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. CONTRIBUTE ---------- - if you are a web developer or want to become one get in contact! - lots of work to do, i need you! TODO ---- [ ] make stylesheets or find reusable sass/css components google material design has nice rules for color, spacing and everything: https://www.google.de/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html [ ] find icons, maybe use google material design iconfont [X] use urls/mithril routing for the menu. urls could replace state stored in rs.content [X] drag and drop private key upload and import [X] link from peer location to chat (use urls and mithril routing) [X] add/remove friend, own cert [X] downloads, search [ ] make reusable infinite list controller, the js part to load data from Pagination.h (tweak Pagination.h to make everything work) should provide forward, backward and follow-list-end [ ] backend: view/create identities [ ] backend: chat lobby participants list [X] chat: send_message [ ] backend: chat typing notifications [ ] make routines to handle retroshare links [ ] backend: edit shared folders [ ] backend: view shared files [ ] redirect if a url is not usable in the current runstate (e.g. redirect from login page to home page, after login) [X] sort friendslist need 4 master ------------- [ ] unsubscribe lobby [ ] unread chat message counter in menu [ ] list chat-lobby participants
