server connection.
The BaseDriver and BaseConnection are two abstract classes, which allows
us to replace the existing driver with the currently used. The current
implementation supports to connect the PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus
Advanced Server using the psycopg2 driver.
(lazy loading) using the require.js. This allows us to load the
javascript required for any node, only when it was loaded in the browser
tree. Also, introduced the mechanism to show/edit/create of any node in
a tab panel (wcDocker.Panel).
submodules inherited from the PgAdminModule instead of regular
Blueprint. This allows us to load the module automatically from the
under the pgadmin directory, and will work to extend the pgAdmin
extension module.
PgAdminModule is inherited from the Blueprint, and bring several
methods:
- get_own_stylesheets, which returns the stylesheets used by the module
(excluding its submodules stylesheets)
- get_own_javascripts
- menu_items, which returns a dictionray mapping the old hook names
(context_items etc) to a list of MenuItem instances
For more specialized modules (as for now, any module that should be part
of the browser tree construction), one can define an abstract base class
defining additional methods.
For example, the BrowserPluginModule abstract base class defines the
following methods:
- jssnippets
- csssnipeets
- node_type
- get_nodes
Still needs some work to:
- Minimise AJAX calls by writing multiple settings at once.
- Move the settings storage/retrieval JS code into a global file
- Avoid using synchronous AJAX calls in the main thread
Modules may now include functions that return lists of menu items
that will be included on the main browser window menu. While we're
at it, move the test views into a separate module.
A user authentication module based on flask-security is added, which
allows users to login and change/recover passwords etc. Custom templates
are included for the user/password UIs.
A new setup script will initialise the user (and later settings) DB,
adding the first user and granting them an Administrator role.
A redirects blueprint module is added to handle simple URL redirects.
A browser module is added and currently renders a skeleton page with
a menu bar, gravatar and jumbotron.
NOTE FOR LATER: Currently this code might make the nice basis for any
web app that needs user management and plugins. Hmmm....
