Overview

The Angular UI Components for ManageIQ offer a collection of reusable components specifically designed to enhance the functionality of the ManageIQ project. These components are not intended for general use but are tailored for the different providers within the ManageIQ ecosystem. The initiative aims to create smart components that efficiently interact with backend data sources, streamlining the integration process across various ManageIQ applications. By focusing on reusability and domain specificity, this repository aims to improve code quality and reduce redundancy in UI component development.

The architectural goals of this project highlight a commitment to maintain a clean separation from the ManageIQ codebase while ensuring communication through REST APIs. Utilizing Angular 1.8.3 alongside TypeScript and Webpack, these components promise better compatibility and pave the way for future upgrades to newer versions of Angular. This approach not only organizes the development process but also sets the stage for a modular, maintainable code structure within ManageIQ.

Features

Smart Components: Designed to automatically handle data retrieval and configuration through seamless communication with backend APIs relevant to different ManageIQ providers.
Separation of Concerns: Maintains a distinct repository for UI components, allowing easier maintenance and version control separate from the core ManageIQ project.
Angular 1.5 Compatibility: Recommends Angular 1.5 components over directives, enhancing compatibility and simplifying future migration to Angular 2.0.
Utilization of Webpack: Optimizes the build process, ensuring faster and more reliable builds by utilizing a modern module bundler.
Documentation Generation: Automatically generates comprehensive documentation from JS docs, making it easily accessible for developers through a local server.
Efficient Development Environment: Built around the latest versions of Node.js and npm, with Yarn as a faster replacement, ensuring a smoother development experience.
Release Management: Simplifies the release process by incorporating version control within package.json and automated build commands that package and prepare components for distribution.
Component Version Mapping: Offers clear mapping of component versions against various ManageIQ releases, ensuring developers can track compatibility and updates easily.
