dynamically set tab navbar (based on API Namespace data from server) #1

Open donrestarone opened 2 years ago

donrestarone commented 2 years ago

when the app loads it should make a call to Violet Rails API Namespace (based on the app root) to the VioletRailsAppContext namespace which returns an object that describes how to set the navigation in the app (currently it is hard-coded).
