UI rewrite in plain html/js

The webapp-js module contains some doc see http://people.apache.org/~olamy/archiva/doc/ref/1.4-M3-SNAPSHOT/archiva-web/archiva-webapp-js/index.html

Frameworks

  • knockout.js

Runtime

TODO index.html use compressed js/css, index-dev.html use non compressed version.

Idea and good design practice

(section edited by E.Barboni open for discussion, for now draft and a placeholder , also first step in confluence)

  • use placeholder on input to give tips to user
  • <label> for <input>
  • may be nicer to have more complicated dialog coding for more usability.

    example in login:
    activate login button only when the two field are not empty
    allow enter keypressed
    error only if wrong creditential.

  • try to avoid blank page
    in browse page when browsing only folder lots of unused space this may (contains number of artifact, space on drive, etc)
  • keep user in the task.
    i.e. in search page:
    the Search Parameter page can be merge to search result page with a smart design. With initial page to search result with wildcard. no back and forth navigation for changing a parameter
  • would be nice to deals with task rather than functionnality

Out of main topic

Would be cool to port to continuum for a nicer homogeneity across both tools for maven from apache.
