Processing of Side Effects of ActivityPub Activities for an ActivityPub Server
Project description
bovine_process
bovine_process
consists of the side effect logic of Activity objects. This means it contains the code, the logic that for an incoming object, one executes:
- Store object in bovine_store
- Add reference to inbox
- Perform side effects
- Enque object for bovine_pubsub
And a similar list of effects for outgoing objects, i.e
- Store object in bovine_store
- Add reference to outbox
- Perform side effects
- Send objects to follower's inbox
- Enque object for bovine_pubsub
The behavior defined in this package corresponds to 6. Client to Server Interactions and 7. Server to Server Interactions of the ActivityPub specification. However, only a small subset of side effects is implemented.
Implemented Side Effects
- Create, Update, Delete. Deletes are handled by replacing the object with a Tombstone. Various checks are performed to ensure only appropriate Updates happen.
- Specify Update checks
- Follow and Accept
- Outgoing Accept of Follow adds to followers
- Incoming Accept of Follows adds to following
- Implement other side effects, in particular Like, Announce, and inReplyTo
- Authority checks.
That's it. Currently, no collections for replies and likes are kept in bovine_store, so implementing these side effects cannot happen yet:
- Announce -> add to share collection
- Like -> add to likes collection
- Create with inReplyTo -> add to replies collection
Tests
The folder tests/data
contains test cases what side effects happen in the database for certain cases.
