feat(dashboard): anonymous time-limited sharing link - #2274
Conversation
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

- 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.

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

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.
SharingLinkSectionis 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 thegids !== -1guard, 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 share route forwards
__tokenon/apirequests through the request interceptor. Panels, variables and the datasource brief all pick it up without threading a prop through the renderer.Verification
