Introduce a brand new lightweight and efficient modal component. It is
designed to be visually similar to the previous one to not introduce a
change in feel of the application in a patch release, but behind the
scenes it features:
- Enhanced application speed and reduced bundle size.
- New flexbox-driven layout, eliminating JS calculations.
- Composition API ready for Vue 3.0 #230.
Other changes:
- Adopt idiomatic Vue via `v-modal` binding.
- Add unit tests for both the modal and dialog.
- Remove `vue-js-modal` dependency in favor of the new implementation.
- Adjust modal shadow color to better match theme.
- Add `@vue/test-utils` for unit testing.
- Migrate `StatefulVue`:
- Introduce `UseCollectionState` that replaces its behavior and acts
as a shared state store.
- Add more encapsulated, granular functions based on read or write
access to state in CollectionState.
- Some linting rules get activates due to new code-base compability to
modern parses, fix linting errors.
- Rename Dialog to ModalDialog as after refactoring,
eslintvue/no-reserved-component-names does not allow name Dialog.
- To comply with `vue/multi-word-component-names`, rename:
- `Code` -> `CodeInstruction`
- `Handle` -> `SliderHandle`
- `Documentable` -> `DocumentableNode`
- `Node` -> `NodeContent`
- `INode` -> `INodeContent`
- `Responsive` -> `SizeObserver`
- Remove `vue-property-decorator` and `vue-class-component`
dependencies.
- Refactor `watch` with computed properties when possible for cleaner
code.
- Introduce `UseApplication` to reduce repeated code in new components
that use `computed` more heavily than before.
- Change TypeScript target to `es2017` to allow top level async calls
for getting application context/state/instance to simplify the code by
removing async calls. However, mocha (unit and integration) tests do
not run with top level awaits, so a workaround is used.
Disable selecting clickables as text. Selecting buttons leads to
unintended selection. This is seen when touching on clickables using
mobile devices.
Prevent blue highlight when touching on clickables. This is seen on
mobile webkit browsers. It looks ugly and the visual clue provided is
not needed beacuse all clickables on mobile already have visual clues.
- Simplify `README.md` by creating and moving some documentation to
`architecture.md`.
- Add more documentation for state handling between layers.
- Improve some documentation to use clearer language.
- Add more documentation.
- Use `main.scss` instead of importing components individually. This
improves productivity without compilation errors due to missing
imports and allows for easier future file/folder changes and
refactorings inside `./styles`.
- Use partials with underscored naming. Because it documents that the
files should not be individually imported.
- Introduce `third-party-extensions` folder to group styles that
overwrites third party components.
- Refactor variable names from generic to specific.
- Use Sass modules (`@use` and `@forward`) over depreciated `@import`
syntax.
- Separate font assets from Sass files (`styles/`). Create `assets/`
folder that will contain both.
- Create `_globals.css` for global styling of common element instead of
using `App.vue`.
Before we used native method from electron for updating and notifying
(`checkForUpdatesAndNotify`). It simply checked if there's an update,
downloaded it, applied in the background and showed OS notification.
The flow is now updated. Updates will be checked, user will be asked to
confirm about whether to download and apply the updates, then a UI with
progress bar will be shown and user will be asked to restart the
application.
This commit also moves electron related logic to `/electron/` folder (as
there are now multiple files) to keep them structured. Also the electon
entrypoint `background.ts` is renamed to `main.ts`. The reason it was
named `background.ts` by vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder was to remove
the confusion between `main.ts` of Vue itself. However, as they are
kept in different folders, but this is not the case for us.
Better than `checkForUpdatesAndNotify`.
Organizes electron desktop app logic in same folder to allow using
multiple files in a structured manner.
- Move most GUI related code to /presentation
- Move components to /components (separate from bootstrap and style)
- Move shared components helpers to /components/shared
- Rename Bootstrapping to bootstrapping to enforce same naming
convention in /presentation
