Hello, Before we split Horizon into two parts, we need to deal with a couple of related cleanup tasks. One of them is getting rid of the bundled JavaScript libraries that we are using. They are currently just included in the Horizon's source tree. Ideally, we would like to have them installed as dependencies. There is a blueprint for that at:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/remove-javascript-bundling We have several options for actually doing this. One of them is selecting an appropriate django-* library, where available, and using whatever additional API and code the author of the library made available. We need to choose carefully, and every library has to be approached separately for this. I propose a more general solution of using xstatic-* Python packages, which contain basically just the files that we want to bundle, plus some small amount of metadata. All of the JavaScript (and any static files, really, including styles, fonts and icons) would be then handled the same way, by just adding the relevant package to the requirements and to the settings.py file. Packaging the libraries that are missing is very easy (as there is no extra code to write), and we get to share the effort with other projects that use xstatic. Anyways, I made a proof of concept patch that demonstrates this approach for the jQuery library. Obviously it fails Jenkins tests, as the xstatic and xstatic-jquery packages are not included in the global requirements, but it shows how little effort is involved. You can see the patch at: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/82516/ Any feedback and suggestions appreciated. -- Radomir Dopieralski _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
