Futon2!
-------
Key: COUCHDB-950
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-950
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: New Feature
Environment: All.
Reporter: mikeal
This is a complete rewrite of Futon as a single page app using sammy.js.
I've been working on it for some time at
https://github.com/mikeal/couchdb/tree/sammy
Changes
-------------
- Everything expect for session.html is loaded dynamically as a content replace
to index.html.
- The total amount of javascript loaded at any time is about 1/3, a combination
of removing abstractions and some very large jQuery plugins.
- Load times for all pages is dramatically reduced
- URL structure of futon now mimics the CouchDB REST API except at #/
- An intended side-effect of the new URL structure is that the button to pull
up the current page as a request to CouchDB works *everywhere*
- Unified error handling (Any network or HTTP error is now displayed as error
bubbled at the top of the page content)
- All "paging" is now done inline making the loads faster and more usable
- Many dialogs have been removed in favor of simpler UI elements (as a side
effect it's more mobile friendly).
- All dbinfo is in database page as well as the "total size" calculated from
the db size and the size of all the views.
- db page includes support for start/end queries against _all_docs
- Stats page now includes all info from _stats
- added _changes page
- Cleaned up loading of test files (faster and parallelized now). The test are
now automatically sorted alpha regardless of the order in the array definition.
- New Document viewer/editor
-- In-line "auto-save"
-- Full revision information and restoration
-- New UI shows all arrays and objects as initially collapsed to improve
handling of large docs.
-- Load time, even with incredibly large objects, is almost instance (a
combination of not using a table and only creating elements in the expanded
view after you click to expand them)
- New Views Page
-- Emphasis is now on building queries with building view functions a secondary
function.
-- All view options exposed, options now allowed are disabled.
-- All queries can be built in this view and then
-- Creating new views, and editing views, is now a process of editing and
saving design documents, all usage of temp views has been removed.
-- include_docs expand/collapse when in query
