Problem/Motivation

Presently, expiration is based on the generation timestamp, plus a config value exposed in ✨ Configuration option to set default expiration limit Closed: won't fix .

This means Preview Links cannot be customised to have per-preview link expiration, and whenever the config changes, expiration is automatically applied to all preview links.

I'd like to introduce the possibility of per preview link expiration, wherein:

Expiration is set at creation. No external config changes modify pre-existing links.
Using hooks, expiration can be modified depending on custom logic.

Proposed resolution

  • Add expiration field.
  • Set default value on creation, only.
  • Migrate existing preview links, prefill data.
  • Existing expire reset button no longer resets regneration timestamp, but recalculates currentTime + expiration config, and sets it as a value.
  • When a preview link is accessed, check live expiration, rather than waiting for cron.
