Joe, Yes, extract out the FDS.
As for a release schedule, I don't think there would need to be one. We would put out new releases as needed for new features or components. These releases would be totally independent of NiFi or NiFi Registry. The intention with this project is to follow semantic versioning and avoid making breaking changes so using this library in NiFi or the NiFi Registry would be as simple as updating the version number in the package.json and rebuilding the application. As for validation of releases I have a couple of ideas. I envisioned this code base would follow a RTC paradigm and the initial release of this FDS NgModule would include unit test coverage of all the existing features/components/utils. Any new features/components/utils would require adequate test coverage before being merged to NiFi FDS master. We could also provide a demo application that users can build and deploy locally to allow for human verification or even e2e testing... I took the liberty of standing up a repo to give everyone a better idea of what we are all talking about. https://github.com/scottyaslan/fluid-design-system Since no server or backend is required to run these UI/UX components I also stood a demo of this as a github.io page here: https://scottyaslan.github.io/fluid-design-system/ <https://scottyaslan.github.io/fluid-design-system/> -Scotty On Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 10:03 AM, Joe Witt <joe.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > Scott > > Ok so extract out the fluid design work you started with NiFi Registry > to its own codebase which can be rev'd and published to NPM making it > easier to consume/reuse across NiFi projects and offers better > consistency.
