In e464e69 I removed href='#' but I noticed that it broke some things.
Readding href serves two purposes:
- it makes links reachable with Tab key
- it makes links clickable with Enter key
The alternative to this approach was to introduce [tabindex] and [role]
attributes. But not only using tabindex=0 with <a/> is questionable,
it'd require adding a keyboard handler that'd intercept space and return
key presses and simulated link clicks. Since it's best to leave this
kind of thing to the native UI, I went with readding hrefs instead. I
believe that hash hrefs, even though being a common practice, are silly,
so I decided to settle down with empty hrefs.
As a bonus, I added a snippet that prevents middle mouse clicks from
opening such links/buttons in new tabs, which was the motivation for
e464e69.
Every time the password reset form was loaded, the form submit event
listener was attached to a non-disposable DOM node rather than the DOM
node whose life scope was bound to the viewed page. As such, submitting
the form, leaving the page, returning back to it and sending the request
again caused the 'submit' event to fire twice - one time from the
non-disposed event handler and one from the current handler. This
resulted in the request being sent twice, and getting two confirmation
messages on the screen.
Fortunately, since the password reset requests are GET requests, they're
intercepted by the internal cache of the client API facade, so the
client just saw duplicate messages without the requests being actually
sent to the backend - meaning no extra mails were sent.
- Hide fields that are uneditable, rather than disabling them
- Support fragmented edit privileges (e.g. roles than can edit only some
aspects of tags) - up until now the client tried to send everything at
once, which resulted in errors for such cases.
- Controller lifetime is bound to route lifetime
- View lifetime is bound to controller lifetime
- Control lifetime is bound to view lifetime
- Enhanced event dispatching
- Enhanced responsiveness in some places
- Views communicate user input to controllers via new event system
