Represent within-task state in URL #27

Closed gertvv closed 9 years ago

gertvv commented 11 years ago

Within-task state should be serialized to the URL so that the back-button doesn't break and users can link to specific steps.

The common way of doing seems to be serializing to json, compressing (and then possibly encoding in base64). See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Base64_encoding_and_decoding and https://github.com/pieroxy/lz-string/

Why did you close this?

joelkuiper commented 9 years ago

It was a bit of an effort/worth trade-off. If we truly want this we need to pass the entire state as a query param (and somehow merge this with remote and local storage and the hidden state in the wizard steps). This would mean major rewrites of the application for a rather obscure feature.
