TODOs

General

• we need the ability to have multiple template directories.
• develop a django-css independent theme for the admin.
• better 404 handling
• better 500 handling

edit functionality:

• edit-list (which fields can we edit) -> unlike in django, we have no access to the model completely, however, we also do not have to care.
• widgets (how fields are rendered in the edit form) -> how would i create widgets? programmatically? in templates? -> maybe even both approaches available? -> need a list of MVP widgets, and a way to extend them. -> widgets should be groupable. -> taking a look at djangos solution! -> are there any smart json data => form things out there?
• validation. -> client side as well? fomantic has it. -> existing solutions? -> transparent way to display error messages at the appropriate field (probably adding results into responses) -> handling: "required" -> handling: "invalid" -> example implementation: invalid(max-length)

auth:

• user model.
• auth middleware.
• message the user. -> messaging system

Widgets

In the widget section, we need to add more abilities to adjust attributes of html elements directly. Probably options should be transmitted via JSON data.

Form Foomatics

• multi-item form fields (as in multiple inputs for one field, or multiple fields inside one field)

  <div class="field">
     <label>Field Summary</label>
     <div class="two fields">
        <div class="field">
           <input>...</input>
        </div>
     </div>
  </div>

Error System for Repository

Repository needs a good error system, and Results instead of just returning data; These errors should encompass:

• Validation Errors: these should allow forms to display issues, but not disrupt the flow
• Wrong Data / Not Authorized and other 400 base
• Not Found Error: for 404s
• Internal Errors: for 500s

Repository functions also need to be redesigned to be Results.
