Major redesign (version 2) #11

Closed jbsarrodie closed 4 years ago

jbsarrodie commented 4 years ago

Current version works great, but while working on #7 (Allow deeplinks to easily bookmark one specific view) and #10 (Report mode with AlaSql) it became obvious that current HTML/CSS code was a bit of a mess.

So I decided to reboot and to start again using gain knowledge as a starting point. I now have the basic skeleton up and running (and documented) and will be able to share it soon.

was a bit of a mess.

Well, it wasn't that bad. 😉 But, OK, thanks for the work on this!

Yes, but there are tons of hacks and CSS things I don't even understand ;-)

The new version will have the same look but:

It will have two levels of navigation: when JS is enabled, a sidebar's footer will provide access to several "modes". The default one will be "View Visualizer", but there should be also a "SQL Query" and a "DataVisualization" mode.
Each and every CSS line will be documented
I'll do a better usage of semantic tags and classes

Here is a screenshot of the work in progress (nothing fanzy):

Yes I know the feeling...Eclipse.

The new version is now available. It has the exact same feature set as the previous version, but will be really easier to maintain and extend.
