This PR is an extracted clean up feature of #7495.
We are using everywhere static id checks (userId === 0 or userId === 1).
This PR moves the static values into the Base model.
This makes it 1. way more readable and 2. we can change the id's in a central place.
I changed the most important occurances - no tests are touched (yet!).
The background is: when changing from auto increment id (number) to ObjectId's (string) we still need to support id 1 and 0, because Ghost relies on these two static id's.
I would like to support using both: 0/1 as string and 0/1 as number.
1 === owner/internal
0 === external
Another important change:
User Model does not longer define the contextUser method, because i coulnd't find a reason?
I looked in Git history, see 6e48275
