Any plans to update this library? #30

Open xleon opened 7 years ago

I use django in some projects instead of .NET just to use the admin.
With a tool like this I would get rid of django completely. This project looks great. Is it dead? any plans to continue?

I wouldnt make a stack decision based on this library. I've used it before, but it required some pretty hefty updates.

xleon commented 7 years ago

Of course not. I´m just interested to know if there are any future plans.

Rodbourn commented 7 years ago

It's been pretty stagnant for two'sh years - I wouldnt expect them :)

rgonek commented 7 years ago

I'll definitely still developing it, but unfortunately, a day have only 24 hours :), and lately after work, I've been doing some commercial projects, so I cannot promise anything besides that I'll do something with it.

From good news from the perspective of functionalities I'm a quite close to something that I could call version 1.0, but unfortunately, there is also a lot of bugs.

It's a lovely project. I would love to see it production ready. In a pinch, it is good for very quickly giving an admin CRUD access to a large DB.

xleon commented 7 years ago

It is. I love the idea of Django admin applied to .NET. I seriously don´t understand why nobody else is doing stuff similar to this library. I thought about doing it myself, but as you know, this involves huge amount of time. I would definitely contribute if the project continues.

One question: Why did you choose EntityConfiguration<T> instead of [Attribute()] in the model properties? => That would be more in sync with django

rgonek commented 7 years ago

You can still use attribute configuration, and you can also use this kind of notation: Entity<OrderDetail>.Register().Table("Order Details");

Not using attributes for configuration has one big advantage. If you have an existing project your rather wouldn't like to add attributes to your entities, or maybe even you can do that.

Having a few ways to do the same thing makes confusion, so it'll be probably a good idea to make it pluggable. For example, to be able to use attribute configuration you would have to include IlaroAdmin.AttributesConfiguration.dll

Yeah, that makes sense from a .NET perspective. POCOs could not be used for anything else.
