Replace http-proxy server with BrowserSync proxy (docker development)

[Raruto]

BrowserSync already comes with a proxy server, so:

• make use of built in browser-sync proxy server within gulpfile.js
• remove useless deprecate variable G3W_PROXY_ROUTES within config.template.js
• remove gulp task plugins
• refactor gulp task g3w-admin:plugins
• refactor gulp task select-plugins

Refactor and simply vendors build chain:

• remove src/assets/vendors/index.css.html
• remove src/assets/vendors/index.js.html
• remove src/index.dev.html
• rename src/index.prod.html into src/index.html
• deprecate config.template.js variables (distFolder, clientFolder, admin_static_folder, admin_templates_folder)
• add new variable within config.template.js (admin_overrides_folder) and
• add new variable within gulpfile.js (outputFolder) in order to properly handle dev and build tasks

Handle local developed plugins:

• add new variable within config.template.js (devConfig)
• deprecate variable within config.template.js (createProject)
• deprecate variable within config.template.js (setCurrentProject)
• automatically toggle class="skin-blue" on body tag (dev environment)
• refactor function ApplicationService::obtainInitConfig() and
• move require('app/dev') into src/app/main.js (application entry point)
• remove mandatory gid and baseurl options within G3W_PLUGINS
  • convert variable G3W_PLUGINS into array (list of locally developed plugins) (ref. config.template.js)
  • automatically assing gid and baseurl parameter for all locally developed plugins (ref: src/app/dev/index.js)

How to test:

Update your config.js file as per 516f734:

 admin_plugins_folder:   '../g3w-admin/g3w-admin',                         // path to G3W-ADMIN where are stored all plugin folders 
 admin_overrides_folder: '../g3w-suite-docker/config/g3w-suite/overrides', // path to G3W-SUITE overrides folder 

Add the following lines at the top of your g3w-suite-docker/config/g3w-suite/settings_docker.py file

#
# see: https://github.com/g3w-suite/g3w-suite-docker/pull/62
#
settings.TEMPLATES[0]['DIRS'].append(os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, '../../templates')) # /code/templates
settings.STATICFILES_DIRS.append(os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, '../../static'))        # /code/static

Run (and test) the following scripts:

npm run dev
npm run build
npm run build:plugins

Check that the following rules apply while developing:

# EXAMPLE 1:
# project_group = "countries";
# project_type  = "qdjango";
# project_id    = "1"

http://localhost:8000/en/map/countries/qdjango/1 # g3w-admin  (production)
http://localhost:3000/en/map/countries/qdjango/1 # g3w-client (development)

g3w-suite-docker/config/g3w-suite/overrides/static    # output path for static files (css, js, fonts, ...)
g3w-suite-docker/config/g3w-suite/overrides/templates # output path for templates files (index.html)
