laraval had a milestone update to version 11, so the codebase needed an
updgrade.
there was one package that wasn't needed that was blocking the upgrade
because it was attached to a hard coded dependency in an older version
of laravel so it was removed.
this changed required an edit of some template files, so those changes
were made as well
there were some random logos in the global images folder, so that was
cleaned up and replaced with primary and secondary options according to
the current color palette for the sake of flexibility
found a nice repo of svg icons, so experimented with adding one to the
sprite sheet to see if it works, which it does
Got the first part of the API working, which checks to see if there is a
valid session active to set up requests
also some small changes to get the favicon working, yeah, yeah, but it's
cool looking...
dropped in js from the old site to begin the process of wiring up the
API, but this time around, scripts will be served directly in browswer
rather than being transpiled through NPM/Babel, eliminating the need for
NPM.
also scripting will new modularized and served specifically for the
requirements of the page loading it. no more front loading everything.
only script that is needed for that page will be retrieved. if no
scripting is needed, none will be loaded.
The only casualty so far has been syntax highlighting due to prismjs
still being a common js module, but either this will be replaced with
another library or a custom syntax enginge will be created at a later
date
There are some spacing issues that need to be addressed but the page
editor template has been added and the CSS all lines up
scripting is still an issue as the backend that handles content still
isn't in place, but the front facing piece is in place so now those
components can be built
scripting is going to get an overhaul anyway, so this is a good place to
start that process
Added controller to handle the login process and session management
that stores information about the person that has logged in so that info
is available through out the app when logged in
Brought over a template from the old build to see how the conversion
process would go (it's not bad) and see if the CSS would still stick (it
did)
The wiring will be finished when the auth class is completed
Added the folder containg Fipamo markdown files to set up a basic route
for the start of the dashboard and quick test to make sure the file
paths can be read
also added CSS files that will style the new template system, which is
currenlty in twig but will be convereted to blade
