Framework update - work in progress - 1

JMT Framework update

This project is a working base for the new framework - to experiment and examine approaches. It may be discarded and replaced at any time.

Plans:

Technology	Implementation
Ruby version	2.3.0
Rails version	5
ActiveRecord	Sequel
Database	Postgresql (9.5)
Grid	ag-grid
Dataminer	New gem
Authentication	Basic (has_secure_password)
Authorization	Custom (based on rules in existing system)
Navigation	3-level menu (responsive)
UI Portal	Without using iframes

Thoughts:

• Env vars for settings
• Build in concept of live and test versions - test version must always stand out in UI.
• Scaled down solution for MVVM-type interactions in UI. Declarative modes of getting e.g. items summed up to totals.
• Implement current_user
• Remove sequel-rails; use only activemodel POROs... deal in arrays and hashes; model properties?
• Sessions - Configurable - for internet, should expire on browser close, for intranet not.
• Store timer in local storage of browser - warn on all tabs about session expiry in a notification (5 mins before and countdown).
• Repository pattern for data.

Questions

• Do we want sessions to expire?
• Should a user remain logged-in if they close the browser without logging out?
