Extending / customizing dashboard API calls

[marbetschar]

There should be a way of customizing or extending API calls which are made from the dashboard. So a API developer gets a convinient way of adding some sort of security checks or login functionality to the dashboard, without touching the Taffy core.

This afterwards allows a dashboard user to try even protected API calls.

Sounds good to me.

Any idea on how we may achieve this?

My first thought is along the same lines as onTaffyRequest, which they could override in Application.cfc to respond to the event. Either that or we'd have to require a new object. I'd say let's go with the Application.cfc approach unless and until it starts to look like it's going to be so complicated that it will make a mess of Application.cfc. Sound good?

The approach sounds fine to me - hopefully I get some time soon to digg into it further.
