refuses every anonymous visitor (`login_required`): use it only
|
|
315
|
-
where members call.
|
|
316
|
-
|
|
317
|
-
## Sign-in in a public app
|
|
318
|
-
|
|
319
|
-
At the closed levels do none of this: the platform already knows the person.
|
|
320
|
-
|
|
321
|
-
- Passwords: store only a hash, `crypto.scrypt` from Node with a random salt per user, compare
|
|
322
|
-
with `crypto.timingSafeEqual`. Never log a password, never return it, never keep it in the
|
|
323
|
-
browser.
|
|
324
|
-
- Session: after sign-in the function makes a random token (`crypto.randomBytes(32)`), stores
|
|
325
|
-
its SHA-256 and an expiry in a table and returns the token in the response body. The app keeps
|
|
326
|
-
it in `localStorage` and sends it on every call in the `X-Session` header. Not a cookie: Cloud
|
|
327
|
-
Functions drop `Cookie` and `Set-Cookie` both ways. `localStorage` belongs to one address, a
|
|
328
|
-
neighbouring `*.xflowpage.ru` site does not read it.
|
|
329
|
-
- Any script on the page reads that token, so: an expiry of hours that each call extends,
|
|
330
|
-
sign-out and a password change delete the session rows, no user text rendered as HTML
|
|
331
|
-
(`dangerouslySetInnerHTML`), no scripts loaded from outside the build.
|
|
332
|
-
- Never put the token into an address (`?session=`, a link): it stays in history and logs. A file
|
|
333
|
-
the function makes for this person is fetched with the header and opened as a `blob:` URL.
|
|
334
|
-
- Not the `Authorization` header: `/_fn` replaces it with the platform's own. Nor headers named
|
|
335
|
-
`X-Xflow-*`, `X-Project-Pass`, `X-Server-Key`, `X-Function-Key`: the platform strips them.
|
|
336
|
-
- Every function that serves a signed-in visitor reads `X-Session` from `event.headers` (match
|
|
337
|
-
the name in any case), finds the session and filters rows by that user in SQL. A hidden button
|
|
338
|
-
is not access control.
|
|
339
|
-
- Count failed sign-ins per email and per `event.xflow.ip` in a table and slow them down.
|
|
340
|
-
- Never in the frontend: keys, secrets, the list of users, hashes, a role check that is the only
|
|
341
|
-
guard.
|
|
342
|
-
- The platform sends no email for your app: confirmation and reset letters need a mail provider
|
|
343
|
-
whose key goes into `xflow env set`.
|
|
344
|
-
- `xflow dev` does not carry `X-Session` and calls functions as you (a member).
|
|
345
|
-
Try the sign-in on the app address.
|
|
346
|
-
|
|
347
|
-
## Page or app
|
|
348
|
-
|
|
349
|
-
- A page is finished static files at `https://<name>.xflowpage.ru`: public, live the moment it
|
|
350
|
-
is uploaded, no build, no publish step, no database. A landing page, a presentation, an invoice.
|
|
351
|
-
- An app is source the platform builds: versions and publish, access levels, a database through
|
|
352
|
-
functions. Anything people sign in to, enter data into or come back to.
|
|
353
|
-
- Keep the sources of a page outside the project folder, or list them in `.xflowignore`: the
|
|
354
|
-
root travels with `deploy functions`.
|
|
355
|
-
- A page has no backend. A form or a lookup for strangers is an app at "Anyone with the link"
|
|
356
|
-
(a paid plan): the platform checks every call to its functions.
|
|
357
|
-
- A function key on a page is allowed, and it opens that function to every visitor: an HTML
|
|
358
|
-
form posts to `https://fn.xflowpage.ru/<projectId>/<name>?key=...`, fetch cannot read the
|
|
359
|
-
answer (no CORS). Nothing guards it but the function's own checks: say so to the user.
|
|
360
|
-
|
|
361
|
-
## Cloud functions
|
|
362
|
-
|
|
363
|
-
`functions/<name>/index.ts` in the project root exports `handler` (`index.js` and `index.mjs`
|
|
364
|
-
are read too), `export const handler` and `exports.handler` both work. The request arrives as
|
|
365
|
-
`event.httpMethod`, `event.headers`, `event.queryStringParameters` and `event.body`, a string
|
|
366
|
-
(`JSON.parse` it; `event.isBase64Encoded` marks a binary body). The handler returns
|
|
367
|
-
`{ statusCode, body }` where `body` is a JSON string, and may add `headers`.
|
|
368
|
-
`xflow functions list` shows status, callers, `open`, keys, last call and last error.
|
|
369
|
-
|
|
370
|
-
- Dependencies (`pg`, a mail client) go into the root `package.json`; the platform installs them
|
|
371
|
-
on every deploy, and a lock file next to it makes that exact.
|
|
372
|
-
- Code shared by functions lives in a root folder such as `lib/`, imported by relative path: each
|
|
373
|
-
function is bundled with what it imports. A folder in `functions/` without `index.*` is not a
|
|
374
|
-
function. Read `process.env` in `functions/<name>/` itself: `xflow env check` looks only there.
|
|
375
|
-
|
|
376
|
-
Keep one shape inside that string across the project: `{ success: true, data }` when it worked,
|
|
377
|
-
`{ success: false, error: { message, code } }` when it did not. Branch the frontend on
|
|
378
|
-
`error.code`, never on `error.message`.
|
|
379
|
-
|
|
380
|
-
A function whose code and variables did not change is not shipped again, and one that fails to
|
|
381
|
-
ship fails the whole deploy.
|
|
382
|
-
|
|
383
|
-
Debugging a deployed function is two commands: `xflow functions invoke <name>` calls it as you,
|
|
384
|
-
through the platform, and prints the body alone, ready for a pipe (`--data '{"a":1}'`, `--data-file
|
|
385
|
-
body.json`, `--method GET`; 4xx and 5xx exit non-zero; Windows PowerShell 5.1 prepends a BOM when
|
|
386
|
-
piping to another program, so read it with `ConvertFrom-Json` or Python's `utf-8-sig`); `xflow functions logs <name>` shows
|
|
387
|
-
the crashes and 5xx answers with stacks and console output, the latest 10 (`--limit N` for more).
|
|
388
|
-
Only failed calls are logged. Empty output does not clear a function that fails at module start,
|
|
389
|
-
runs over its time cap or out of memory: those never reach the logs, `invoke` shows them.
|
|
390
|
-
|
|
391
|
-
The body has to be JSON and the CLI checks it before calling. In PowerShell the double quotes
|
|
392
|
-
never reach the CLI (`--data '{"a":1}'` arrives as `{a:1}`): escape them (`--data '{\"a\":1}'`)
|
|
393
|
-
or pass a file. It bites `--payload` of a schedule the same way. A command that worked writes
|
|
394
|
-
nothing to stderr, so a red line there means it really failed.
|
|
395
|
-
|
|
396
|
-
### Who is calling
|
|
397
|
-
|
|
398
|
-
The platform checks every call before your code runs and hands the answer over in `event.xflow`:
|
|
399
|
-
|
|
400
|
-
```js
|
|
401
|
-
exports.handler = async (event) => {
|
|
402
|
-
const { caller, slug, user, ip } = event.xflow
|
|
403
|
-
// caller: 'app' (an app of this project), 'service' (another function of this
|
|
404
|
-
// project), 'external' (an outside service with a key), 'schedule',
|
|
405
|
-
// 'platform' (a person through xflow functions invoke or the web interface)
|
|
406
|
-
// slug: the address name of the calling app (<id>--<org>), null otherwise
|
|
407
|
-
// user: { id, role, name, access } of a signed-in person, null for anonymous
|
|
408
|
-
// visitors and keys. access: 'view' | 'edit' on this project
|
|
409
|
-
// ip: the visitor's address, null for a schedule
|
|
410
|
-
}
|
|
411
|
-
```
|
|
412
|
-
|
|
413
|
-
Never trust an identity that arrives in the body or in a header of the request: the page lives
|
|
414
|
-
on someone else's computer. `event.xflow` is the only identity the platform stands behind.
|
|
415
|
-
|
|
416
|
-
Project access is separate from the role: a person who only views the project (`access:
|
|
417
|
-
'view'`) still reaches every function. A function that writes refuses them:
|
|
418
|
-
|
|
419
|
-
```js
|
|
420
|
-
if (event.xflow.user && event.xflow.user.access !== 'edit') {
|
|
421
|
-
return { statusCode: 403, body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Read-only access' }) }
|
|
422
|
-
}
|
|
423
|
-
```
|
|
424
|
-
|
|
425
|
-
To remember who did something, store `user.id` and `user.name` in the row: the name is never
|
|
426
|
-
empty, and the app has no other way to look up other people.
|
|
427
|
-
|
|
428
|
-
A function that changes data should say who may call it instead of checking the role by hand:
|
|
429
|
-
|
|
430
|
-
```js
|
|
431
|
-
exports.minRole = 'developer' // 'member' | 'developer' | 'owner'
|
|
432
|
-
```
|
|
433
|
-
|
|
434
|
-
The platform refuses anything below that role before your code runs; it applies to people
|
|
435
|
-
(apps, `functions invoke`), not to keys and schedules. `member` is the people who only
|
|
436
|
-
use the apps (clinic employees, managers), `developer` and `owner` build them. In the web
|
|
437
|
-
interface these roles are called «Просмотр» (`member`), «Редактор» (`developer`) and «Админ»
|
|
438
|
-
(`owner`). Without the line
|
|
439
|
-
every member of the project can call the function. Losing access
|
|
440
|
-
closes the function within a minute.
|
|
441
|
-
|
|
442
|
-
- Another function of the project: `fetch(`${process.env.XFLOW_FN_URL}/<name>`, { headers:
|
|
443
|
-
{ 'X-Server-Key': process.env.XFLOW_SERVER_KEY } })`. The key opens the functions of its own
|
|
444
|
-
project only, whatever their callers.
|
|
445
|
-
- An outside service (a payment webhook, a bot, a CRM) calls
|
|
446
|
-
`https://fn.xflowpage.ru/<projectId>/<name>` (`xflow functions list` prints it) with a key of
|
|
447
|
-
that function in `X-Function-Key` or `?key=`. Keys are issued by a person on the function's
|
|
448
|
-
screen in the web interface, never by you: ask the user. A function holds at most two keys,
|
|
449
|
-
the second one to replace the first without downtime.
|
|
450
|
-
- `exports.access` does nothing any more: who may call is `callers`.
|
|
451
|
-
|
|
452
|
-
## Secrets and connected accounts
|
|
453
|
-
|
|
454
|
-
Keys and passwords live on the platform, not in the repository: `xflow env set SMTP_PASSWORD=…`
|
|
455
|
-
writes one, `xflow env` lists the names, `xflow env check` names the variables your functions
|
|
456
|
-
read but the platform does not have. Values never come back out: the only place they exist is
|
|
457
|
-
inside the running function. Apps get no variables at all.
|
|
458
|
-
|
|
459
|
-
A variable goes to the whole organization unless you say otherwise: `--scope project` keeps it
|
|
460
|
-
to this project alone, `--scope organization` is the default, and a third word is refused.
|
|
461
|
-
Pick the narrow one for anything that belongs to one project. These commands see only what
|
|
462
|
-
this project can see, so `env rm` reports a variable of another project missing even though
|
|
463
|
-
names are unique within the organization.
|
|
464
|
-
|
|
465
|
-
`DATABASE_URL` and every name starting with `XFLOW` are filled in by the platform: writing them
|
|
466
|
-
is refused.
|
|
467
|
-
|
|
468
|
-
Some variables come from a connected account instead of from you. Credentials of an account
|
|
469
|
-
linked to the project show up in `xflow env` marked read-only, under a prefix chosen at link
|
|
470
|
-
time (`YANDEX_DIRECT_TOKEN`, `YANDEX_DIRECT_CLIENT_LOGIN`): read them like any other variable.
|
|
471
|
-
If calls to that service start failing on authorisation, `xflow status` says whether the token
|
|
472
|
-
is merely expiring (any deploy of the functions renews it) or the account was disconnected on
|
|
473
|
-
the provider's side, which only a human can reconnect.
|
|
474
|
-
|
|
475
|
-
`xflow connections` lists those accounts: the ones linked to this project, with the alias and
|
|
476
|
-
the state of the access, and the ones the organization has but this project does not use yet,
|
|
477
|
-
marked `available, not linked`. Check it before telling anyone a service is unavailable.
|
|
478
|
-
|
|
479
|
-
`xflow connections link "Яндекс Метрика" --as YANDEX_METRIKA` is that link and
|
|
480
|
-
`xflow connections unlink YANDEX_METRIKA` undoes it; `xflow help connections` has the naming
|
|
481
|
-
rules. In the project folder unlink refuses while a function still reads one of the variables,
|
|
482
|
-
naming those functions, so read that list before reaching for `--yes`.
|
|
483
|
-
|
|
484
|
-
Linking needs the `connections:link` right on the key, and only accounts granted to the owner
|
|
485
|
-
of the key personally can be linked at all. A key cannot grant it to itself: ask the person.
|
|
486
|
-
Connecting a new account and switching one off stay with a person too.
|
|
487
|
-
|
|
488
|
-
### Asking an API what it returns
|
|
489
|
-
|
|
490
|
-
```
|
|
491
|
-
xflow connections call WB /api/v1/supplier/stocks?dateFrom=2026-09-01
|
|
492
|
-
xflow connections call "Яндекс Метрика" /management/v1/counters
|
|
493
|
-
xflow connections call OZON /v1/product/list --method POST --data '{}' \
|
|
494
|
-
--header '{"Client-Id":"{CLIENT_ID}"}'
|
|
495
|
-
```
|
|
496
|
-
|
|
497
|
-
The platform attaches the credentials and makes the request itself: no deploy, and the key never
|
|
498
|
-
reaches you. A linked account is called by its alias, an `available, not linked` one by its
|
|
499
|
-
name: linking first is not needed to look. Calling is looking, not wiring: to use the account
|
|
500
|
-
in code, link it and deploy functions.
|
|
501
|
-
|
|
502
|
-
`{NAME}` in the path or in a header value is filled in from the fields of the connection. Take
|
|
503
|
-
the names from `xflow connections`, which prints them in braces: an invented name is left in the
|
|
504
|
-
text and the request goes out anyway, into somebody's live account. Ask for the shape, not the
|
|
505
|
-
volume: one day and `limit=1`; `--json | jq '.response.body | keys'` gives the field names
|
|
506
|
-
without the body entering your context. `POST` and `DELETE` change things in a live account and
|
|
507
|
-
nothing undoes that: ask the person first when the endpoint is not clearly a read.
|
|
508
|
-
|
|
509
|
-
## Schedules
|
|
510
|
-
|
|
511
|
-
`xflow schedules set report "0 3 ? * * *"` runs a function daily at 03:00. Six fields, UTC,
|
|
512
|
-
and exactly one of day-of-month / day-of-week must be `?`. A run reaches the handler as a POST
|
|
513
|
-
with `event.xflow.caller === 'schedule'`, and `--payload '{"mode":"full"}'` (or
|
|
514
|
-
`--payload-file body.json`) is its body. The function has to be deployed first.
|
|
515
|
-
A schedule is the function plus its cron: `set` with the same pair only changes the payload, a
|
|
516
|
-
new cron is one more schedule next to the old one. The plan caps the count for the whole
|
|
517
|
-
organization, so take the old one off with `xflow schedules rm report "<old cron>"`.
|
|
518
|
-
|
|
519
|
-
```
|
|
520
|
-
xflow env set SMTP_PASSWORD=... # secrets first: values ride the next deploy
|
|
521
|
-
# write functions/report/index.ts, reading process.env.SMTP_PASSWORD literally
|
|
522
|
-
xflow deploy functions -m "Nightly report"
|
|
523
|
-
xflow schedules set report "0 3 ? * * *" --payload '{"mode":"full"}'
|
|
524
|
-
xflow functions invoke report # run it once
|
|
525
|
-
xflow functions logs report # crashes of real runs
|
|
526
|
-
```
|
|
527
|
-
|
|
528
|
-
## Database
|
|
529
|
-
|
|
530
|
-
Schema changes are files: `migrations/0001_init.sql`, `migrations/0002_orders.sql` in the
|
|
531
|
-
project root, applied in filename order by `xflow db migrate` from any folder of the project.
|
|
532
|
-
`xflow db status` shows what is applied and what waits. Never edit an applied file, write a new
|
|
533
|
-
migration instead. Every project has exactly one database of its own, shared by all its apps and
|
|
534
|
-
functions.
|
|
535
|
-
|
|
536
|
-
The browser never reaches the database directly. The app reads and writes through a cloud
|
|
537
|
-
function, and inside the handler the connection string is already there:
|
|
538
|
-
|
|
539
|
-
```js
|
|
540
|
-
const { Client } = require('pg')
|
|
541
|
-
const db = new Client({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
|
|
542
|
-
```
|
|
543
|
-
|
|
544
|
-
The platform passes `DATABASE_URL` only to functions that mention it and sets the project schema
|
|
545
|
-
on every connection, so plain table names (`select * from tasks`) hit your project.
|
|
546
|
-
|
|
547
|
-
`migrations/` says what you did; `xflow db schema [table]` says what is in the database now, and
|
|
548
|
-
`xflow db query 'select ...'` reads it inside a READ ONLY transaction (as many rows as its
|
|
549
|
-
own `limit` asks, 50 without one, 300 at most; `--json` prints long values whole). Single quotes hold in PowerShell, bash
|
|
550
|
-
and zsh, cmd.exe wants double ones; a query with quotes of its own goes in a `.sql` file outside
|
|
551
|
-
the project, `xflow db query ../q.sql`.

# XFlow
|
|
7
|
+
|
|
8
|
+
Hosting for web apps. The code lives in an ordinary repository on the developer machine, the
|
|
9
|
+
CLI sends the sources, the platform builds them in a clean sandbox, serves each app at its own
|
|
10
|
+
address and runs its backend: one database and cloud functions per project.
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
No `xflow.json` in the folder or above it means it is not bound to a project yet:
|
|
13
|
+
`xflow projects list` names the projects of the organization with their ids, `xflow link <id>`
|
|
14
|
+
binds the folder to one (an empty folder gets the whole project), and `xflow init` starts a new
|
|
15
|
+
project with its first app.
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
## First rule
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
Check commands and flags against `xflow help` and `xflow help <command>`, not against
|
|
20
|
+
memory. If a command is not in the help output, it does not exist: guessing flags is
|
|
21
|
+
pointless. The CLI prints a hint with almost every error, read it in full, it usually
|
|
22
|
+
contains the fix.
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
The public documentation, in Russian, goes deeper than this file: its table of contents is
|
|
25
|
+
https://docs.getxflow.com/llms.txt, every page has a Markdown copy. Read the page you need
|
|
26
|
+
instead of guessing; give the person https://docs.getxflow.com when they ask how something works.
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
## Keeping these instructions current
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
These instructions ship with xflow CLI 1.3.0, so the copy you are reading can be older than
|
|
31
|
+
the CLI answering your commands.
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
When the CLI says this file does not match it, run `xflow skills --refresh` and then **read
|
|
34
|
+
again the file it names**: refreshing only writes to disk, and until you re-read it you are
|
|
35
|
+
still working from the old rules. Do it yourself, no need to ask.
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Updating the CLI is not yours. `xflow update` replaces a program shared by every project on
|
|
38
|
+
the machine: offer the update in your summary. The exception is a platform refusing the CLI as too old (`outdated_cli`):
|
|
39
|
+
nothing runs until it is updated, so say what you are doing and run it.
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
## Hard rules
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
These mistakes cost the most because nothing fails at the moment they are made, or
|
|
44
|
+
the error points away from the cause. The sections below carry the details.
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
1. Read environment variables literally: `process.env.API_KEY`. Destructuring
|
|
47
|
+
(`const { API_KEY } = process.env`), a name built from an expression, `?.` and
|
|
48
|
+
spreading the environment all read as no mention of the variable at all. The
|
|
49
|
+
build rejects them, and `xflow env check` names them before that.
|
|
50
|
+
2. A value written with `xflow env set` reaches the functions on the next
|
|
51
|
+
`xflow deploy functions`, not at the moment it is written.
|
|
52
|
+
3. Never delete a `functions/<name>/` directory unless the user asked for that
|
|
53
|
+
function to go. The next deploy removes it from the cloud together with its keys and
|
|
54
|
+
schedules, and that is final.
|
|
55
|
+
4. A function an app calls needs that app in its `callers` in the root
|
|
56
|
+
`xflow.json`. Without it the call answers 404 `not_bound`, and a new function is not
|
|
57
|
+
reachable from anywhere.
|
|
58
|
+
5. Every function called by an app open to anyone can be called by
|
|
59
|
+
anybody on the internet with curl. Write it as such, see **Your function is open to the
|
|
60
|
+
whole internet**.
|
|
61
|
+
6. An already applied migration is never re-run, and `xflow db migrate` refuses a
|
|
62
|
+
name it already holds with different content. A schema change is always a new file.
|
|
63
|
+
7. When `xflow db migrate` answers `db_write_locked`, or an INSERT or CREATE TABLE in a
|
|
64
|
+
function fails with `permission denied` (42501), the database is over its plan size and
|
|
65
|
+
Postgres itself refuses. Reads, updates and deletes keep working, so the fix is deleting data
|
|
66
|
+
(`xflow db exec` or a migration), never a rewrite of the SQL. Write comes back within the hour. The limit
|
|
67
|
+
is shared by the organization: `xflow db list` shows the size of each project database.
|
|
68
|
+
8. Heavy media does not travel with the sources. Photos, video and PDFs go up with
|
|
69
|
+
`xflow storage push`, not into the repository: the archive is capped at 10 MB.
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
## Projects and apps
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
- A project is a box: one database with its migrations, the cloud functions, secrets and
|
|
74
|
+
members. It has no code of its own.
|
|
75
|
+
- An app is code the platform builds and serves at `https://<id>--<org>.xflowpage.ru`
|
|
76
|
+
(`<id>` is six random characters the platform gives the app, `<org>` the name of the
|
|
77
|
+
organization): its own versions, its own access level. A project holds one or more apps,
|
|
78
|
+
and all of them use the same database and the same functions.
|
|
79
|
+
- A project without apps is fine (`xflow init --no-app`): its functions are workflows, woken
|
|
80
|
+
by a schedule, by an outside service holding a key, or by `xflow functions invoke`.
|
|
81
|
+
- `xflow projects get` shows the apps with their folders, addresses and access levels, and
|
|
82
|
+
who may call each function.
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
## Folder layout
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
One folder per project, apps in subfolders:
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
clinic/
|
|
89
|
+
xflow.json projectId, and who may call each function
|
|
90
|
+
package.json dependencies of the functions
|
|
91
|
+
functions/<name>/index.ts cloud functions, shared by every app
|
|
92
|
+
migrations/0001_init.sql the one database of the project
|
|
93
|
+
apps/
|
|
94
|
+
priem/ an app: a Vite project with its own xflow.json (appId, build)
|
|
95
|
+
zapis/
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
- Two kinds of history: the project root (functions, migrations, `xflow.json`) is one, each
|
|
98
|
+
app is another. `apps/**` never travels with the root, the root never travels with an app.
|
|
99
|
+
- An app sees only its own folder when it is built. What two apps share is data and logic,
|
|
100
|
+
and that lives in functions. Functions never go inside an app folder: the build refuses
|
|
101
|
+
`functions/` there (`functions-in-app`).
|
|
102
|
+
- `xflow apps add <folder>` creates an app, lays the template into `apps/<folder>` and prints
|
|
103
|
+
its address. Never create an app folder by hand: without its `appId` it is nobody's.
|
|
104
|
+
`--color <color>` sets the tile the user sees in the project; a wrong one is answered with
|
|
105
|
+
the list of colors. Its icon and a later color change belong to the person in the web
|
|
106
|
+
interface.
|
|
107
|
+
- Rename an app folder freely: the app is its `appId`.
|
|
108
|
+
- Commands follow the folder you stand in: inside `apps/zapis` they mean that app, anywhere
|
|
109
|
+
else in the project they mean the project. `--project <id>` and `--app <id>` name them
|
|
110
|
+
without a folder.
|
|
111
|
+
- Neither `xflow.json` is edited by hand except `functions.<name>.callers` in the root one.
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
## Plan limits
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
The organization runs on a plan with limits: apps, functions, pages, active connections,
|
|
116
|
+
people in the organization, database and file storage, function minutes, builds per month and at once, schedules
|
|
117
|
+
(one count for all projects of the organization) and how often they may run, and which access levels an app may have. Most are finite; a plan
|
|
118
|
+
may leave one uncapped, and then `whoami` prints `no limit` instead of a ceiling.
|
|
119
|
+
`xflow whoami` prints every one of them next to what is used, and the rights of your own key
|
|
120
|
+
with them: destroying data (a migration or `db exec`), deleting files from storage, moving a database and
|
|
121
|
+
linking a connected account each need a right. Reading it before a long task turns a refusal
|
|
122
|
+
halfway through the work into a sentence said before it starts.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
- Connections are counted while active: switching an unused one off frees the seat without
|
|
125
|
+
deleting it.
|
|
126
|
+
- Function minutes are shared by the whole organization: every app, page and schedule spends
|
|
127
|
+
them. When they run out, every function of the organization stops (`functions_stopped`).
|
|
128
|
+
- An unpaid plan stops the functions at once, and five days later freezes the organization:
|
|
129
|
+
every command except `xflow whoami` answers `subscription_blocked`,
|
|
130
|
+
apps and pages show a "suspended" page. Nothing is deleted and no code fixes it: tell the
|
|
131
|
+
person that the owner pays the invoice in the organization settings, section «Тариф» (Plan).
|
|
132
|
+
- The cap on how long one function call may run is written into the function when it is
|
|
133
|
+
deployed, so a plan change reaches the cloud only with the next `xflow deploy functions` of
|
|
134
|
+
each project, in both directions.
|
|
135
|
+
- One function runs at most a plan-set number of calls at once: Free 5, Start 15, Business 35
|
|
136
|
+
per cloud zone (the cloud has three, the spread is not promised). A call over it gets 429 at
|
|
137
|
+
once: fan out in batches of that size, never all items of a list in parallel.
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
A limit refusal is not a bad request. The CLI prints a line starting with `Plan limit:`, the
|
|
140
|
+
API answers `code: "forbidden"` with a `limit` object (`code`, `used`, `limit`). Retrying, renaming or rewriting the code changes nothing: tell the user
|
|
141
|
+
what ran out and stop, only the owner lifts it. A schedule refused for running too often is one
|
|
142
|
+
of these too, not a bad cron string: the minimum interval comes from the plan, never guess it.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
## Deploying
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
1. Change the code. In an app folder `npm run typecheck` is a two-second check, `npm run build`
|
|
147
|
+
a fast way to see build errors early: the platform builds again in its own sandbox.
|
|
148
|
+
2. `xflow deploy functions -m "what changed"` sends the project root, checks it, applies the
|
|
149
|
+
new migrations, ships the functions and their callers. A migration that fails or would
|
|
150
|
+
destroy data stops it before any function ships: settle it with `xflow db migrate`
|
|
151
|
+
(`--allow-destructive`), then deploy again. `xflow db migrate` alone changes the schema
|
|
152
|
+
without shipping code. Every app runs the new code the moment it finishes: there is
|
|
153
|
+
no staging and no publish step for server code. Say so to the user.
|
|
154
|
+
3. `xflow deploy apps/zapis -m "what changed"` sends and builds one app; inside `apps/zapis` a
|
|
155
|
+
plain `xflow deploy` does the same. In the root a plain `xflow deploy` refuses and names the
|
|
156
|
+
targets. The comment is required: one short line in the language the user speaks.
|
|
157
|
+
4. `xflow publish` in the app folder (or with `--app <id>`) shows that build to visitors.
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
A change that touches data and screens goes in this order: the functions (with the migration),
|
|
160
|
+
then every app that shows it. `xflow deploy apps/...` warns when the root holds changes nobody
|
|
161
|
+
deployed.
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
- A build of an app is not shown to visitors until `xflow publish`. Publishing points the
|
|
164
|
+
address at a build and takes a second; `xflow publish <number>` (or `xflow rollback <number>`)
|
|
165
|
+
points it at an older kept build, and that is the rollback. The very first build of a new
|
|
166
|
+
app publishes itself.
|
|
167
|
+
- Only the app moves on publish and rollback. Functions come back with
|
|
168
|
+
`xflow deploy functions --revision N -m "why"` (`xflow deployments functions` lists the revisions);
|
|
169
|
+
`--project <id>` names the project without a folder.
|
|
170
|
+
- Files of the **three latest successful builds** of each app are kept, plus the live one;
|
|
171
|
+
`xflow deployments` marks the rest `no pages`. The history keeps 30 builds, a revision stays
|
|
172
|
+
while its build is in it or it is among the 10 latest. Keep anything you must not lose in
|
|
173
|
+
your own git repository.
|
|
174
|
+
- Give a person the app address the CLI printed, or the project page it printed. Name builds
|
|
175
|
+
by their number.
|
|
176
|
+
- `xflow status` says how the local copies differ from the server. A deploy rejected before
|
|
177
|
+
the build starts means the server holds a revision this folder has never seen: fetch it next
|
|
178
|
+
to yours (`xflow pull --into ./server-copy`), merge in git, deploy again. `--force` sends this
|
|
179
|
+
folder over it anyway; the overwritten revision is kept while it is among the last 10, and the
|
|
180
|
+
deploy prints the `xflow pull --revision <N>` line that brings it back. A folder with no record of the server revision (a fresh clone, a CI checkout) is
|
|
181
|
+
not rejected: its first deploy goes on top and says so.
|
|
182
|
+
- A deploy that would delete functions gone from the sources refuses until somebody agrees;
|
|
183
|
+
`--allow-removals` is the only way past it without a terminal. Reaching for it to get a
|
|
184
|
+
build running means you deleted something the user never asked you to: put the directories
|
|
185
|
+
back. If the removal is intended, name the functions and let the user answer.
|
|
186
|
+
|
|
187
|
+
## Build gate
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
Before the sandbox starts, the platform checks the sources. Everything below blocks the build,
|
|
190
|
+
all violations come back together with files and lines, and a rejected attempt costs nothing.
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
An app:
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
- `package.json` with the build script named in its `xflow.json` (`npm run build` by default),
|
|
195
|
+
a `vite.config.*` and `vite` in dependencies. No server frameworks: `next`, `nuxt`, Remix,
|
|
196
|
+
`@sveltejs/kit`, `astro`.
|
|
197
|
+
- `index.html` in the app root with `id="root"` and the script that loads `src/main.tsx`
|
|
198
|
+
(`.ts`, `.jsx`, `.js` count too). Code under `src/`; root `app/`, `pages/`, `next/` are rejected.
|
|
199
|
+
- Keep `base` in `vite.config.js` as the template has it: the platform serves each build from
|
|
200
|
+
`/_b/<key>/`, and a build whose `index.html` points elsewhere is refused.
|
|
201
|
+
- The built app at most 15 MB unpacked, the sources at most 10 MB.
|
|
202
|
+
- File names in latin letters, digits, spaces and `. - _ ~` only: `логотип.png` breaks the build.
|
|
203
|
+
- Call functions through `xflow.functions.invoke`, never a hardcoded function address.
|
|
204
|
+
- No keys or tokens in the sources, no server modules (`fs`, `express`, `http`, `child_process`).
|
|
205
|
+
- Outside `src/components/ui` and `src/components/blocks`: no `alert()`, `confirm()`,
|
|
206
|
+
`prompt()` (use Dialog and Toast), no `console.log` (visitors read the console;
|
|
207
|
+
only crashes and 5xx reach the logs).
|
|
208
|
+
- A library that needs a provider (`@tanstack/react-query`, `react-redux`, `sonner`,
|
|
209
|
+
`react-hot-toast`, `react-dnd`) must have it mounted. A missing provider builds fine and
|
|
210
|
+
gives visitors a white screen.
|
|
211
|
+
- The platform files stay byte for byte as they arrived: `src/lib/platform-auth.ts`,
|
|
212
|
+
`src/contexts/platform-auth-context.tsx`, `src/hooks/use-platform-auth.ts`,
|
|
213
|
+
`src/utils/error-logger.ts`, `src/lib/xflow.ts`. The code keeps calling `initPlatformAuth()`
|
|
214
|
+
and `initErrorLogger()` and importing `index.css`, and the Tailwind
|
|
215
|
+
`content` globs keep covering `src/**`. A rejection names the revision to take the original
|
|
216
|
+
from: `xflow pull --revision N --into ./original`, then copy the file back.
|
|
217
|
+
|
|
218
|
+
The project root: function names are lowercase latin letters, digits and hyphens, up to 41
|
|
219
|
+
characters (`send-mail`, not `sendMail`); every name under `functions` in `xflow.json` has its
|
|
220
|
+
`functions/<name>/index.ts`; every caller is an app folder of this project (`unknown-caller`).
|
|
221
|
+
|
|
222
|
+
Passes with a line `Unfinished:` instead of blocking: the template's page title, no
|
|
223
|
+
`<link rel="icon">` in `index.html`, an `exports.access` left in a function (it does nothing).
|
|
224
|
+
Fix the first two before you tell the person the app is done.
|
|
225
|
+
|
|
226
|
+
## The template is a starter kit
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
- `src/components/ui` and `src/components/blocks` are a starting set: change them, restyle them
|
|
229
|
+
or delete what you do not use. Any colors, your own color scheme, inline styles, a single
|
|
230
|
+
theme without dark mode: all allowed.
|
|
231
|
+
- The template looks like the xflow interface: warm grays, hairline controls (`ctl-solid`,
|
|
232
|
+
`ctl-raised`, `ctl-inset`, `ctl-select`), segments (`seg-track`, `seg-on`) and surfaces
|
|
233
|
+
(`surface-raised`, `surface-pop`, `surface-modal`) in `src/index.css`.
|
|
234
|
+
- While any template component is left, the theme token names in `:root` of `src/index.css`
|
|
235
|
+
and their `hsl(var(--name))` mapping in the Tailwind config stay: those components paint with
|
|
236
|
+
them. Values change freely; they are HSL components (`216 95% 40%`), not `#hex`. Your own
|
|
237
|
+
colors go under new names.
|
|
238
|
+
- Images and other assets: import them from `src/` (`import logo from './assets/logo.png'`)
|
|
239
|
+
so the build puts them next to the code. An absolute path into `public/` (`/logo.png`) goes
|
|
240
|
+
through the access check of the app and fails inside the xflow frame in Safari.
|
|
241
|
+
|
|
242
|
+
## Who opens an app
|
|
243
|
+
|
|
244
|
+
A person sets this in the web interface; you cannot, and you should not ask for a way around.
|
|
245
|
+
|
|
246
|
+
| Level | Who gets in |
|
|
247
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
248
|
+
| Project members | people who have access to the project |
|
|
249
|
+
| Anyone with the link | anybody, no sign-in at all |
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
- The plan decides which levels exist: on Free an app opens only inside xflow, Start adds the
|
|
252
|
+
direct address and "Anyone with the link".
|
|
253
|
+
- At the closed level the platform signs people in, and a function receives the person in
|
|
254
|
+
`event.xflow.user` (`id`, `role` in the organization, `name`, `access` to the project).
|
|
255
|
+
Keep roles inside the app (doctor, receptionist) in your own table keyed by `user.id`.
|
|
256
|
+
- People outside the organization (patients, pickers, clients) are not xflow accounts: make the
|
|
257
|
+
app "Anyone with the link" and give it its own sign-in, see below.
|
|
258
|
+
- At "Anyone with the link" the platform signs nobody in: `event.xflow.user` is null for
|
|
259
|
+
visitors. Accounts, sign-in and who sees which rows are the code of your app, see below.
|
|
260
|
+
- `usePlatformAuth()` in the frontend knows the person only inside the xflow frame, and even
|
|
261
|
+
there it is a hint for drawing the interface, edited from the console by anyone. On the
|
|
262
|
+
direct address it answers `anonymous`. Guard data in the function, by `event.xflow`.
|
|
263
|
+
|
|
264
|
+
## Which functions an app may call
|
|
265
|
+
|
|
266
|
+
The root `xflow.json` names the callers of each function:
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
{
|
|
269
|
+
"projectId": "…",
|
|
270
|
+
"functions": {
|
|
271
|
+
"list-slots": { "callers": ["zapis", "priem"] },
|
|
272
|
+
"book-slot": { "callers": ["zapis"] }
|
|
273
|
+
}
|
|
274
|
+
}
|
|
275
|
+
|
|
276
|
+
- A caller is an app folder of this project (`apps/zapis` is `"zapis"`); a page is never
|
|
277
|
+
a caller. A function without callers is left out of `functions` or given `"callers": []`,
|
|
278
|
+
the same thing.
|
|
279
|
+
- A function nobody lists has no callers: no app reaches it. That is a workflow,
|
|
280
|
+
run by a schedule, a key or `xflow functions invoke`.
|
|
281
|
+
- Callers ship with `xflow deploy functions` and come back with its `--revision N`.
|
|
282
|
+
- The app calls `xflow.functions.invoke('book-slot', { body })` from `src/lib/xflow.ts`. The call
|
|
283
|
+
goes to `/_fn/book-slot` on the app's own address: no function addresses, tokens or keys in
|
|
284
|
+
the bundle, nothing to rebuild when a function changes.
|
|
285
|
+
- A refusal throws `XFlowError` with `status` and `code`: `not_bound` (404, add the caller and
|
|
286
|
+
deploy functions), `not_found` (404, the function is not deployed), `login_required` and
|
|
287
|
+
`invalid_credential` (401, the visitor has to sign in again), `no_access`, `role_too_low`,
|
|
288
|
+
`functions_stopped` (403, minutes ran out or the plan is unpaid: a person settles it),
|
|
289
|
+
`rate_limited` (429), `unavailable` (503, retry later). Branch on `code`, never on the message.
|
|
290
|
+
|
|
291
|
+
## Your function is open to the whole internet
|
|
292
|
+
|
|
293
|
+
A function is open when an app at "Anyone with the link" is among its callers. `xflow deploy functions` says so in a line of its own, `xflow functions list`
|
|
294
|
+
prints `open`, the web interface marks it.
|
|
295
|
+
|
|
296
|
+
Open means anybody can call it with curl, without your app: the browser is not a gate.
|
|
297
|
+
Hiding the address, checking `Origin` or `Referer`, a token baked into the bundle: all of it is
|
|
298
|
+
readable or forgeable and protects nothing. Write every open function as if the request came
|
|
299
|
+
from a stranger, because it may:
|
|
300
|
+
|
|
301
|
+
- Check every input: types, lengths, allowed values; refuse fields you do not expect. Put input
|
|
302
|
+
into SQL as parameters only (`$1`), never into the text.
|
|
303
|
+
- Return only what this caller needs: no `select *` into a response, no rows of other people,
|
|
304
|
+
no internal fields, no stack traces.
|
|
305
|
+
- Make writes safe to repeat: take a request id from the client and put a unique index on it,
|
|
306
|
+
so a retry or a replay changes nothing.
|
|
307
|
+
- Deduplicate and limit per visitor where it costs: `event.xflow.ip` is the visitor's address,
|
|
308
|
+
set by the platform proxy and not by the caller. The proxy caps requests per address; the
|
|
309
|
+
organization pays for every minute a function runs.
|
|
310
|
+
- A form open to strangers needs a captcha: Cloudflare Turnstile, with the token checked in the
|
|
311
|
+
function against `https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify` and the secret
|
|
312
|
+
from `xflow env set`. The site key is public and stays in the source. A check in the browser
|
|
313
|
+
checks nothing.
|
|
314
|
+
- `minRole` on an open function refuses every anonymous visitor (`login_required`): use it only
|
|
315
|
+
where members call.
|
|
316
|
+
|
|
317
|
+
## Sign-in in a public app
|
|
318
|
+
|
|
319
|
+
At the closed levels do none of this: the platform already knows the person.
|
|
320
|
+
|
|
321
|
+
- Passwords: store only a hash, `crypto.scrypt` from Node with a random salt per user, compare
|
|
322
|
+
with `crypto.timingSafeEqual`. Never log a password, never return it, never keep it in the
|
|
323
|
+
browser.
|
|
324
|
+
- Session: after sign-in the function makes a random token (`crypto.randomBytes(32)`), stores
|
|
325
|
+
its SHA-256 and an expiry in a table and returns the token in the response body. The app keeps
|
|
326
|
+
it in `localStorage` and sends it on every call in the `X-Session` header. Not a cookie: Cloud
|
|
327
|
+
Functions drop `Cookie` and `Set-Cookie` both ways. `localStorage` belongs to one address, a
|
|
328
|
+
neighbouring `*.xflowpage.ru` site does not read it.
|
|
329
|
+
- Any script on the page reads that token, so: an expiry of hours that each call extends,
|
|
330
|
+
sign-out and a password change delete the session rows, no user text rendered as HTML
|
|
331
|
+
(`dangerouslySetInnerHTML`), no scripts loaded from outside the build.
|
|
332
|
+
- Never put the token into an address (`?session=`, a link): it stays in history and logs. A file
|
|
333
|
+
the function makes for this person is fetched with the header and opened as a `blob:` URL.
|
|
334
|
+
- Not the `Authorization` header: `/_fn` replaces it with the platform's own. Nor headers named
|
|
335
|
+
`X-Xflow-*`, `X-Project-Pass`, `X-Server-Key`, `X-Function-Key`: the platform strips them.
|
|
336
|
+
- Every function that serves a signed-in visitor reads `X-Session` from `event.headers` (match
|
|
337
|
+
the name in any case), finds the session and filters rows by that user in SQL. A hidden button
|
|
338
|
+
is not access control.
|
|
339
|
+
- Count failed sign-ins per email and per `event.xflow.ip` in a table and slow them down.
|
|
340
|
+
- Never in the frontend: keys, secrets, the list of users, hashes, a role check that is the only
|
|
341
|
+
guard.
|
|
342
|
+
- The platform sends no email for your app: confirmation and reset letters need a mail provider
|
|
343
|
+
whose key goes into `xflow env set`.
|
|
344
|
+
- `xflow dev` does not carry `X-Session` and calls functions as you (a member).
|
|
345
|
+
Try the sign-in on the app address.
|
|
346
|
+
|
|
347
|
+
## Page or app
|
|
348
|
+
|
|
349
|
+
- A page is finished static files at `https://<name>.xflowpage.ru`: public, live the moment it
|
|
350
|
+
is uploaded, no build, no publish step, no database. A landing page, a presentation, an invoice.
|
|
351
|
+
- An app is source the platform builds: versions and publish, access levels, a database through
|
|
352
|
+
functions. Anything people sign in to, enter data into or come back to.
|
|
353
|
+
- Keep the sources of a page outside the project folder, or list them in `.xflowignore`: the
|
|
354
|
+
root travels with `deploy functions`.
|
|
355
|
+
- A page has no backend. A form or a lookup for strangers is an app at "Anyone with the link"
|
|
356
|
+
(a paid plan): the platform checks every call to its functions.
|
|
357
|
+
- A function key on a page is allowed, and it opens that function to every visitor: an HTML
|
|
358
|
+
form posts to `https://fn.xflowpage.ru/<projectId>/<name>?key=...`, fetch cannot read the
|
|
359
|
+
answer (no CORS). Nothing guards it but the function's own checks: say so to the user.
|
|
360
|
+
|
|
361
|
+
## Cloud functions
|
|
362
|
+
|
|
363
|
+
`functions/<name>/index.ts` in the project root exports `handler` (`index.js` and `index.mjs`
|
|
364
|
+
are read too), `export const handler` and `exports.handler` both work. The request arrives as
|
|
365
|
+
`event.httpMethod`, `event.headers`, `event.queryStringParameters` and `event.body`, a string
|
|
366
|
+
(`JSON.parse` it; `event.isBase64Encoded` marks a binary body). The handler returns
|
|
367
|
+
`{ statusCode, body }` where `body` is a JSON string, and may add `headers`.
|
|
368
|
+
`xflow functions list` shows status, callers, `open`, keys, last call and last error.
|
|
369
|
+
|
|
370
|
+
- Dependencies (`pg`, a mail client) go into the root `package.json`; the platform installs them
|
|
371
|
+
on every deploy, and a lock file next to it makes that exact.
|
|
372
|
+
- Code shared by functions lives in a root folder such as `lib/`, imported by relative path: each
|
|
373
|
+
function is bundled with what it imports. A folder in `functions/` without `index.*` is not a
|
|
374
|
+
function. Read `process.env` in `functions/<name>/` itself: `xflow env check` looks only there.
|
|
375
|
+
|
|
376
|
+
Keep one shape inside that string across the project: `{ success: true, data }` when it worked,
|
|
377
|
+
`{ success: false, error: { message, code } }` when it did not. Branch the frontend on
|
|
378
|
+
`error.code`, never on `error.message`.
|
|
379
|
+
|
|
380
|
+
A function whose code and variables did not change is not shipped again, and one that fails to
|
|
381
|
+
ship fails the whole deploy.
|
|
382
|
+
|
|
383
|
+
Debugging a deployed function is two commands: `xflow functions invoke <name>` calls it as you,
|
|
384
|
+
through the platform, and prints the body alone, ready for a pipe (`--data '{"a":1}'`, `--data-file
|
|
385
|
+
body.json`, `--method GET`; 4xx and 5xx exit non-zero; Windows PowerShell 5.1 prepends a BOM when
|
|
386
|
+
piping to another program, so read it with `ConvertFrom-Json` or Python's `utf-8-sig`); `xflow functions logs <name>` shows
|
|
387
|
+
the crashes and 5xx answers with stacks and console output, the latest 10 (`--limit N` for more).
|
|
388
|
+
Only failed calls are logged. Empty output does not clear a function that fails at module start,
|
|
389
|
+
runs over its time cap or out of memory: those never reach the logs, `invoke` shows them.
|
|
390
|
+
|
|
391
|
+
The body has to be JSON and the CLI checks it before calling. In PowerShell the double quotes
|
|
392
|
+
never reach the CLI (`--data '{"a":1}'` arrives as `{a:1}`): escape them (`--data '{\"a\":1}'`)
|
|
393
|
+
or pass a file. It bites `--payload` of a schedule the same way. A command that worked writes
|
|
394
|
+
nothing to stderr, so a red line there means it really failed.
|
|
395
|
+
|
|
396
|
+
### Who is calling
|
|
397
|
+
|
|
398
|
+
The platform checks every call before your code runs and hands the answer over in `event.xflow`:
|
|
399
|
+
|
|
400
|
+
```js
|
|
401
|
+
exports.handler = async (event) => {
|
|
402
|
+
const { caller, slug, user, ip } = event.xflow
|
|
403
|
+
// caller: 'app' (an app of this project), 'service' (another function of this
|
|
404
|
+
// project), 'external' (an outside service with a key), 'schedule',
|
|
405
|
+
// 'platform' (a person through xflow functions invoke or the web interface)
|
|
406
|
+
// slug: the address name of the calling app (<id>--<org>), null otherwise
|
|
407
|
+
// user: { id, role, name, access } of a signed-in person, null for anonymous
|
|
408
|
+
// visitors and keys. access: 'view' | 'edit' on this project
|
|
409
|
+
// ip: the visitor's address, null for a schedule
|
|
410
|
+
}
|
|
411
|
+
```
|
|
412
|
+
|
|
413
|
+
Never trust an identity that arrives in the body or in a header of the request: the page lives
|
|
414
|
+
on someone else's computer. `event.xflow` is the only identity the platform stands behind.
|
|
415
|
+
|
|
416
|
+
Project access is separate from the role: a person who only views the project (`access:
|
|
417
|
+
'view'`) still reaches every function. A function that writes refuses them:
|
|
418
|
+
|
|
419
|
+
```js
|
|
420
|
+
if (event.xflow.user && event.xflow.user.access !== 'edit') {
|
|
421
|
+
return { statusCode: 403, body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Read-only access' }) }
|
|
422
|
+
}
|
|
423
|
+
```
|
|
424
|
+
|
|
425
|
+
To remember who did something, store `user.id` and `user.name` in the row: the name is never
|
|
426
|
+
empty, and the app has no other way to look up other people.
|
|
427
|
+
|
|
428
|
+
A function that changes data should say who may call it instead of checking the role by hand:
|
|
429
|
+
|
|
430
|
+
```js
|
|
431
|
+
exports.minRole = 'developer' // 'member' | 'developer' | 'owner'
|
|
432
|
+
```
|
|
433
|
+
|
|
434
|
+
The platform refuses anything below that role before your code runs; it applies to people
|
|
435
|
+
(apps, `functions invoke`), not to keys and schedules. `member` is the people who only
|
|
436
|
+
use the apps (clinic employees, managers), `developer` and `owner` build them. In the web
|
|
437
|
+
interface these roles are called «Просмотр» (`member`), «Редактор» (`developer`) and «Админ»
|
|
438
|
+
(`owner`). Without the line
|
|
439
|
+
every member of the project can call the function. Losing access
|
|
440
|
+
closes the function within a minute.
|
|
441
|
+
|
|
442
|
+
- Another function of the project: `fetch(`${process.env.XFLOW_FN_URL}/<name>`, { headers:
|
|
443
|
+
{ 'X-Server-Key': process.env.XFLOW_SERVER_KEY } })`. The key opens the functions of its own
|
|
444
|
+
project only, whatever their callers.
|
|
445
|
+
- An outside service (a payment webhook, a bot, a CRM) calls
|
|
446
|
+
`https://fn.xflowpage.ru/<projectId>/<name>` (`xflow functions list` prints it) with a key of
|
|
447
|
+
that function in `X-Function-Key` or `?key=`. Keys are issued by a person on the function's
|
|
448
|
+
screen in the web interface, never by you: ask the user. A function holds at most two keys,
|
|
449
|
+
the second one to replace the first without downtime.
|
|
450
|
+
- `exports.access` does nothing any more: who may call is `callers`.
|
|
451
|
+
|
|
452
|
+
## Secrets and connected accounts
|
|
453
|
+
|
|
454
|
+
Keys and passwords live on the platform, not in the repository: `xflow env set SMTP_PASSWORD=…`
|
|
455
|
+
writes one, `xflow env` lists the names, `xflow env check` names the variables your functions
|
|
456
|
+
read but the platform does not have. Values never come back out: the only place they exist is
|
|
457
|
+
inside the running function. Apps get no variables at all.
|
|
458
|
+
|
|
459
|
+
A variable goes to the whole organization unless you say otherwise: `--scope project` keeps it
|
|
460
|
+
to this project alone, `--scope organization` is the default, and a third word is refused.
|
|
461
|
+
Pick the narrow one for anything that belongs to one project. These commands see only what
|
|
462
|
+
this project can see, so `env rm` reports a variable of another project missing even though
|
|
463
|
+
names are unique within the organization.
|
|
464
|
+
|
|
465
|
+
`DATABASE_URL` and every name starting with `XFLOW` are filled in by the platform: writing them
|
|
466
|
+
is refused.
|
|
467
|
+
|
|
468
|
+
Some variables come from a connected account instead of from you. Credentials of an account
|
|
469
|
+
linked to the project show up in `xflow env` marked read-only, under a prefix chosen at link
|
|
470
|
+
time (`YANDEX_DIRECT_TOKEN`, `YANDEX_DIRECT_CLIENT_LOGIN`): read them like any other variable.
|
|
471
|
+
If calls to that service start failing on authorisation, `xflow status` says whether the token
|
|
472
|
+
is merely expiring (any deploy of the functions renews it) or the account was disconnected on
|
|
473
|
+
the provider's side, which only a human can reconnect.
|
|
474
|
+
|
|
475
|
+
`xflow connections` lists those accounts: the ones linked to this project, with the alias and
|
|
476
|
+
the state of the access, and the ones the organization has but this project does not use yet,
|
|
477
|
+
marked `available, not linked`. Check it before telling anyone a service is unavailable.
|
|
478
|
+
|
|
479
|
+
`xflow connections link "Яндекс Метрика" --as YANDEX_METRIKA` is that link and
|
|
480
|
+
`xflow connections unlink YANDEX_METRIKA` undoes it; `xflow help connections` has the naming
|
|
481
|
+
rules. In the project folder unlink refuses while a function still reads one of the variables,
|
|
482
|
+
naming those functions, so read that list before reaching for `--yes`.
|
|
483
|
+
|
|
484
|
+
Linking needs the `connections:link` right on the key, and only accounts granted to the owner
|
|
485
|
+
of the key personally can be linked at all. A key cannot grant it to itself: ask the person.
|
|
486
|
+
Connecting a new account and switching one off stay with a person too.
|
|
487
|
+
|
|
488
|
+
### Asking an API what it returns
|
|
489
|
+
|
|
490
|
+
```
|
|
491
|
+
xflow connections call WB /api/v1/supplier/stocks?dateFrom=2026-09-01
|
|
492
|
+
xflow connections call "Яндекс Метрика" /management/v1/counters
|
|
493
|
+
xflow connections call OZON /v1/product/list --method POST --data '{}' \
|
|
494
|
+
--header '{"Client-Id":"{CLIENT_ID}"}'
|
|
495
|
+
```
|
|
496
|
+
|
|
497
|
+
The platform attaches the credentials and makes the request itself: no deploy, and the key never
|
|
498
|
+
reaches you. A linked account is called by its alias, an `available, not linked` one by its
|
|
499
|
+
name: linking first is not needed to look. Calling is looking, not wiring: to use the account
|
|
500
|
+
in code, link it and deploy functions.
|
|
501
|
+
|
|
502
|
+
`{NAME}` in the path or in a header value is filled in from the fields of the connection. Take
|
|
503
|
+
the names from `xflow connections`, which prints them in braces: an invented name is left in the
|
|
504
|
+
text and the request goes out anyway, into somebody's live account. Ask for the shape, not the
|
|
505
|
+
volume: one day and `limit=1`; `--json | jq '.response.body | keys'` gives the field names
|
|
506
|
+
without the body entering your context. `POST` and `DELETE` change things in a live account and
|
|
507
|
+
nothing undoes that: ask the person first when the endpoint is not clearly a read.
|
|
508
|
+
|
|
509
|
+
## Schedules
|
|
510
|
+
|
|
511
|
+
`xflow schedules set report "0 3 ? * * *"` runs a function daily at 03:00. Six fields, UTC,
|
|
512
|
+
and exactly one of day-of-month / day-of-week must be `?`. A run reaches the handler as a POST
|
|
513
|
+
with `event.xflow.caller === 'schedule'`, and `--payload '{"mode":"full"}'` (or
|
|
514
|
+
`--payload-file body.json`) is its body. The function has to be deployed first.
|
|
515
|
+
A schedule is the function plus its cron: `set` with the same pair only changes the payload, a
|
|
516
|
+
new cron is one more schedule next to the old one. The plan caps the count for the whole
|
|
517
|
+
organization, so take the old one off with `xflow schedules rm report "<old cron>"`.
|
|
518
|
+
|
|
519
|
+
```
|
|
520
|
+
xflow env set SMTP_PASSWORD=... # secrets first: values ride the next deploy
|
|
521
|
+
# write functions/report/index.ts, reading process.env.SMTP_PASSWORD literally
|
|
522
|
+
xflow deploy functions -m "Nightly report"
|
|
523
|
+
xflow schedules set report "0 3 ? * * *" --payload '{"mode":"full"}'
|
|
524
|
+
xflow functions invoke report # run it once
|
|
525
|
+
xflow functions logs report # crashes of real runs
|
|
526
|
+
```
|
|
527
|
+
|
|
528
|
+
## Database
|
|
529
|
+
|
|
530
|
+
Schema changes are files: `migrations/0001_init.sql`, `migrations/0002_orders.sql` in the
|
|
531
|
+
project root, applied in filename order by `xflow db migrate` from any folder of the project.
|
|
532
|
+
`xflow db status` shows what is applied and what waits. Never edit an applied file, write a new
|
|
533
|
+
migration instead. Every project has exactly one database of its own, shared by all its apps and
|
|
534
|
+
functions.
|
|
535
|
+
|
|
536
|
+
The browser never reaches the database directly. The app reads and writes through a cloud
|
|
537
|
+
function, and inside the handler the connection string is already there:
|
|
538
|
+
|
|
539
|
+
```js
|
|
540
|
+
const { Client } = require('pg')
|
|
541
|
+
const db = new Client({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
|
|
542
|
+
```
|
|
543
|
+
|
|
544
|
+
The platform passes `DATABASE_URL` only to functions that mention it and sets the project schema
|
|
545
|
+
on every connection, so plain table names (`select * from tasks`) hit your project.
|
|
546
|
+
|
|
547
|
+
`migrations/` says what you did; `xflow db schema [table]` says what is in the database now, and
|
|
548
|
+
`xflow db query 'select ...'` reads it inside a READ ONLY transaction (as many rows as its
|
|
549
|
+
own `limit` asks, 50 without one, 300 at most; `--json` prints long values whole). Single quotes hold in PowerShell, bash
|
|
550
|
+
and zsh, cmd.exe wants double ones; a query with quotes of its own goes in a `.sql` file outside
|
|
551
|
+
the project, `xflow db query ../q.sql`.
|
|
552
|
+
|
|
553
|
+
A one-off data fix is `xflow db exec 'update ...'` (or `../fix.sql`), not a migration: one
|
|
554
|
+
INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE or MERGE, saved at once, never re-run, no trace in the migration history.
|
|
555
|
+
Schema changes are refused there. Deleting rows, or updating more than 100 in a table (cascades
|
|
556
|
+
and triggers count), asks for `--allow-destructive`, and deleting also for the right below.
|
|
557
|
+
There is no undo: read the rows with `db query` first.
|
|
558
|
+
|
|
559
|
+
The platform keeps no database history and no backups, so anything that destroys data
|
|
560
|
+
(`DROP TABLE`, `DROP COLUMN`, `TRUNCATE`, `DELETE`) needs both the `--allow-destructive` flag and
|
|
561
|
+
the right to destroy data on the key, which is off by default and only its owner turns on. It is
|
|
562
|
+
judged by the result, not the text: a migration that dropped or emptied a table, dropped a column
|
|
563
|
+
or deleted rows is rolled back, however the SQL was written. `BEGIN`/`COMMIT` in a migration are
|
|
564
|
+
refused: each one already runs in its own transaction. When the refusal is about the right, the flag changes nothing: say what
|
|
565
|
+
needs deleting and why, and let the person decide. With both in place the affected tables are
|
|
566
|
+
dumped first (up to 50 000 rows each) and kept for 7 days; getting a dump back is a request to
|
|
567
|
+
the person, no command does it. Check with `--dry-run`.
|
|
568
|
+
|
|
569
|
+
An organization can have own database servers. `xflow db list` names the server of each project
|
|
570
|
+
database (`platform` is the common one) and the own servers with the room used.
|
|
571
|
+
- A new project with its database on a chosen server: `xflow init --server <name>`.
|
|
572
|
+
- An existing one: `xflow db move --to <name> --yes`. Writes close while it
|
|
573
|
+
copies, usually a couple of minutes; the platform switches the functions itself. It needs the
|
|
574
|
+
right to move databases, off on the key by default: refused for the right, say what should move
|
|
575
|
+
where and why, and the person turns it on or moves it in the «Базы данных» (Databases) section.
|
|
576
|
+
- Buying, paying for and deleting servers are the person's, in the web interface.
|
|
577
|
+
|
|
578
|
+
Code stays the same on an own server: pass `DATABASE_URL` as is, without an `ssl` option. While
|
|
579
|
+
an own server is not running, migrations and queries say so and functions that use the database
|
|
580
|
+
time out: tell the person instead of retrying.
|
|
581
|
+
|
|
582
|
+
An own server comes tuned and guarded, so do not tune it from migrations:
|
|
583
|
+
- Installed: `pgcrypto`, `pg_trgm`, `unaccent`, `citext`, `btree_gin`, `btree_gist`,
|
|
584
|
+
`pg_stat_statements`. `gen_random_uuid()` is built in everywhere, `uuidv7()` on an own server.
|
|
585
|
+
Never `uuid-ossp`. Anything else (`postgis`, `pgvector`) is a request to the person.
|
|
586
|
+
- A statement is cut after 30 seconds, waiting for a lock after 3, a transaction left open after
|
|
587
|
+
30. A query that needs longer is a wrong query (a missing index, or a report that belongs in a
|
|
588
|
+
scheduled function writing a summary table). A scheduled job that genuinely needs more runs
|
|
589
|
+
`SET statement_timeout = '5min'` on its own connection. A database that used `citext` or
|
|
590
|
+
another extension type cannot move back to `platform`.
|
|
591
|
+
- A restart on a plan change takes about a minute. Create the `Client` inside the handler, or
|
|
592
|
+
keep a `Pool` at module level: a `Client` created at module level dies with the restart.
|
|
593
|
+
|
|
594
|
+
## File storage
|
|
595
|
+
|
|
596
|
+
**Static assets of an app** (product photos, video, PDFs, big artwork) you upload yourself:
|
|
597
|
+
|
|
598
|
+
```bash
|
|
599
|
+
xflow storage push ./media --to media # a folder, its structure kept
|
|
600
|
+
xflow storage ls # what is there, with addresses and sizes
|
|
601
|
+
```
|
|
602
|
+
|
|
603
|
+
`push` prints the address of every file (`/_files/<id>`) and skips what is already stored under
|
|
604
|
+
the same path and size; `--replace` overwrites a file whose size differs and keeps its address.
|
|
605
|
+
Use the address as is inside an app: the app's own host serves it to whoever may open the app,
|
|
606
|
+
including anonymous visitors of a public one. Icons, fonts and small artwork stay in the
|
|
607
|
+
repository.
|
|
608
|
+
|
|
609
|
+
Deleting needs a right of its own, off by default, so `xflow storage rm` may answer that the key
|
|
610
|
+
was not granted it. Ask the person and do not look for a way around: whatever the users of the
|
|
611
|
+
app uploaded lives in the same folders, and there is no undo. A folder is
|
|
612
|
+
`xflow storage rm --folder <path> --yes`.
|
|
613
|
+
|
|
614
|
+
**Files that users of the app upload** go through a cloud function of your own: it asks the
|
|
615
|
+
platform for a one-time link, the browser sends the bytes straight to storage, and a second call
|
|
616
|
+
records the file:
|
|
617
|
+
|
|
618
|
+
```js
|
|
619
|
+
const link = await fetch(`${process.env.XFLOW_API_URL}/api/storage/project/upload-url`, {
|
|
620
|
+
method: 'POST',
|
|
621
|
+
headers: {
|
|
622
|
+
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
|
|
623
|
+
'X-Server-Key': process.env.XFLOW_SERVER_KEY,
|
|
624
|
+
},
|
|
625
|
+
body: JSON.stringify({ fileName, fileSize, contentType, folderPath: 'invoices' }),
|
|
626
|
+
}).then((r) => r.json())
|
|
627
|
+
```
|
|
628
|
+
|
|
629
|
+
`confirm` takes the returned `s3Key` and answers with the file and its address; `delete` takes
|
|
630
|
+
that same `url`. No endpoint lists files back, so write the address into a table of your own in
|
|
631
|
+
the same call. What a visitor may do with files is decided inside that function; never send the
|
|
632
|
+
key to the frontend.
|
|
633
|
+
|
|
634
|
+
- A name already taken in that folder is refused before the link is issued; `overwrite: true`
|
|
635
|
+
replaces the bytes and keeps the address.
|
|
636
|
+
- 200 MB per file and the storage quota of the organization, checked again on `confirm`.
|
|
637
|
+
- Confirm only after the PUT has finished, and send on the PUT exactly the `Content-Type` you
|
|
638
|
+
named: the link is signed for it, a different or missing type gets 403.
|
|
639
|
+
- Assets only: pages, scripts and executables (`html`, `js`, `exe`, …) are refused with
|
|
640
|
+
`forbidden_type`.
|
|
641
|
+
|
|
642
|
+
A refusal comes back as `{ error, code }` (`invalid_name`, `file_too_large`, `quota_exceeded`,
|
|
643
|
+
`not_uploaded`, `duplicate_name`, `forbidden_type`, `not_found`, …): branch on `code`.
|
|
644
|
+
|
|
645
|
+
## Pages
|
|
646
|
+
|
|
647
|
+
A page is a public static site at `https://<name>.xflowpage.ru`, outside projects. Anyone with
|
|
648
|
+
the address opens it, without signing in.
|
|
649
|
+
|
|
650
|
+
- `xflow pages create "Price list" ./dist` makes a page with the built site on it and prints its
|
|
651
|
+
address: there are no empty pages. `--slug price-list` picks the name, otherwise it comes from
|
|
652
|
+
the title with a random tail.
|
|
653
|
+
- `xflow pages deploy <page> <folder|.zip|.html> -m "what changed"` uploads a new version.
|
|
654
|
+
- **Both are public the moment the command finishes**: no draft, no publish step.
|
|
655
|
+
- `xflow pages status <page>` lists the versions, `xflow pages rollback <page> <N>` puts one back
|
|
656
|
+
in seconds; the files of the last 5 are kept.
|
|
657
|
+
- `xflow pages rm <page> --yes` deletes the page: the address goes empty and every version is
|
|
658
|
+
gone for good, without `--yes` the command names what goes and stops. The name stays reserved
|
|
659
|
+
for the organization. A page put up to try something out is yours to take down when you are
|
|
660
|
+
done: do not leave it standing.
|
|
661
|
+
- Names are 3-40 characters. At most 100 pages per organization, 20 new and 200 uploads a day,
|
|
662
|
+
10 seconds between uploads of one page: batch changes into one upload.
|
|
663
|
+
- Static files only, what the build writes (`dist`), never a folder with `package.json`. At most
|
|
664
|
+
5 MB zipped, 25 MB unpacked, 1000 files. Everything a page shows travels inside it: project
|
|
665
|
+
file storage does not serve pages.
|
|
666
|
+
- A backend for a page: see **Page or app**.
|
|
667
|
+
- Everything in a page is readable by every visitor. A known key format gets the upload refused,
|
|
668
|
+
anything else simply leaks.
|
|
669
|
+
- Search engines are asked not to index pages or apps: do not promise SEO.
|
|
670
|
+
- The tab icon is the platform's on every page: do not spend a request on a favicon of your own.
|
|
671
|
+
- A page is deleted by whoever made it, or by the owner of the organization. Switching a page
|
|
672
|
+
off for a while is for a person, in the platform interface.
|
|
673
|
+
|
|
674
|
+
## Organizations and keys
|
|
675
|
+
|
|
676
|
+
One key per organization, stored side by side: `xflow org` lists them, `xflow org switch
|
|
677
|
+
<name|id>` changes the active one, `xflow help org` has the precedence rules.
|
|
678
|
+
|
|
679
|
+
Inside a project folder commands follow the organization the folder is bound to, whatever the
|
|
680
|
+
active one is. `--project <id>` and `--app <id>` ignore the folder whole (`xflow help project`
|
|
681
|
+
lists the commands that take them). A "not found" on a project you know exists usually means the
|
|
682
|
+
key belongs to another organization: check `xflow org`; signing in to a missing organization is
|
|
683
|
+
`xflow login`, and that needs a person with a browser.
|
|
684
|
+
|
|
685
|
+
A key has its owner's level in each project. With view-only access reading works (`projects
|
|
686
|
+
get`, logs, `db query`, `pull`), and every change fails with `Your access to this project is
|
|
687
|
+
view-only`. That is not a bug to work around: tell the person, edit access is theirs to ask for.
|
|
688
|
+
|
|
689
|
+
## Do not
|
|
690
|
+
|
|
691
|
+
- Deploy with `--force` without checking `xflow status` first.
|
|
692
|
+
- Invent platform commands: what is not in `xflow help` does not exist.
|
|
693
|
+
- Ask for a way to change an app's access level or issue a function key: that is the person's.
|
|
694
|
+
|
|
695
|
+
## App design
|
|
696
|
+
|
|
697
|
+
- Take a block from `src/components/blocks` or a primitive from `src/components/ui` before
|
|
698
|
+
writing your own layout; replace or delete them when the design needs something else.
|
|
699
|
+
- Dropdowns, checkboxes, radios and dates through `Select`, `Checkbox`, `RadioGroup`,
|
|
700
|
+
`DatePicker` from `src/components/ui`: a bare `<select>` opens the system list in Safari
|
|
701
|
+
and Firefox, out of the app's style.
|
|
702
|
+
- Every screen starts with a clear header; header, filters and content in one column.
|
|
703
|
+
- Draw all four states: loading, error, empty, data. An empty screen says what appears here and
|
|
704
|
+
offers an action.
|
|
705
|
+
- Colour only when it communicates: status, action, error, success. Grey carries the structure.
|
|
706
|
+
- Density over air: people scan and compare. Numbers in a column, `tabular-nums`.
|
|
707
|
+
- Name the shape first: list, list with detail, dashboard, form, board.
|
|
708
|
+
- Seed 5-10 believable rows in the first migration: a screen with zero rows looks unfinished.
|
|
709
|
+
- Give the app its own page title and icon.
|
|
710
|
+
|
|
711
|
+
## Errors from a deployed app
|
|
712
|
+
|
|
713
|
+
`xflow logs` prints what broke in the browser on the app addresses: unhandled errors, rejected
|
|
714
|
+
promises and 5xx responses; in an app folder that app, in the project root every app.
|
|
715
|
+
`xflow functions logs` prints function crashes. A person sees the same in the web interface:
|
|
716
|
+
browser errors in the «Ошибки» (Errors) panel of the app, function crashes on the «Ошибки» tab
|
|
717
|
+
of the function's screen. The last 200 records of each stream are kept.
|
|
718
|
+
|
|
719
|
+
Run an app locally with `xflow dev` in its folder, not a bare `npm run dev`: every `/_fn/<name>`
|
|
720
|
+
call then goes to the platform as this app, with the same callers and access as on its address,
|
|
721
|
+
and a function someone else deployed answers at once. A bare `npm run dev` has no key, so its
|
|
722
|
+
function calls fail. The server answers `127.0.0.1` alone, because it holds that key. A local
|
|
723
|
+
run reports nothing to the logs.
|
|
724
|
+
|
|
725
|
+
## Environment
|
|
726
|
+
|
|
727
|
+
For CI and agent runs: `XFLOW_TOKEN` replaces `xflow login`, `XFLOW_API_URL` points at another
|
|
728
|
+
platform host. There is no `.env` from the platform: the bundle carries no tokens or addresses.
|
