Account for changes to `packageName` field on backend #177

Open pkalita-lbl opened 1 week ago

pkalita-lbl commented 1 week ago

Part of the proposed changes for https://github.com/microbiomedata/nmdc-server/issues/1367 is changing the packageName field of a submission object from a string to an array of strings. This will break certain things in the app. We need to sort out:

  1. How the app will handle this change. What would it look like to fully support creating, displaying, and updating studies that use multiple environment templates? Is it simpler to continue to only support a single environment template in the app?
  2. How will we coordinate releasing app changes along with the backend changes? Is it possible to update the app to work with either a string or array of strings in packagename and release that change ahead of the backend changes?
