Permalinks Feature - Abel

[abelpz]

Stage 1:

Added base permalink functionality.

• The application loads the state from local and then compares it with the URL and, if there is a partial match, it uses the data from the local and loads the rest from the DCS API.
• App listens for the context state change and changes the permalink accordingly if necessary (if the user interacts with the ApplicationStepper component the URL will change accordingly).
• A feature has been added to allow TSVs to be searchable via URL queries.

To do:

• Enable the app to navigate back and load previous state from History.state.
• Improve performance, and perception of performance (partial rendering of the layout until all data is loaded).

Great Job adding this feature. Looking for things that stood out.
We found some useEffects and useCallbacks that used objects and arrays in dependencies which should use the DeepCompare versions

Looking good!
Exciting to see this feature added.

There is a lot more code added here that seems tied to implementation of the DCS API that was autogenerated by Gitea. What are your thoughts on creating a DCS API React Hooks library that can abstract all of the related hooks? A feature like this should be reusable in other apps and not limited to just this app.

Would like to schedule a meeting to discuss the DCS-API and how that avoids conflicts with the GiteaReactToolkit that is already implemented.

We can also discuss how we might start abstracting the DCS-API hooks so that we can use them in other apps.

Again, Great job!
