Hi all, As a follow-up to the discussion on the Production Run PWA, I would like to propose creating a dedicated repository for PWA applications built on top of Apache OFBiz.
The idea is to keep the OFBiz framework, business applications, plugins, services, and REST APIs in their existing repositories, while maintaining frontend applications that consume those APIs in a separate repository. PWAs have their own development lifecycle, build tooling, dependencies, and release cadence. They are deployed independently from an OFBiz server and can be developed using different frontend technologies depending on the use case. Keeping them in a dedicated repository would allow the frontend ecosystem around OFBiz to evolve independently while keeping a clear separation between backend and frontend concerns. Such a repository could eventually host applications such as: - Manufacturing PWAs (Production Runs, BOM, Routing, MRP) - Fulfillment PWAs (Picking, Packing) - Inventory PWAs (Receiving, Cycle Counting) - Other API-driven frontend applications built on Apache OFBiz This would also provide a common place for sharing frontend libraries, API clients, authentication helpers, UI components, and documentation where appropriate. I am interested in hearing the community's thoughts on whether a dedicated repository for Apache OFBiz PWAs would be a good long-term direction. Thanks -- Divesh Dutta www.hotwaxsystems.com
