The goal is to be the most productive and focused on the most important things, both personally, and (later) as a team.
After maintaining the "done" log for several months, I decided to improve my estimation accuracy, and here is how.

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.

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.

Use deleteAll()
method on a search query to, well, delete all entries from a search index.

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.

While testing notification logic in Osm Admin, an exception is thrown in $db->committing()
callback, and the logic in $db->rollback()
fails.
Let's review how transaction callbacks work, and fix it.

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.

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.

A View
is a short-living object that is created and computed during page rendering. You can also create a pre-configured a View
object prototype in advance, and then clone it for rendering.
It's important not to execute render-time properties while configuring the prototype.
Use view()
helper function to create render-time view instances, and mark render-time properties using #[RenderTime]
attribute to prevent accessing them before rendering.

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.

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.

The implementation of the faceted implementation in osm.software
blog has shown that sometimes you need only facet counts, or only total count of matching entries.
Until now, Osm Framework had always queried total count
, ids
and facets
. Not anymore - and the search engine only provides the information that is actually needed.

The implicit ElasticSearch hit limit is confusing. And you can't get all the hits - there is 10000 maximum hit limit that you can't exceed anyway.
Be explicit about the maximum number of search hits.

In my opinion, obfuscating object ID in a URL is not worth the effort, and here is why.

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.

My current goal is to get some minimum Osm Admin user interface and API working - just for one property, one data type, one UI control type, and then improve.
And there is a lot of space for improvement. The main areas are listed in this document.
I'd really appreciate a helping hand, so if you are into this sort of things, DM me on Twitter.

I feel that both attributes decorating data classes, and object model parsed from it are too complex.
Let's have a fresh look at Osm Admin. If I had to start from scratch, how would it be?

Recently, I implemented mass-editing in Osm Admin. It allows you to view and edit multiple objects in a single operation.

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.

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.
