Minimal htmx-wasm offline prototype #4

Open crispinb opened 1 year ago

crispinb commented 1 year ago

A new approach:

htmx-based 'front end'
with a service worker redirecting REST requests to:
an in-browser WASM intermediary, which:
- converts these to JSON requests, submitted to the Checkvist API
- converts the responses to HTML partials, returned to the f/e
- caches those responses to provide some offline capability

[ ] investigate https://github.com/richardanaya/wasm-service for the htmx / wasm basis
[ ] decide between pure hyper / axum for the wasm part
[ ] view lists (or single list) only spike:
- htmx call to wasm providing canned data
- add real call to checkvist api
- cache the returned data for offline test

Potential issues:

https://web.dev/service-worker-lifecycle/ service workers have a complex lifecycle, so I doubt they can be 100% relied on. eg. force-reload (& sometimes private windows?) skip the service worker, so progressive enhancement is essential
