New Vue-based UI (Alpha)
------------------------

With 2.7.0, pywb introduces a new `Vue UI <https://vuejs.org/>`_ based system, which can be enabled to provide a more feature-representation of a web archive.

The UI consists of two parts, which can be enabled using the ``ui`` block in ``config.yaml``

.. code::  yaml

  ui:
    vue_calendar_ui: true
    vue_timeline_banner: true


Note: This UI is still in development and not all features are operational yet.
In particular, localization switching is not yet available in the alpha version.

Calendar UI
^^^^^^^^^^^

The new calendar UI provides a histogram and a clickable calendar representation of a web archive.

The calendar is rendered in place of the standard URL query page.

To enable this UI for URL query pages, set the ``ui.vue_calendar_ui`` property to true in the ``config.yaml``


Banner Replay UI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The new banner histogram allows for zooming in on captures per year as well as per month.

Navigation preserves the different levels. The full calendar UI is also available as a dropdown by clicking the calendar icon.

The new banner should allow for faster navigation across multiple captures.


To enable this UI for replay pages, set the ``ui.vue_timeline_banner`` property to true in the ``config.yaml``


Custom Logo
^^^^^^^^^^^

When using the custom banner, it is possible to configure a logo by setting ``ui.logo`` to a static file.

If ommitted, the standard pywb logo will be used instead.
