Kailash Nadh 942eb7c3d8 Add settings UI and "hot reload" support to the app. 
This is a major breaking change that moves away from having the
entire app configuration in external TOML files to settings being
in the database with a UI to update them dynamically.

The app loads all config into memory (app settings, SMTP conf)
on boot. "Hot" replacing them is complex and it's a fair tradeoff
to instead just restart the application as it is practically
instant.

A new `settings` table stores arbitrary string keys with a JSONB
value field which happens to support arbitrary types. After every
settings update, the app gracefully releases all resources
(HTTP server, DB pool, SMTP pool etc.) and restarts itself,
occupying the same PID. If there are any running campaigns, the
auto-restart doesn't happen and the user is prompted to invoke
it manually with a one-click button once all running campaigns
have been paused.

README.md

listmonk frontend (Vue + Buefy)

It's best if the listmonk/frontend directory is opened in an IDE as a separate project where the frontend directory is the root of the project.

For developer setup instructions, refer to the main project's README.

Globals

main.js is where Buefy is injected globally into Vue. In addition two controllers, $api (collection of API calls from api/index.js), $utils (util functions from util.js), $serverConfig (loaded form /api/config.js) are also attached globaly to Vue. They are accessible within Vue as this.$api and this.$utils.

Some constants are defined in constants.js.

APIs and states

The project uses a global vuex state to centrally store the responses to pretty much all APIs (eg: fetch lists, campaigns etc.) except for a few exceptions. These are called models and have been defined in constants.js. The definitions are in store/index.js.

There is a global state loading (eg: loading.campaigns, loading.lists) that indicates whether an API call for that particular "model" is running. This can be used anywhere in the project to show loading spinners for instance. All the API definitions are in api/index.js. It also describes how each API call sets the global loading status alongside storing the API responses.

IMPORTANT: All JSON field names in GET API responses are automatically camel-cased when they're pulled for the sake of consistentcy in the frontend code and for complying with the linter spec in the project (Vue/AirBnB schema). For example, content_type becomes contentType. When sending responses to the backend, however, they should be snake-cased manually.

Icon pack

Buefy by default uses Material Design Icons (MDI) with icon classes prefixed by mdi-.

listmonk uses only a handful of icons from the massive MDI set packed as web font, using Fontello. To add more icons to the set using fontello:

  • Go to Fontello and drag and drop frontend/fontello/config.json (This is the full MDI set converted from TTF to SVG icons to work with Fontello).
  • Use the UI to search for icons and add them to the selection (add icons from under the Custom section)
  • Download the Fontello pack and from the ZIP:
    • Copy and overwrite config.json to frontend/fontello
    • Copy fontello.woff2 to frontend/src/assets/icons.
    • Open css/fontello.css and copy the individual icon definitions and overwrite the ones in frontend/src/assets/icons/fontello.css
