Add a UI fronting it. #7

Open kaushalmall opened 8 years ago

kaushalmall commented 8 years ago

People can use the UI or the CLI. Their choice.

This will be done in the UI feature branch -- I'll post some UI mockups for approval.

image @kaushalmall here's a rough draft -- would this be a sufficient starting point or is it overkill? :)

badvision commented 8 years ago

Issues #1 and #4 are captured in the packages search (middle section) -- as for not installing packages already installed; it might make sense to have a visual indicator but not outright prevent it. It's a known issue that some feature packs overwrite hotfixes so a valid use of this tool is to re-apply hotfixes in a given order.

@badvision I love the UI. But, it is light years ahead of the current functionality :-). It almost seems like a different project. I'd love to add all of these eventually though.

That's why I put it in a feature branch. My goal is to start doing light refactoring of the existing code to support both experiences. Then I can keep merging in the new functionality to this branch until it's actually working. I did something similar in this dual command-line/UI project here: https://github.com/badvision/piface-integrator

Current state, AEM Connection part is wired up and working. UI can now start up, and everything resizes with the window.

Oh snap! Now Package Share authentication is working! image

The second panel is 50% done now: You can select product versions and the list of hotfixes per version is getting scraped mostly well.

You can now click "Add Selected" and the selected packages are added to the table on the right side. It doesn't look like much but under-the-hood I reorganized a lot of the code to track the application state in a clean and simple way. This also can support the requirements of the console-based functionality. Once I've merged the code with the console-facing code I can roll this to the main branch.
