SilverStripeBackend now has a createEndpointFetcher method, described
in its docblock in more detail.
It’s based the asset-admin code for apiCallerFromEndpoint(). It’s
refactored and generalised into framework in order to provide a
general-purpose API for tying Javascript components to backend APIs.
@todo: tests
- Removes thirdparty dependency History.js
- Adds thirdparty dependency Page.js to manage client-side routing
- Adds a wrapper around Page.js for SilverStripe specific behaviour
- Increased minimum browser requirement to IE10. Native HTML History API routing requires IE10 or newer (necessitated by removal of History.js)
- PJAX pannel loading via now uses promises rather than callbacks
- Adds getClientConfig method to LeftAndMain which can be used to pass config from to the front-end client
Uses https://github.com/uber/npm-shrinkwrap instead of the built-in "npm shrinkwrap" since it works more reliably.
Specifically, "npm install" doesn't fail depending on node_modules/ being installed in the local cache or not.
It also makes npm-shrinkwrap.json easier to diff by more consistently ordering its output between runs.
If you need any convincing that this is a problem, look at the over 400 issues related to "shrinkwrap"
in https://github.com/npm/npm/search?q=shrinkwrap&type=Issues&utf8=%E2%9C%93
- Includes a package.json file with build and CI scripts
- Includes shrinkwrap file for locking dependency version
- Includes Gulp for running build tasks
- Includes a 'build' task for copying library files from node_modules to thirdparty
- Includes a 'sanity' task for makes sure library files in thirdparty match what's in node_modules
- Includes updates to .travis.yml (new JS_SANITY_CHECK flag) to run the sanity task
