node-red-contrib-uibuilder 3.1.0

Bug fixes & Enhancements

on Node.js NPM

Fixed

• Issue #106 Editor: When editing files, a filename with a leading dot did not set the filetype correctly.

• Issue #105 Editor: Attempting to edit a hidden file (with a leading dot) resulted in an error and white screen.

New

• Issue #108 You can now view the uibuilder package docs (the ones in this package) by going to the url <node-red-editor-url>/uibuilder/techdocs.

  The package docs use Docsify for formatting. The docs include a search feature as well.

  The docs are linked to from both the uibuilder help information panel and from a new button in the configuration panel.

• The config editor has a new button Instance Details. clicking the button will show a new page in a new tab. The page contains debug details of the exact settings for the uibuilder instance. This should help people better understand all of the settings including folders and urls.

Changed

Editor, "Edit Source Files" improvements:

• ALL folders and files within the <uibRoot>/<url> folder can now be edited.

• Soft- or Hard-linked folders and files can now be used. This lets you put your front-end resources wherever you like as long as you create a soft or hard link into the <uibRoot>/<url> folder.

• Added better information toasts on file create/delete actions.

  Pop-up notifications are now given when you create/delete folders and files.

• Made keyboard enter button do the default action in the create dialog windows.

• Added more information to the create/delete dialog windows. (url, folder name, file name)

• Issue #102 Relaxed the file-type checks when editing files. Allows for use of more ACE file-types and prepares the way for the introduction of the Monaco editor in Node-RED v2.

• Issue #107 Allowed the selection of any folder or sub-folders in the file editor.

  The editor still constrains you to the folder for the instance but any folder within that root can be viewed. New sub-folders can be created and existing ones deleted.

• Issue #109 Persist the selection of folder and file when editing.

  This means that closing and reopening the editor will return to the last edited file.

  Uses browser local storage and so does not work with Internet Explorer (which hasn't been supported by uibuilder since v3.0.0).

• Improved display when no file is available to edit or if the file cannot be opened.

• Started moving to new v3 admin API's that are more consistent with less overheads.

• Changed "Edit Source Files" button to say "Edit Files". Recognising the additional capabilities.

• Changed button link names in the configuration panel to clarify and accommodate the 2 extra buttons for the instance details and technical docs links.

uibuilder.js:

• Started to simplify and rationalise API checks and reporting. Deprecated /uibfiles, /uibnewfile, /uibdeletefile API's, replaced with new v3 admin API /uibuilder/admin/:url. Simplifies the admin API's, makes them more consistent and reduces the number of URL's.
• Added v3 admin API's to create new and delete files and folders
• Added /uibuilder/instance/<url> admin API. Is created for each instance. Calling it will show a detailed information page for the given uibuilder instance.

Other

• Updated dependencies
• Installer: Improved the post-install console message (Post Install takes a while). Also forces VueJS to v2.x (not v3 as yet which will soon be the latest version because there are currently too many breaking changes).
