rm-js-req TODOs
Goals
TODO Remove the javascipt requirement (so that all urls can be viewed without javascript)
TODO Only generate one version of the site
TODO Have SPA functionality when javascript is enabled
Implementation
In order to implement this, a reasonable size refactor needs to take place. Below is a list of things to be completed in order to successfully achieve the aforementioned goals.
TODO Generate nav with href pointing to normal urls, not virtual ones
(Eg. /pages/blog.html instead of #/blog.html)
TODO Modify URLs using javascript once page is loaded
If it is indeed enabled then the user can benefit from the SPA functionality of the site. Otherwise they will be able to browse the site using the original, unmodified links. This is similar to how the link withing the page-content div work currently, and mainly would have to be adapted for the navigation.
TODO Generate pages/* to /
Instead of having the default version
TODO Generate complete pages (no snippets)
The enhanced javascipt additions to the site will then have to extract the page-content div before loading it into the page.
Benefits
This refactor will have a couple added benefits. Namely:
- The RSS feed which is currently slightly broken for the js version of the site will now function properly with no modification. The current issue with the RSS feed is that the links to the posts are to the snippets instead of the virtual address (Eg. /posts/some-post.html instead of /#/posts/some-post.html).
- Having two files for every post is bad for search engines (SEO).
