looking for a skeletal structure to create an application

[chris5560]

@jow- I would like to start to develop the first applications for your project.

• Dynamic DNS (ddns-scripts)
• Cal-/Carddav server (Radicale)
• WEB Proxy (Privoxy)
• localisation

Could you please offer a skeletal structure where to easily start and how to implement localisation. Many thanks

Hi @chris5560, sorry for the late reply. Right now luci-ng is undergoing a revision on the way pages are wired, and it should be better to wait a bit till the API is more settled before migrating new applications. The idea is to have two ways to define apps:

• "manual" writting of the http/js components, which gives total control of the app
• a simpler and more "automatic" way, with just a .json file describing the configuration. The html will be automatically generated, no code needs to be written.

A very very basic idea of the approach can be found in PR #24

Regarding localization, some more work still needs to be done to finish implementing a functional feature, it is still very much work in progress. I added some helper task that should eventually be used: first run: gulp translate:pot this will generate the template to use as source for translations. You generate your translated .po file and save it in a po/ subdirectory then running: gulp translate:json will generate the file needed to be added to luci. But the problem is that still the interface for loading the translations is not developed yet.
