Replaces the previous 'Visibility enum' approach (commit 33ecfa7e,
reverted in 42625f5d) with the existing BlogSpotPublication
mechanism. Paul pointed out that the system already had a
publication table and a Publish field on BlogPostEditViewModel;
we just didn't expose it through the API.
The toggle is its own action on the API surface — a dedicated
endpoint rather than a field on the existing BlogPost wire
DTO. This keeps the BlogPostDto contract unchanged and avoids
shoe-horning 'Publish' into the entity model alongside
Title/Article (where the existing BlogSpotService.Modify
already takes two overloads and a third felt like drift).
Server (Yavsc.Blogs / Yavsc.Server)
- PUT /api/BlogApi/{id}/publish body { publish: bool }
Returns 204 on success, 404 when the post doesn't exist,
Challenge() (401) when the caller is not the author
(EditPermission gate). Idempotent: PUT because the
resulting state matches the body, not the request.
- BlogSpotService.SetPublishAsync(user, postId, publish)
factored out of the existing
Modify(BlogPostEditViewModel) inline toggle, so the new
endpoint reuses the same BlogSpotPublication row logic
(add row if missing on publish=true, remove row if
present on publish=false).
- BlogPost.IsPublished (NotMapped) is now hydrated by the
service after each Index/Details fetch — a single bulk
lookup, not N+1 — and surfaces through the wire JSON
so PostIt can show the current state without a follow-up
request.
- ApplicationUser nav properties (Posts, Book,
DeviceDeclaration, Connections, Circles, BlackList,
Rooms, RoomAccess, Membership, BlogComments) now carry
BOTH [JsonIgnore] (Newtonsoft) and
[System.Text.Json.Serialization.JsonIgnore] so the
Yavsc.Blogs test fixture (System.Text.Json) stops
exploding on object cycles when serialising
BlogPost.Author.Posts.Author.Posts. Production
(Yavsc.Org, NewtonsoftJson) was already safe via the
Newtonsoft-only attribute; this commit just makes the
Yavsc.Blogs side consistent.
Client (Yavsc.Api.Client)
- BlogApiClient.SetPublishAsync(id, publish) → PUT to the
new endpoint.
DTO wire (Yavsc.Abstract.Blogspot.BlogPost)
- BlogPostDto.IsPublished added. Same shape as the entity
field; serialised as a plain bool in JSON.
UI (PostIt)
- MainPageViewModel.DraftIsPublished (ObservableProperty)
mirrors the existing DraftTitle/DraftArticle pattern;
hydrated from SelectedPost.IsPublished on selection
change. TogglePublish command pushes the new state to
SetPublishAsync and updates both the buffer and the
selected post locally so the UI reflects the change
without a full Refresh.
- MainPage.axaml: a CheckBox 'Publié' in the toolbar,
bound to DraftIsPublished TwoWay and wired to
TogglePublishCommand. The toggle is its own action
(not part of Save), matching the wire contract.
Tests (Yavsc.Blogs.Tests)
- PublishEndpointTests (4 [Fact]):
* PUT publish=true returns 204 and IsPublished is true
in the next GET
* PUT publish=false clears IsPublished
* PUT on an unknown post returns 404
* PUT by a non-author does not return 204 (Challenge)
- BlogsWebServerFixture now wires
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage() so 500s in tests
surface a real stack trace instead of an empty
InternalServerError body — much easier to diagnose
future regressions.
Test totals: 24/24 Yavsc.Blogs.Tests (was 20, +4
PublishEndpoint), 51/51 PostIt.Tests (no change), 44/44
Yavsc.Org.Tests (no change).
Out of scope (tracked in MEMORY.md, 2026-08-18):
- i18n: only the new 'Publié' label is localised; the
rest of MainPage.axaml is still hard-coded French.
- BlogPostEditViewModel.Publish ↔ IsPublished reconciliation
in the admin web Yavsc (the Org UI already edits Publish
inline; no work needed there).
