demo mode

[eroux]

It's quite important we have a public (read-only) demo of the editor by the end of the week. I think it could happen in two steps:

step 1

• on the home page, users have the choice between login and demo
• the /demo path wouldn't require login and would be a separate home page with a static text plus a link to open a demo entity (why not P1583 for instance), and with just the editor (not the outline editor, etc.)
• in the demo mode everything runs as usual except:
  • the PUT request is not done when users hit the save button, instead a message says Demo mode: not actually saving
  • there is a hard coded user profile U0DEMO01 with the necessary values, including the RID prefix 0DEMO

step 2

This one is a bit more difficult to accomplish so perhaps we can save it for later, it would involve:

• copying the current person shapes file in the public/examples/ folder
• copying the focus graph of P1583 there too, as well as a file with the result of the query of associated labels
• isolating the functions that get the URLs of the queries for these 3 things into a configuration file, with the default being something that always fetches the demo files
• documenting how to change these
• having a blmp-client-demo.bdrc.io that is configured in demo mode

step 1 is nearly there: https://editor.bdrc.io/ one issue though with creating new entity it's not possible for now because query to reserve id needs a token (also 0DEMO is not allowed so I set 0DU)

Oh, right! Since it's read-only we don't need the server to reserve an id, we can just pick a random one

Good job!!

ok! seems fine now: https://editor.bdrc.io/
