Separate mod manager logic from GUI

[Yato202010]

It would greatly benefit from separating the mod manager logic from the GUI itself .

• easier to read
• you can more easily rework the UI without having to move a bunch of mod manager logic which can increase the chances of making a mistake
• you can easily make a cli version ( for launching a game without opening the mod manager GUI for exemple, ... )

So you would suggest moving all of the logic that has been worked on to rust and pass it to the gui where needed?

Yeah, that'd be good. Rust for heavy lifting, Tauri for view and clicking stuff.

I didn't mean to move the logic to rust but only to separate it from the GUI ( having a logic module which is completely independent from vue )

If you move to rust completely I have a rough prototype in rust of mod manager core which can use overlayfs but very very work in progress with no released date planned. it was mainly for leaning purpose

It's designed as a core library which provides
Trait definition + some helper + simple vfs manipulation and runner library which implement game specific behaviour and how to start the game / load the modlist / handle dependency / ...
