Previously, Items were displayed in one page, named DetailPage.qml.
This page then would load a qml component, based on the page type. It
also contained some components common for each detail page, like
displaying the name of the item. This construction had as downside that
modifying the page properties, adding a pulley menu or basing the page
around a SilicaListview was not possible. So I already had created some
other pages.
The new construction uses a base page, named BaseDetailPage which does
set some common properties and handle the loading of the items, so that
that part does not have to be duplicated. Displaying the name of an item
was a very trivial thing to do, so duplicating that part across files
was not a problem. Anyway, the rest of the pages are now seperate, but
all have BaseDetailsPage as the root, so they can use the common
functionality by that page. Those subpages now can be based around
GridViews, Carrousels, have pully menus and so on. To determine to which
page to go to, based on the content type, a function named getPageUrl
has been added to Utils.js, which takes a content type as argument and
gives the page url back.
* There is a basic collection page, allowing the user to browse through
collections. It has a sort function, that sort of works
* Item cards now show a bar indicating play time
* Item cards now have a black/white (depending on theme) shim, improving
readability.
* The resume watching section now actually loads items
* Pressing the logout button now brings the setup page up again
* Removing a server and readding one of which the hash of the address
has a higher value than the previous one does no longer cause the
application to request a login each time you open it.
* The method for deciding if the user is in setup has been changed. It
now checks if a page in the pageStack has the property _isSetupPage,
which works better than manually keeping track of state.
Features so far:
- Login is working, both on back-end and GUI-wise
- Saving and reusing login tokens is working
- The home page is mostly functional
- Show details can be received and displayed in a basic manner
Following features are taken into account, but have not been fully
implemented:
- Support for multiple accounts/servers
- Securely saving login tokens
