Here it is! The one you've been waiting for ... urm, just me then 😊

Part 1 of the admin editor for your front-end code is now implemented. More to come in part 2 which is documented in [Issue #46](https://github.com/TotallyInformation/node-red-contrib-uibuilder/issues/43)

The full [changelog is in the WIKI](https://github.com/TotallyInformation/node-red-contrib-uibuilder/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).

* * *

Please see [Issue #43](https://github.com/TotallyInformation/node-red-contrib-uibuilder/issues/43) For the design details for this release.

**Current Version Limitations** As yet there are no parameter checks on the API calls so the following URL's should **never** be exposed to potentially hostile environments (e.g. the Internet): `<adminurl>/uibfiles` , `<adminurl>/uibgetfile` , `<adminurl>/uibputfile` , `<adminurl>/uibindex` . Also, there are currently no checks to prevent you losing changes to edits if you close the admin window.

- **NEW** The node properties window in the admin UI now provides an "Edit Source Files" button. If clicked, the main properties are hidden and a file editor is shown. You can currently select any existing file in the `src` folder for the current instance and edit it. You can then save, reset or close the editor.
  - It is still a little too easy to lose changes by loading a different file or closing the properties window, reloading the interface, etc. More work is needed on the UI to help prevent this.
  - The delete button doesn't currently work.

- **NEW** Add admin API's and start of admin property ui for editing the front-end files in Node-RED.
  - File list API (get `/uiblistfiles` ) gets all files in the instances src folder and populates a select drop-down. File list is rebuilt every time the properties admin ui window is opened. Requires user to have `uibuilder.read` permissions.
  - File read API (get `/uibgetfile` ) reads the content of a file. Restricted to the node instances `src` folder. Requires user to have `uibuilder.read` permissions.
  - File write API (post `/uibputfile` ) writes the updated content of a file. Restricted to the node instances `src` folder. Requires user to have `uibuilder.write` permissions.

- **NEW** The node now tracks how many instances of uibuilder have been added to your flows. It tracks by ID and retains the url used. In a future release, this will be used to ensure that unique URL's are used.
- **NEW** uibuilder index page (only prototype for now, not fully formed)
  - Index page API (get `/uibindex` ) lists all of the main URL's served by all uibuilder node instances in the flows. Requires user to have `uibuilder.read` permissions.

- **CHANGED** Improved logging. Naming is more consistent, don't log to Node-RED log if Winston not used. Include instance url in Winston log line header for clarity. Increase Winston log file size. Logging also improved for debugging uibuilderfe.js.
- **DOCUMENTED** The front-end code for jQuery seems to move about randomly! It is in one of two places, if you get an error with the default location (the `dist` sub-path), remove `dist/` from the url.
- **CHANGED** `package.json` 'pack' script changed to 'packfe' to avoid clash with npm's native pack script.
