-----------------------------------
Summary: Refactor Rave js to modularize functionality and isolate
dependencies
Key: RAVE-891
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAVE-891
Project: Rave
Issue Type: Epic
Reporter: Erin Noe-Payne
Roadmap:
- Establish rave.ui namespace that manages all ui interactions
- Find all instances of inline html and dom building in rave.js, move to client
side templates available on rave.ui.templates
- Isolate all dependencies on jquery, handlebars and other libraries inside
rave.ui files (except ajax), such that an implementer could remove these
dependencies and easily replace with an implementation using other dom
manipulation or templating libraries. The only dependency of rave core code
should be underscore.js utility library.
- Establish rave.ajax namespace. Isolate all jquery ajax dependencies here,
such that an implementer could overlay their implementation with a preferred
ajax library. See backbone.js sync for a reference
(http://backbonejs.org/#Sync).
- Update providers (rave_opensocial, rave_wookie) to establish a consistent
interface for gadget objects and properly set up and tear down gadgets.
Currently there are some issues with not correctly firing lifecycle events or
creating potential memory leaks with gadget closing.
- Investigate, refactor or remove rave_person_profile.js. Appears to be a lot
of duplicated code, not clear why it is a separate file.
-
Goals:
- Write rave js with extensibility in mind. Build modules to be configurable,
and write the default rave ui as configuration rather than hard-coded
- Look for opportunities and keep focus on backend as services delivering json
data, reduce the workload of thick views (jsps). Allow the client to manage
views and state with more flexibility
