Currently in services, we don’t make a distinction between input
parameters, options and dependencies.
This can lead to user input modifying the service behavior, whereas it
was not the developer intention.
This patch addresses the issue by changing how data is provided to
services:
- `params` is now used to hold all data coming from outside (typically
user input from a controller) and a contract will take its values from
`params`.
- `options` is a new key to provide options to a service. This typically
allows changing a service behavior at runtime. It is, of course,
totally optional.
- `dependencies` is actually anything else provided to the service (like
`guardian`) and available directly from the context object.
The `service_params` helper in controllers has been updated to reflect
those changes, so most of the existing services didn’t need specific
changes.
The options block has the same DSL as contracts, as it’s also based on
`ActiveModel`. There aren’t any validations, though. Here’s an example:
```ruby
options do
attribute :allow_changing_hidden, :boolean, default: false
end
```
And here’s an example of how to call a service with the new keys:
```ruby
MyService.call(params: { key1: value1, … }, options: { my_option: true }, guardian:, …)
```
If you have the admin dashboard open, and one of the admin notices listed has already been dismissed (e.g. in another tab, or by another admin) we would show an ugly "FAILED" modal.
This change makes the admin dismiss endpoint idempotent. If the admin notice is already destroyed, then respond with 200. This will also correctly remove it from the list in the front-end.
his is a new feature that lets admins dismiss notices from the dashboard. This helps with self-service in cases where a notice is "stuck", while we work on provisions to prevent "sticking" in the first place.
