AlphOne 0.10.0

AlphOne lets an operator define contact fields at runtime, with no rebuild and no release.

Added

• Contact fields defined from the Fields screen on a running server, in six kinds: Text, Long text, Number, Yes or no, Date and Choice. See Fields.
• Every field becomes a real field on Contact in the GraphQL API under the name you chose, so { contacts { edges { node { name birthDate } } } } answers a moment after you save it.
• A Fields panel on the contact screen edits the values, each checked against the kind its definition declares.
• Archiving a field takes it out of the schema and the screen at once and keeps its stored values, so defining it again with the same name and kind brings them back.
• A plugin can contribute a panel to the contact screen through the frontend SDK.
• make dev-watch rebuilds and restarts the server on save.

Notes

• internal/dyngraph widens the compiled schema with the fields a plugin declares and rewrites each incoming query onto a carrier field the generated executor already knows.
• Core keeps name as the one fixed contact field. The catalogue, the values, the admin screen and the seed are all the fields plugin.
• The kind cannot be changed once a field exists, because stored values would no longer fit.
• Choice holds a short line for now. A fixed option list is a later release.
• The plugin migrates itself on start, so an existing install needs no action.
• Sorting or filtering the contact list by a field, and importing CSV columns onto fields, are not in this release.
