Hi all,
During an offline discussion with Jerad following modification were
suggested regarding the directory structure of the extension model. All
these changes are subjected to js and css file locations.
*Chart template structure*
|── line-chart
│ ├── css
│ │ └── line-chart.css
│ └── js
│ ├── d3.min.js
│ ├── vega.js
│ └── VizGrammar.min.js
|── config.json
├── api.js
*Changes to the existing model*
- rename index.js to api.js
- rename chart-libs folder to js
- have a css folder in the same level
*Generated gadget structure*
└── test_gadget
│ │ ├── conf.json
│ │ ├── css
│ │ │ └── line-chart.css
│ │ ├── gadget-controller.jag
│ │ ├── gadget.json
│ │ ├── index.png
│ │ ├── index.xml
│ │ └── js
│ │ ├── core
│ │ │ ├── gadget-core.js
│ │ │ ├── line-chart-api.js
│ │ │ └── provider-api.js
│ │ ├── d3.min.js
│ │ ├── vega.js
│ │ └── VizGrammar.min.js
*Changes to the existing model*
- Instead of the *chart-libs* folder inside *js* folder, have a
*core *folder
inside *js *folder and place chart specific js files in js folder
*Folder structure for storing common libs*
portal
|── gadget-commons
├── css
│ └── common.css
└── js
└── common.js
*Changes to the existing model*
- Now we have common libs inside portal/libs/common-chart-libs/
*chart config.json*
"common": {
"js": ["common"],
"css": ["common"]
},
"chart": {
"js": ["d3.min", "vega", "VizGrammar.min"],
"css": ["line-chart"]
}
*existing config.json*
"common-libs" : ["wso2gadgets","chart-utils"],
"chart-libs" : ["d3.min","vega","VizGrammar.min"]
I think this model is cleaner and intuitive than the exiting model.
AFAIK existing wizard is only used for IOT analytics. If there are no
concerns from them shall we move to this new model?
@ Suho, Dunith : WDYT ? Will this incur lot of changes from IOT side?
Appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Tanya
