Before diving into what should be in the docs, let's define what you should more or less know before using Osm Admin.
There are four types of people who will read the docs: power users, developers, vendors and contributors.

Here are my thoughts on product backlog and roadmap.

I waited for this day too long. Today, I've tried out GitPod, and made it work for a project based on Osm Admin.

Today, I reiterated on what's left in this iteration, and finished the side menu view, and created a trivial home page for the admin area.

After getting the main branch all-green (tests pass, CLI and UI works as expected), I decided that from now on, I'll keep it always green, and use feature branches for all major development.
Then, I started implementing the main menu of the admin area.

Yesterday, I created a template for new projects powered by Osm Admin.
This way, you can create and publish a project in minutes, just follow the README
. Yay!

Yesterday, I identified the need to have some syntax in a formula query to join a notification table.
I'm still working on new Query::joinInsertNotifications()
and Query::joinUpdateNotifications()
methods.

I wanted to implement incremental indexing in one go.
Not so quick.
I hit some major roadblocks, and I'm working on removing them, one by one.
2 years ago ∙ 2 minutes read
Yesterday, indexers started listening to query inserted
, updated
and deleted
notifications and creating records in notification tables.
Now, saving a product complains:
Table 'admin2.zi9__products__inserts' doesn't exist
Fair enough. Let's create it.

I've got a little more organized, then fixed an error in selecting all products, and implemented filtered URL generation in the browser.

A list of references to the most useful blog posts about Osm Admin and Osm Framework. One day, they'll be a part of the official documentation.

Progress messages stopped working, and I fixed that. Then, I implemented a safety measure that prevent accidental deletion (or other operations) on all objects.

In Osm Admin, I've finished implementing editing behavior of input and select controls.
For other control types, a step-by-step guide is prepared.
2 years ago ∙ 3 minutes read
In Osm Admin, object editing form is used not only for a single object editing, but also for editing multiple objects, and for creating a new object.
I also created the osmphp/extras
package as an easy way of adding Font Awesome icons to a project. Later, I'll add more optional reusable goodies to this package.

On the list page, grid columns are implemented as control views. On the editing page, form fields are also implemented as control views.
The form Blade templates are completely migrated to Osm Admin v0.2
.

I redesigned control rendering on list and edit pages. From now, a control contains view prototypes for a grid column, a form field, and other.

After getting the list page to work, I returned to the editing page.
Done:

Yesterday, I polished the product color
facet, and, starting now, you can create a facet with a list of string options very quickly, just by marking a property as #[Faceted]
.
/**
* @property string $color #[Option(Color::class), Faceted]
*/
class Product extends Record
{

In the product editing form, I implemented the id
filter, and made the UI query work in database-only mode, too.
2 years ago ∙ 4 minutes read
Three days ago, I started rendering faceted navigation, and namely, color
facet on the product list page.
Yesterday, I continued working on it and got the first render of the faceted navigation, defined URL action syntax, and the first facet filter applied on the product list page.

In my opinion, obfuscating object ID in a URL is not worth the effort, and here is why.
2 years ago ∙ 4 minutes read
My current goal is a minimum list page, a form page and a faceted navigation for a Product
data class.
Today, I've:

Today, I finished indexing design, described typical indexing logic, implemented full search reindexing.
2 years ago ∙ 6 minutes read
Starting today, I'll write a daily blog post about how the Osm Admin development goes.
This is the first one. It reviews where I am today, covers creation of a search index, and revisits the design of the indexing engine and how queries orchestrate the indexing.

Recently, I implemented mass-editing in Osm Admin. It allows you to view and edit multiple objects in a single operation.
This article describes mass-editing of products in a typical e-commerce application.

In the user interface, you can narrow displayed data using grid column filters, or filters displayed in the sidebar. To enable that, apply #[Filter\*]
attributes to class properties.
Applied filters appear in the URL query parameters, for example, .../edit?id=5+16+19
, and on the page.
You can apply filters not only to a grid page, but also to a form page - to mass edit all matching objects, or to an action URL (edit, delete, or custom) - to perform the action on all matching objects.
In the same way, you can apply filters to the API URLs in order to retrieve or modify matching objects in a script.

Today, I finished implementing an object creation form.
It works according to the specs on Interfaces and Forms. Currently, it only supports string and integer input fields; later, there will be a lot more.
Let's review how it works.

In Osm Admin, a form is an integral part of the class user interface. It's a very specific kind of HTML form.
In this article, I'll review what's in a class form, and how it's reflected from the application code.

Yesterday, I described a user interface pattern for managing data of a certain data class using a grid/form pair. Let's call this grid/form pair class interface in the admin
area.
In this article, I'll examine what moving parts are inside a class interface.

So far, I've been concerned about how application data is modeled, stored and handled internally.
Yet, the final objective a user interface for viewing and editing it visually.
Let's dream a bit about how it might look like.

Yay, indexing works!
It's changed quite a bit, so let's review how it works from the very beginning.

I'm still working on indexing, and it seems to get one more refactoring. But more on that later.
Meanwhile, let's review Osm Admin modules, their responsibilities and dependencies.

The project repository, osmphp/admin
, follows a typical Osm Framework-based project structure. However, this repository is going to be a reusable Composer package, and has important structural differences presented in this article.

I'm super-excited to announce that I'm starting a new project codenamed "The Big Red Button". It's about defining application data structures and logic in PHP code, pressing the big red button (hence the codename), and getting fully functioning Admin Panel and API.

After pushing changes to GitHub, osm.software website is updated without any additional manual action. On push, GitHub executes the deployment script on the production server. Most changes are done to content only, and in this case, the deployment script only updates the search index. Otherwise, with the website being on maintenance, it additionally updates Composer and Node dependencies, builds JS and CSS assets, and runs the database migrations.
