the first part of the setting API has been restored, with the methods
sync, publish and nav-sync restored to working order under the new API
pattern. Documentation for the API will be completed after the upgrade
is complete.
There was also a script error when trying to edit a page from the link
menu on the dashboard, so that has been fixed as well
removed all remaining API requests from the front end and removed the
FipamoAdminAPI js file, changing it to ContentRequest as it now handles
posting data to the system directly, authenticating it self by checking
the embedded CSRF token that regulary rotates
also renamed MaintenanceManager to Maintenance request and moved it to
the same dir as ContentRequest as they are both libraries that connect
to the backend
the last ui page that needed to be added was managing the main
navigation menu for rendered pages, so that's been turned on. menu
items can be added by pinning pages to the menu when editing them and
can be removed by unpinning them or deleting them from the navigation
edit ui
it touched quite a few systems so all of those classes needed to be
edited as well tweaking the front end script to work with the new
modular script format
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
