This significantly speeds up loading of the application; in an average of 3 tests, v1.6
loaded in 11.5s in the runtime on a Mac, whilst the webpacked version of the code
loaded in 5.53s.
Created a url_for function module to be used by different javascript
modules to use the same functionality of flask at client side.
A python module can expose the list of endpoints, used by its
javascripts, by overriding the 'get_exposed_url_endpoints(self)'
function.
In this patch, we have modified all the browser modules to use this
function. It will allow us to move the majority of the javascript
modules of browser nodes from templates directory to the static
directory.
TODO::
- Move these javascripts modules to the static directory.
- Use this function in all the applicable javascript modules.
e.g. tools, miscellaneous modules
(tabbed) UI.
Also, fixed few bugs pointed by Dave:
* Open the URL in separate browser tab/window.
* Fixed few CSS changes for look and feel for the dialog view
* Some of the panels were not listed in the context menu for the
wcDocker.
(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).
The File menu now includes a "Create" submenu, and Delete/Rename
options. Nodes can offer Delete/Rename functionality, and the
options on the menu are automatically enabled/disabled based on
the selected node. Each node can also offer Create functionality,
and specify a list of node types (including itself) from which the
option should be made available. The menu is dynamically generated
based on the selected node.
The Context menu on the treeview works in a similar way, except that
nodes can offer any context menu items (we don't allow this on the
top menu, as that should stay consistent to avoid user confusion).
