[pdm-devel] [PATCH datacenter-manager/proxmox/yew-comp v2 00/10] add support for checking acl permissions in (yew) front-ends

[Shannon Sterz]

this patch series adds support for querying acl entries from the
front-end. it also makes it possible to reactively render ui components
depending on the user's privileges and refreshes this information every
time a new ticket is set.

the first four patches make it possible to use the AclTree by itself in
the ui. first by creating a new feature that exposes only it and some
types to dependent crates. then some functions that basically just query
the AclTree are moved to the AclTree itself to make it easier to re-use
them. the third patch derives Debug and PartialEq on the AclTree and
AclTreeNode to make it easier to handle these types in the ui. finally
the last commit allows to query all of a user's acl entries via the
API_METHOD_READ_ACL endpoint.

the next two patches first add an AclContext and AclContextProvider
implementation to proxmox-yew-comp. these allow applications to provide
acl information that components can hook into and get reactively
re-rendered. it also triggers reloading the acl information every time a
user logs in or a ticket gets refreshed.

lastly, proxmox-datacenter-manager is adapted to use this new
functionality. the seventh commit moves the AccessControlConfig to the
shared api types crate, so we can re-use it in the front-end. then an
AclContextProvider is added to the main ui component. this allows
components to retrieve said AclContext and use it to conditionally
render ui components. the second to last commit add just such
functionality to the notes section of the pdm ui.

the very last commit is more of a clean-up that i stumbled accross while
implementing this series and could be applied separatelly.

Follow-up
---------

if this series is applied, more ui components will need to be hooked
into the context to more widely use this functionality accross the
application.

Changelog
---------

note that there was already a v2 [1] of this series, but this was a mistake
and should be considered a v1. sorry for the confusion.

changes since v1:

- move removing a use line to the right commit (thanks @ Dominik Csapak)
- instead of adapting the NodesView, simply avoid setting an on_submit
  callback if the user doesn't have the permissions (thanks @ Dominik
  Csapak)
