Frontend for board share links. A dashboard can be shared anonymously through a link that is scoped to that board, expires, and can be revoked - rather than by marking it permanently public.

Backend: ccfos/nightingale#3345. These have to ship together; without the backend the dialog cannot issue anything.

Where it lives

Anonymous access and sharing links were describing the same thing from two separate dialogs. Sharing is now how anonymous access works, so it sits inside the public settings dialog, under the anonymous access type. Picking that type already states the intent, so the section does not repeat it as a checkbox.

SharingLinkSection is extracted and reused by the detail-page dialog, which has no access type of its own and therefore keeps its own checkbox. The separate share icon on the list page is gone now that the public dialog covers it; the list entry also sat outside the gids !== -1 guard, so on the public-dashboard view it opened a dialog that could only 403.

Issuing

Links are issued on an explicit action rather than on opening the dialog - otherwise every visit would leave a stray token behind - and land in a table with note, expiry, creator and a revoke action.

  • the note is required: a board can hold several long-lived links, and without one there is no way to tell which to revoke
  • expirations extend to months and years, defaulting to 30 days. There is deliberately no never-expires option, since expiry and revocation are what a link has over permanent publication
  • theme is applied when copying, to every link in the table - it is a display parameter, not a property of any single token
  • while a token is pending or its request failed, the field shows nothing and copying is disabled, so a private or stale-expiry link is never copied out by mistake
  • boards with a host-ident variable cannot be shared anonymously, and if that config cannot be read the dialog fails closed

Wiring

The share route forwards __token on /api requests through the request interceptor. Panels, variables and the datasource brief all pick it up without threading a prop through the renderer.

Verification

tsc --noEmit is clean, npm run build succeeds, and check_locale_keys reports the five dashboard locales aligned.

Add a sharing dialog that issues a board share token and builds a
/dashboards/share/{id}?__token= link, alongside the existing public modes.

- SharingLinkModal: opt-in anonymous access with expiry and theme; disable
  the option for boards with a hostIdent variable; keep the copy button
  disabled while the token is pending or failed so a private/stale link is
  never copied; fail closed if the board config cannot be read
- entries on the list public column and the detail title bar (hidden on
  preview / built-in / public views); guard the list entry behind
  gids !== '-1' to avoid a 403 dead-end in the public-dashboard view
- request interceptor forwards __token to /api requests on the share route
  so panels, variables and datasource brief work without prop drilling
- five-language locale entries for the sharing dialog
Anonymous access and sharing links were two separate dialogs describing
the same thing. Sharing is now the way anonymous access works, so it
belongs where the access type is chosen.

- extract SharingLinkSection, embedded in the public dialog under the
  anonymous type and reused by the detail-page dialog (which has no
  access type of its own and keeps its own checkbox)
- picking the anonymous type already states the intent, so the dialog no
  longer repeats it as a checkbox
- expirations extend to months and years, defaulting to 30 days; there is
  deliberately no never-expires option, since expiry and revocation are
  what a link has over permanent publication
- links are issued on an explicit action rather than on opening the
  dialog, and land in a table showing note, expiry, creator and a revoke
  action; the note is required, or a board ends up with several
  indistinguishable long-lived links
- theme is a copy-time parameter applied to every link in the table, not
  a property of any single token
- drop the separate share icon on the list page now that the public
  dialog covers it

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Dashboard sharing links now use source-token APIs, tri-state configuration checks, localized operation errors, and authorization-gated entry points. Share-page API requests receive the __token query parameter.

Changes

Dashboard sharing links

Layer / File(s) Summary
Source-token service contract
src/services/common.ts
Adds source-token types, listing, creation-note support, and revocation requests.
Sharing-link controls
src/pages/dashboard/List/SharingLinkSection.tsx, src/pages/dashboard/locale/*
Adds tri-state anonymous-access gating, expiration handling, token generation, listing, revocation, and localized messages.
Dashboard sharing entry points
src/pages/dashboard/Detail/Title.tsx, src/pages/dashboard/List/SharingLinkModal.tsx, src/pages/dashboard/List/PublicForm.tsx
Restricts the title action to authorized users and applies dashboard configuration states to anonymous sharing.
Share-page request authorization
src/utils/request.tsx
Appends the share-page __token value to eligible API requests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 3b7ae

Malformed host-identification settings can enable anonymous sharing when access should be blocked, and invalid entries can prevent the sharing settings from rendering. Merge should wait until both paths validate the configuration and fail closed.

Replace the any table-column cast with a typed column definition.

Line 230 hides column render-type errors. Type columns as ColumnsType<SourceTokenItem> instead of using columns as any.

As per coding guidelines, “Declare component Props explicitly with TypeScript interface and avoid any”.

Comment thread src/pages/dashboard/List/SharingLinkModal.tsx
Comment thread src/pages/dashboard/List/SharingLinkSection.tsx Outdated
- The token table and its revoke action sat behind allowAnonymous, so existing
  links were hidden until an unrelated checkbox was ticked, and vanished
  entirely once the public type changed or the board gained a host-ident
  variable. Tokens are independent of both - boardGet validates __token before
  the public/login branch - so hiding the list removes the only way to revoke a
  link that is still live. The table now always renders; only the generate form
  stays gated.

- Host-ident detection was fail-open in three ways despite the comments saying
  otherwise: the detail-page branch never ANDed the flag at all, JSON.parse
  failures left it false, and the initial value allowed issuing during the
  in-flight window. Replaced the boolean with an explicit
  checking/allowed/blocked state, defaulting to blocked on any unknown.

- The share button was the only action in the detail toolbar without
  isAuthorized, and __public__ is only present when navigating from the public
  tab, so non-members opening a public board by id saw a button that could only
  403.

- The expiration input accepted decimals, producing a float expire_at that the
  int64 binding rejects with a 400, while the catch only logged to console -
  the user saw the button do nothing. Added precision and user-visible errors
  on all three requests.

- Expiration units were hardcoded English; added keys across all five locales.

PublicForm no longer fabricates a hostIdent variable to signal a failed config
read: that asserted something untrue to the user and left the OK button
disabled for the life of the dialog after a transient error.

Validate the configuration shape before setting hostIdentState to allowed.

A successful JSON.parse does not prove that host-identification variables can be inspected. For example, [] or { "var": {} } produces no match and enables anonymous sharing. In PublicForm, a var array containing null also throws at item.type during render. Treat an invalid root object, a non-array var, or invalid variable items as blocked.

  • src/pages/dashboard/List/SharingLinkModal.tsx#L29-L33: validate the parsed configuration with native guards before scanning var; set hostIdentState to blocked when the shape is invalid.
  • src/pages/dashboard/List/PublicForm.tsx#L28-L33: apply the same validation before deriving hostIdentState; do not access item.type until the item is confirmed to be an object.

As per coding guidelines, prefer native type narrowing such as Array.isArray and typeof x === 'number' over Lodash type guards.
