I firmly believe in free software.
The application I'm making here have capabilities that I've not seen in
any system. It presents itself as an opportunity to collaborate on a
tool that serves the people rather than corporations. Whose incentives
are to help people rather, not make the most money. And whose terms
ensure that these freedoms and incentives cannot be taken back or
subverted.
I license this software under the AGPL.
Rename the base Entity type to ApiEntity, and the base EntityToombstone
to ApiTombstone to better reflect the reality that its only used in the
API interface and that the client and server types uses its own base if
any.
Remove EntityLiving and pull EntityTombstone out of of the base entity
type so that the types based on ApiEntity are always living entities and
if it's possible for it to contain tombstone this will be explicitly
told with the type including a union with ApiTombstone.
Refactor the types of the ClientEntity and ClientMap to better reflect
the types of the entities it stores and converts to/from.
Use a single mutable location, event, slot, etc, for each unique
resource that keeps track of the local editable client copy and
the server copy of the data contained in it.
This makes it much simpler to update these data structures as I can take
advantage of the v-model bindings in Vue.js and work with the system
instead of against it.
Move the logic that converts the EntityClass of a map to a string and
then back into the class to the payload plugin in order to avoid a
circular dependency where the ClientMap needs to know the entity classes
and the entity classes needs to know the ClientMap.
The only place that doesn't know the type of the entities stored in the
client map is the payload reviver, so it makes sense to keep this logic
contained to the payload plugin.
Create a simple Map like class for storing and keeping track of client
entities that are synced from the server and have local editable state.
This will form the basis for storing entities on the client and should
replace the immutable concept used be the ClientSchedule class.
