I stopped working on the Osm Admin project, for financial reasons. Did it hurt? A lot. Was it necessary? Unfortunately, yes. This post is a short retrospection on this matter.

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!

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.

This article introduces the core project concepts: data object, data class, data query, and data schema.

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.

Throw the NotImplemented exception in any code path that is not implemented yet, and configure the debugger to stop there whenever the code path is executed.

Install and use osm, osmc, osmt and osmh command line aliases for faster command typing.

Once PHP 8, Node and Gulp are installed, create new projects quickly using the command line.
