Add save/load FrontEditor Pack (.fep files)

[supremacia]

This proposal adds the ability to save and load files with Fronteditor data in an encrypted (more secure) package to be distributed or kept.

This ensures that data is preserved even if the browser crashes or is deleted. It also facilitates the distribution of codes, for example among students of tutorials or online courses.

Usage

Click on the gear icon and choose "save or load Fepack", enter the password (required) and that's it.

When loading a file, there is also the option of replacing the data for the current path (url/path) or creating a new path from the loaded Fepack configuration. Each saved Fepack file records the current path in its settings. With that, you can open this file in any browser and continue using the same path as the original project.

Fepack file

In this initial version, the file is created as a JSON as described below:

{
   "path": "path/to/project",
   "data": {
     "html": "... html data...",
     "css": "... css data...",
     "javascript": "... javascript data...",
     "markdown": "... markdown data..."
   }
}

Transformed into a string (JSON.stringify), it is encrypted with AES (256) and saved as a base64 string.

The ".fep" extension is used to indicate the type of [F]ront[E]ditor [P]ack file. The file name is exactly the pathname of the project added with the date and time and with the extension ".fep".

Examples:

• Url in browser: https://fronteditor.dev/project
• Date at the time of saving: 07/12/2023 23:45:09
• Generated file: project-20230712234509.fep

Project/other

• Url in browser: https://fronteditor.dev/project/other
• Date at the time of saving: 07/12/2023 23:45:09
• Generated file: project-other-20230712234509.fep

To Do

No significant changes were made to the design layer of the original project. In this version, I preferred to use native browser tools (alert, prompt, confirm), leaving it up to the person responsible for the project's design to add these necessary functions (modals, notifications, etc).

Attached I am sending a sample file (zipped by Github requirement) to be uploaded and serve as a test base for this feature. Data on code authorship and original repository can be found in the "MD" (markdown) tab.

Future:

• Add display showing all projects stored in localStore as clickable index
• Use serviceworker to manage cache for offline access, push notification (eg when new study projects are created in RocketSeat)
• Update to the latest version of Monaco (and other packs)

Well, I think this addition will come in handy!
