Hi devs,
Following the vote on
http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2014-September/057560.html I
started working on a generic tree widget based on jsTree. I'm almost
done now and I'm wondering where's the best place to commit my work.
There are 3 parts:
(1) A generic JavaScript tree widget (used by all trees)
The common practice so far was to put the new JavaScript code in
xwiki-platform-web (resources/uicomponents). But since we started
using webjars I'm wondering if it's not better to create a webjar. The
advantage is that the applications will be able to explicitly declare
a dependency on the tree widget. The downside is that the JavaScript
code is a bit harder to modify. Another option is to put the tree
widget in a JSX object but we may need to use it in Velocity templates
also (e.g. the report step of the DW).
I prefer the webjar.
+1 for webjar
(2) A couple of wiki pages that define specific trees:
* One page for the All Docs Tree (space-page-child)
* One page for the XWiki Entity Tree
(wiki-space-page-[translations|attachments|objects|properties|sections])
* One page for the Hierarchy Tree (page-child)
* One page for the XAR import tree (space-page)
* others later maybe
I'm hesitating between creating a dedicated module
(xwiki-platform-tree-ui) and putting them in existing modules like the
xwiki-platform-index.
I really don't like too much grouping pages based on a technical
criteria (xwiki-platform-panels-ui is very bad) so my vote goes to
putting those pages where their content make sense. So that's probably
xwiki-platform-index for most of them. However there is something I
don't understand here, how is the import UI which is a template is
supposed to work without the XAR import tree (which will happen in an
empty wiki) ?
Indeed, the XAR import tree must be defined in a Velocity template. I
shouldn't have put it in the list above.
I also prefer putting the pages that define specific trees in the
module that match their domain. Now, I will also create a wiki macro
{{tree source="doc:Space.MyTree" /}}
but I guess I will put this macro in xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-tree.
Thanks,
Marius
(3) A couple of jobs (Java code) to perform tree operations that can
take time, like deleting or renaming a space.
For these I could use the xwiki-platform-refactoring module since they
are generic operations, not limited to trees. We have a Delete space
entry in the top menu and we probably want a Rename space one.
xwiki-platform-refactoring sounds good
WDYT?
Thanks,
Marius
