Before 16.0 and the website-in-backend refactoring made at [1], the
publish button of the frontend had this behavior:
- The record is unpublished
- Click on the publish button -> a rpc to publish is sent but the
switch visual state is not updated (the internal checkbox is still
unchecked)
- The rpc comes back with the response -> the switch visual state is
updated (red -> green)
This is actually the behavior since the bug fix made at [2]. The main
point of this commit was to prevent toggling the checkbox while its
javascript behavior was not initialized yet.
From 16.0, that loading problem is not an issue anymore, as the publish
button is instantiated client side and thus only appears when it is
possible to use. We can thus update the visual switch state as soon as
the user click on it for a better UX. However, that was flawed:
1. If the publish action actually failed, the switch was kept
checked/unchecked while it should be reverted to unchecked/checked.
2. If you clicked very fast multiple times on the button, many RPC were
sent and their result order was not guaranteed.
3. There is no possibility for tours to wait for the actual publish
action to be done... and that will be needed in a further commit of
this PR.
This commit fixes all those flaws:
1. If the RPC fails, we now revert to the status before the user clicked
on it. Inspired by [2], the internal checkbox is now disabled, which
leaves its status entirely up to OWL instead of browser behaviors.
2. The switch now stops listening to clicks while a RPC is being
performed.
3. While a RPC is being performed a "data-processing" attribute is added
to the whole switch area.
Note: in master, the whole switch system should be reviewed. The publish
button one's structure actually makes no sense: a <div> which contains a
<a> which contains a <label> (already invalid DOM), with the <div> being
the event handler of the switch status changes...
