Version 9 Wish List

BLOMASKY

Since I purchased fontAwesome, they sent me an email telling me about their integration with shoelace. Shoelace is a bunch of web components that are framework agnostic. so it got me thinking... How hard would it be for the next version (9?) to integrate with web components. So, for instance, if I add an attribute to a BO, I could select the default webComponet (lets say an input field, or checkbox) and easily add the appropriate attributes to that to customize it. Right now we are limited to the Kendu components and SOME properties that Aware exposes. If we had the ability to connect a web component to an attribute and then the ability to add html between the opening and closing tags, a lot of easy customization would be enabled. Developing "pretty" screens could be a lot faster without having to learn a lot of JS and JQuery.

Any thoughts?

Does this make sense or is this just duplicating what Kendu has?

Had a quick look at Showlace. This is just another library like Kendo UI. But Kendo UI has a lot more components.

I really cannot see any benefits for Aware IM. Or maybe I am missing something...

BLOMASKY

The only plus is that Kendu is a framework that contains components (some very nice ones!). Shoelace is framework agnostic components. So, for instance, if I have a text field, the ability to point to a shoelace input field and use some of the attributes to customize the the behavior would be nice. The only plus is additional UI customizability and features. And it looks very EASY to add to a framework like aware. Would just need the ability to point to a components to override the default one used in kendo in the BO and/or queries and/or forms.

I would just like to see Aware include more recent version of Kendo and as time goes by, implement more and more of the
built in Kendo functionality.

Shoelace is framework agnostic components...

Not really. The way I understand it (and I could be wrong) is that underneath the hood there is still same old HTML and CSS. In this respect it is no different from Kendo UI.

We will.

Curious if you happen to have a prioritized list of Kendo functionality you are looking to incorporate in Aware.

We don't have such a list yet. Is there anything specific you want to include?

Jaymer

is there support yet for FA Icons in Reports?

BLOMASKY

The same way I can't just pop a Sencha component into Aware since it is based on the Kendu framework. I can't pop a Kendu component into a react framework. However, web components are standalone. Yes, they are just HTML, css (and perhaps some JS). but they exist on their own and do not need a framework to run. I would be happy to discuss in detail more how I would like to see it implemented. but in simple terms, it would be optional UI components that can be tied to an attribute.

Arm version of the Server and Config tool for Mac's

Chris,

you are referrihg to Kendo UI for JSP - Aware IM only supports Kendo UI for jQuery.

Bruce,
I am sure ShoeLace requires a framework as well - something would need to convert from their "platform agnostic" definition to HTML/CSS. So I cannot see how you can easily embed a ShoeLace component into Sencha or React (Kendo UI by the way supports React)

Kendo

When you filter on a numeric field that is an integer, it would be nice if it didn't show decimal points (since its a whole #), but the filter field will show 123.00

which in some cases obscures the value you typed in because the .00 takes up room in the narrow filter box

snipped from this thread reported 2.5 years ago:

when you tab into Text and Date fields, the data is selected.
But as of 8.6, tabbing into a numeric just puts the insertion point at the start of the field.
Is there a fix for this without custom JS on every form in the app?
Is this a Kendo limitation?

Jaymer

Another Kendo improvement would be a dynamic list of unique values in a grid column.

Go to a column filter (plain text attribute) and enter 1 letter, THEN backspace that to clear the field.
You should get a pulldown box like this:

Problem is thats not reliable. I don't know where/how that data is determined, but its not what it seems. Its NOT a list of unique values, because the image shows other values in that field which did not appear in the list.
BUT if would be cool if a user had access to all the Unique values of a column for easy filtering.

Jaymer

Kendo supports selecting the text when you tab into a numeric field (like it does on a text field).
Vlad could easily add this code here: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/numerictextbox/configuration/selectonfocus

Even in the short term, I'd like to know how to adapt this code so I could manually add it to the Script at the field level on a form!

Jaymer

There's an easy option to add a data source for a filter,
as shown here: https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/filter-menu-customization
And from the source:

        function cityFilter(element) {
            element.kendoDropDownList({
                dataSource: cities,
                optionLabel: "--Select Value--"
            });
        }

This is basically the same as a ComboBox in Aware. If we could attach a Query as a data source (actually, queries don't do DISTINCT, so it would have to improve on what we have today), or use a similar mechanism ) then filtering in the Browser would be better.

Please keep adding these. We do take note of all requests.
