Quick summary:
- use jQuery UI and jQuery BBQ libraries
- code restructuring
The patch has so many changes they can't be listed here. Many parts
of the code have been rewritten from scrach.
See freeipa-devel mailing list:
webUI code restructuring [wall of text, diagrams, ... you've been warned!]
2010-09-07
-Refactored the associations code into a set of objects that are configured by the entities
-Added support for associations that can be done in a single rpc
-hostgroup to host and group to user associations working
-Restructed sampledata so that the file is matched automatically by the RPC method name
-The new ipa_cmd/sampledata scheme insists on there being sample data for any commands or the ipa_command fails.
-Added sampledata files for all the calls we make
-renamed several of the sampledata files to match their rpc calls
-Started a pattern of refactoring where all the forms for the entity fall under a single object
We now catch the hashchange event and use that to drive most of the site.
To trigger page transitions, modify location.hash.
Params start with # not ?.
Removed user-group.inc.
converted tabs to spaces
trivial imlementation of add and details for netgroup and hostgroup
lots of bug fixes based on routing problems and the refactorings.
to hash params ( starting with # ). User Details are now part of
index.xhtml, ao one more .inc file has been removed.
Updated commit to catch a few things that had been left out, including
sampledata handling and updateing Makefile.am
What it means?
Well, first I removed some development control variables from ipa.js.
Namely useSampleData and sizelimit. I moved useSampleData to the top
of index.xhtml. This way we won't forget about it when we don't need
it anymore. sizelimit has nothing to do in ipa.js and be hardcoded
for ALL commands! Some don't have this parameter and could fail.
Since ipa_init now loads meta-data over JSON-RPC, we need to wait for
it to finish its job. That's why I put a second parameter to ipa_init:
on_win. ipa_init will call on_win when all data is loaded properly and
we can start building the page.
