Describes the building blocks of a new GeoNetwork client app.
Define the base rules of a new client application for GeoNetwork. Choose libraries and start setting up the project.
- AngularJS EOL is 2021
- Improve performances - we know why and how the client app can be faster eg. watchers, incremental DOM
- Make GeoNetwork easier to embed in a third party app eg. with shadow DOM
- …
- Quite some years on overlaying features over features - all can be simplified
- Nobody is using JSLint … probably because not mandatory or lazy devs ;)
- Reminder: all devs are lazy by definition
- WRO4J works but is effectively a completely custom, hand-made bundler which is hard to maintain (written in Java for frontend devs…), based on old assumptions, and has such a large role in the build that it is almost impossible to get rid of
- Define UI design templates, so pages look as unified as possible across the application.
- 2 notification systems
- No component testing
- No strict encapsulation of components (either scopes or styles), scopes are shared between many components eg. the search directive => this also means components are not really reusable outside of the standard UI
- No type checking
- Using Jquery and Bootstrap means putting the app in a shadow dom is not feasible
- No centralized state management
- Improve the current asynchronous code to retrieve the information from the catalog that is needed in the UI.
- UI configuration - how much config options? Good defaults? Merge a custom one with the defaults
- …
- Performances
- Embedable
Results will be presented during GeoNetwork online user meeting 23 June 2020
