Depending on how the webapp was started up and whether the user clicked on
any links in it, window.close() may be disallowed by browser security
policy. Also if that fails, display a modal dialog that nicely blackens out
the webapp.
TODO: avoid Escape closing it. Bootstrap's docs are unclear about how to do
that.
This may be customised differently than the main page later on, but
for now the important thing is that this constantly refreshed page does not
allocate a new NotificationHandle each time it's loaded.
Very happy to have a reusable autoUpdate widget that can make any Yesod
widget automatically refresh!
Also added support for non-javascript browsers, falling back to meta
refresh.
Also, the home page is now rendered with the webapp status on it, before
any refreshing is done.
The webapp is now a constantly updating clock! I accomplished this amazing
feat using "long polling", with some jquery and a little custom java
script.
There are more modern techniques, but this one works everywhere.
Broke hamlet out into standalone files.
I don't like the favicon display; it should be served from /favicon.ico,
but I could only get the static site to serve /static/favicon.ico, so
I had to use a <link rel=icon> to pull it in. I looked at
Yesod.Default.Handlers.getFaviconR, but it doesn't seem to embed
the favicon into the binary?
