* This commit abstracts access to the object `rootInterface()?.config?` into a single accessor,
`authentikConfig`, that can be mixed into any AKElement object that requires access to it.
Since access to `rootInterface()?.config?` is _universally_ used for a single (and repetitive)
boolean check, a separate accessor has been provided that converts all calls of the form:
``` javascript
rootInterface()?.config?.capabilities.includes(CapabilitiesEnum.CanImpersonate)
```
into:
``` javascript
this.can(CapabilitiesEnum.CanImpersonate)
```
It does this via a Mixin, `WithCapabilitiesConfig`, which understands that these calls only make
sense in the context of a running, fully configured authentik instance, and that their purpose is to
inform authentik components of a user’s capabilities. The latter is why I don’t feel uncomfortable
turning a function call into a method; we should make it explicit that this is a relationship
between components.
The mixin has a single single field, `[WCC.capabilitiesConfig]`, where its association with the
upper-level configuration is made. If that syntax looks peculiar to you, good! I’ve used an explict
unique symbol as the field name; it is inaccessable an innumerable in the object list. The debugger
shows it only as:
Symbol(): {
cacheTimeout: 300
cacheTimeoutFlows: 300
cacheTimeoutPolicies: 300
cacheTimeoutReputation: 300
capabilities: (5) ['can_save_media', 'can_geo_ip', 'can_impersonate', 'can_debug', 'is_enterprise']
}
Since you can’t reference it by identity, you can’t write to it. Until every browser supports actual
private fields, this is the best we can do; it does guarantee that field name collisions are
impossible, which is a win.
The mixin takes a second optional boolean; setting this to true will cause any web component using
the mixin to automatically schedule a re-render if the capabilities list changes.
The mixin is also generic; despite the "...into a Lit-Context" in the title, the internals of the
Mixin can be replaced with anything so long as the signature of `.can()` is preserved.
Because this work builds off the work I did to give the Sidebar access to the configuration without
ad-hoc retrieval or prop-drilling, it wasn’t necessary to create a new context for it. That will be
necessary for the following:
TODO:
``` javascript
rootInterface()?.uiConfig;
rootInterface()?.tenant;
me();
```

This commit:
- Deletes a bit of code.
- Extracts *all* of the Locale logic into a single folder, turns management of the Locale files over
to Lit itself, and restricts our responsibility to setting the locale on startup and when the user
changes the locale. We do this by converting a lot of internal calls into events; a request to
change a locale isn't a function call, it's an event emitted asking `REQUEST_LOCALE_CHANGE`. We've
even eliminated the `DETECT_LOCALE_CHANGE` event, which redrew elements with text in them, since
Lit's own `@localized()` decorator does that for us automagically.
- We wrap our interfaces in an `ak-locale-context` that handles the startup and listens for the
`REQUEST_LOCALE_CHANGE` event.
- ... and that's pretty much it. Adding `@localized()` as a default behavior to `AKElement` means
no more custom localization is needed *anywhere*.
* web: improve the localization experience
This commit fixes the Storybook story for the localization context component,
and fixes the localization initialization pass so that it is only called once
per interface environment initialization. Since all our interfaces share the
same environment (the Django server), this preserves functionality across
all interfaces.
