A new approach to build a webinterface for RS
|
|
|
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. get JSON encoded data from the backend, data contains a state token
|
|
|
|
|
2. render data with mithril.js
|
|
|
|
|
3. ask the backend if the state token from step 1 expired. If yes, then start again with step 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Steps 1. and 3. are common for most things, only Step 2. differs. This allows to re-use code for steps 1. and 3.

BUILD / DEVELOPMENT
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- install tools
|
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install TODO (insert package names for nodejs, ruby, sass here)
|
|
|
|
|
- run this once in webui-src directory, to install more tools
|
|
|
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
|
- start build
|
|
|
|
|
npm run watch
|
|
|
|
|
- the build process watches files for changes, and rebuilds and reloads the page. Build output is in ./public
|
|
|
|
|
- use the --webinterface 9090 command line parameter to enable webui in retroshare-nogui
|
|
|
|
|
- set the --docroot parameter of retroshare-nogui to point to the "libresapi/src/webui-src/public" directory
|
|
|
|
|
(or symlink from /usr/share/RetroShare06/webui on Linux, ./webui on Windows)
|
|
|
|
|
- retroshare-gui does not have a --docroot parameter. Use symlinks then.

google material design has nice rules for color, spacing and everything: https://www.google.de/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html
|
|
|
|
