Remove need to refresh after editing node in UI

Opened this issue · 1 comments

The current behaviour is that after you edit any node values, the page refreshes and all nodes are collapsed. This makes it tedious you have to edit several values using the interface that are deeply nested since you will have to re-open all those nodes again.

I've taken a look on this issue. However, I found the front-end was really old. The library "dynatree" is deprecated. Also, it's difficult to test the UI (I have to redeploy and restart exhibitor locally to see the changes).

Perhaps it would be better to rewrite the front-end. Maybe use react and redux. I will open another issue for the rewriting.
