Hello, this is a followup on the design session we had at the meeting about the handling of static files. You can see the etherpad from that session here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/juno-summit-horizon-static-files
The split: We are going to use rather uninspired, but very clear and well-known names. The "horizon" (library) part is going to be named "django-horizon", and the "openstack_dashboard" is going to be named "horizon". We will clone the horizon repository as "django-horizon" soon(ish) and start removing the unwanted files from both of them -- this way we will preserve the history. The JavaScript libraries unbundling: I'm packaging all the missing libraries, except for Angular.js, as XStatic packages: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XStatic-D3 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XStatic-Hogan https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XStatic-JSEncrypt https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XStatic-QUnit https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XStatic-Rickshaw https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XStatic-Spin There is also a patch for unbundling JQuery: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/82516/ And the corresponding global requirements for it: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/94337/ Once it is in, I will prepare a patch with the rest of libraries. We will also unbundle Bootstrap, but first we need to deal with its compilation, read below. The style files compilation: We are going to go with PySCSS compiler, plus django-pyscss. The proof-of-concept patch has been rebased and updated, and is waiting for your reviews: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/90371/ It is also waiting for adding the needed libraries to the global requirements: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/94376/ The style files dependencies and pluggability: Turns out that we don't have to generate a file with all the includes after all, because django-pyscss actually solves that problem for us. Horizon's plugins can refer to Horizon's own files easily now. The linter and other tools: We will be able to include the linter in the gate check without having to explicitly depend on it in Horizon itself. -- Radomir Dopieralski _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
