> Key: CLIMATE-492
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-492
> Project: Apache Open Climate Workbench
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: webapp
> Affects Versions: 0.3-incubating
> Reporter: Michael Joyce
> Assignee: Michael Joyce
> Fix For: 0.4

> There are a number of issues focused on UI improvements (CLIMATE-378,
> CLIMATE-377, CLIMATE-355) that I'm going to group under a single umbrella
> issue.
> At the moment, we have issues with managing and updating dependencies for the
> frontend since all libraries are managed manually. This also causes a lot of
> bloat in the repo since we're checking in a ton of JavaScript dependencies
> that don't need to be here.
> We're very far back from the latest Angular version and the update is only
> going to get more and more painful the longer the we wait. This is also true
> for Bootstrap and many (most) of the other dependencies.
> A number of the tests are currently not working (partially my fault) and
> fixing them is even more painful since we were using an extremely old version
> of Karma (yay, more dependency issues).
> In an effort to make maintaining the frontend easier and to hopefully prevent
> these problems from getting worse, I've begun working on moving the project
> over to using Yeomann, Bower, and Grunt. If you'd like to read about them
> checkout [1] (it's a bit outdated, but still useful). At the same time, I'm
> going through and fixing any problems that result from outdated dependencies.
> At the moment my progress is sitting in a branch in my fork of the Climate
> repo [2].
