Re: [aerogear-dev] Revisiting the TODO app
Yes, the intent here is to not hit the server for every UI change. Basically, all the
stored value is used for is to decide whether or not to show certain UI elements. Anything
actually accessing "secure" data hits the server first and security is enforced
at that point. Yes, someone could change that value and get access to the "Add
Tag" form for example. IMO, that is not a big deal because as soon as they try to
actually create the tag, they get a 401, an error is displayed and the tag is not created.
If this is not the case, let me know and I can fix it but that was the intent.

I think part of the idea here was to limit the requests to the
server. Although this app was created when the libs were in flux. It is probably more
correct in terms of security to "phone home" , that is until we have some sort
of encryption client side, maybe

possible to remove roles and loggedIn attributes from app.js. Why? Currently the access
control trusts on local storage
(https://github.com/danbev/TODO/blob/master/client/src/main/webapp/js/app....) and not
on HTTP status responses from the server (correct me if I'm saying something wrong
here) and in nowadays "loggedIn" should be considered useless, because we will
trust on HTTP sessions.
