Things I migth consider adding in future PR:
Porting IRC to VueUI
Porting File Manager to VueUI.
This PR is depending on #4868 for it's ui framework. This PR mostly makes new SSrecords subsystem responsible for storing records. This should replace old datacore.
Make new SSrecords.
Make things use SSrecords and whole code compile
Made VueUi button <vui-button> to push parameters as JSON, preserving client side data stricture.
Add new records console and admin record management.
I am mostly looking for feedback regarding SSrecords and it's data storage mechanism criticism (It's using lists for storage)
This PR will lead us towards the Promised Day, for in its wake there shall be much celebration and ecstasy as this world becomes a world suitable for developer hegemony. The first strike is thusly;
All << is converted into to_chat().
So apparently when conditions are right it could make infinite loop (client push -> server receive -> server push -> client receive -> client push...) killing client and server performance.
<vui-button> now pushes data as JSON, this preserves data structure of parameters
Store now won't allow state to be pushed if it was very recently received
There was a plausibly for vueui/Topic() to push data twice, hindering performance. This was mitigated by taking in to consideration object Topic return value if data should pushed.
Separated some code in to separate file for future reusal or programical uses.
This UI is going to be more integrated with BYOND host objects. It's update principal is very different from nanoui's. It is based around state that is being synchronized with server and client (browser). Such synchronization has it's problems, like it can't handle rapid changes, what could cause client and server to become out of sync and client state to be discard.
