Since meta.status would be undefined for an incomplete request,
I would have to check response.completed && response.meta.status,
which is too much burden. Let's set the status immediately, and
if a callback wants to do further diving we'll use completed then.
In e57f87c I moved it to a folder so that every entry in the frontends
dir was a folder. A noble goal, but it always felt silly and I'm quite
sure it will never expand to be more than a single file.
I want to reduce some complexity around here, part of which is that
launch imported entrypoint imported backend, all to do some proxy
wrapping which isn't necessary for the dev case anyway. Less
layers of wrapping and importing is good. Plus I think this naming
is more clear.
Previously, then the tags list was very long and dominated the scroll
height of the page, the #right and thus the photo would be floating
halfway down the page. By making it sticky, the photo always occupies
the correct position in the viewport no matter how long #left gets.
- tag_autocomplete.tags and .synonyms are separate vars, not in tagset.
- tag_autocomplete.tags is now a Set object for faster resolve().
- get_all_tags moved to api.js.
- server provides "updated" timestamp with the all_tags list.
The current system has bad performance when you've got 100,000+ tags.
I discovered that when the server returns 304, the browser gives the
ajax a 200 with the full response, and it's not clear to me if js can
know it got a 304. So, the tag set is being fully re-parsed from the
response on every page load. I was thinking that I should store that in
IndexedDB to avoid the parsing step, but... since the JSON.parse is
done by my common.get before it hits this function, it's meaningless.
Not to mention I still have to rebuild the datalist on every page since
of course that state isn't shared between tabs. Not worth the DB stuff.
We'll see what happens next.
This experiment of bringing Photos and Albums closer to parity in
search is going well so far. I have found some situations where it
is nice to only get albums back from search results.
There was always some semblance that two blank lines has some kind of
meaning or structure that's different from single blank lines, but
in reality it was mostly arbitrary and I can't stand to look at it
any more.
