VZE: Choose an admin theme/library system using React #81

Closed mateoclarke closed 5 years ago

mateoclarke commented 5 years ago

We're planning to use a decoupled client for the VZE frontend. We'd like to keep using React as our FE development framework.

We need to identify, experiment and implement an admin theme/system to facilitate a quick build.

72 has some listed pages/stories we'd need to build...

searchable/filterable/sortable tables is important, but maybe thats a secondary library and not the admin theme itself.

Some options so far:

sb admin 2
sb-admin-react
react-admin
React-Bootstrap-with-Material-Design
- admin theme template
- live example
react-material-admin - @mddilley
core-ui-react - @sergiogcx
ant-design-pro
- live preview
Vibe w/ reactstrap - @mateoclarke

Important questions for us are:

how easy is it to add in data from (and push data to) a GraphQL API
how many of their component building blocks/themes solve our problems (ex: tables with search, sort, filter)
how much can we customize components or modify them without going off the rails.
adding in custom geospatial UIs
open source compatibility

After a careful debate, we decided for CoreUI. The main considerations was on how easy it was to customize, load data, and best patterns for development. CoreUI was the clear winner.

Closing Issue.
