Yesterday started as usual, planning new iteration, and then BAM! - one folk - Saif - joined the project. It made me correct the course a bit, and take care of potential contributors:

Yay! After implementing invalid data conversion, I finished the iteration #18 dedicated to diff-based migrations!
2 years ago ∙ 4 minutes read
I must say, it's a bit disturbing to implement the same thing for the third time. Still, the goal is to get it finished, and have it sustainable.
After the effort, the code has become su much easier to read!

Yesterday, I finished implementing data conversion for int
and string
property types.
Then, I started refactoring it.

Last time, I pushed through string
property migrations and created a migration log.
Today, I continued solving data conversion issues.

property migrations.2 years ago ∙ 3 minutes read
Yesterday, I finished writing int
property migrations. True, testing it is still a todo.
The major part of the code (type change, nullability and other attribute handling) will be reused in other property types.
2 years ago ∙ 3 minutes read
I refactored Property::migrate()
using additional Migration
classes. It's so much more convenient to compare property definition versions and generate migration SQLs!
New code structure already handles property explicitness changes.

After enumerating what kind of changes can happen to a property, I started implementing the most hard one - changing property type.

method is implemented in the TDD way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yesterday, I optimized search responses, made search hit limit explicit, and decided not to obfuscate ID in URL.

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

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.

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.

I came with an idea of much cleaner Osm Admin data class "markup", and more straightforward architecture, and I decided to give it a go in a separate experimental branch v0.2
, and to see if it's viable.
After three weeks of implementation effort, I can say that it is viable, and it's so much better! And it's not a completely new effort, I mostly copy code from v0.1
and some parts of osmphp/framework:old_v4
, and adapt it.
You can already define data classes using new markup, generate the database tables, and query it using new formula syntax. I really wanted to come with some UI working, but there wasn't enough time for that. It stays my priority for the next iteration.

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?

Last two weeks were about implementing initial version of an Osm Admin grid, integrating it seamlessly with the editing form, and enabling mass-editing of multiple objects.
After finishing it, I realized that Osm Admin had become bigger than Osm Framework! To keep up, I started writing docs for it.
And now, you have a step-by-step guide for creating a project, adding Osm Admin to it and a practical example of an admin area that you can copy to your project and try it out locally.

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.

The last 4 weeks were mostly a vacation. It's been a time for reflection, but still, I delivered some new features.
In Osm Admin, forms already allow creating new objects and saving them to the database, and editing one or several existing objects.
I've also implemented URL query filters that are applied to the underlying database query and that can be displayed in the user interface.
From now on, Osm Framework and all projects built with it - can be installed and developed under Apache and on Windows.
2 years ago ∙ 3 minutes read
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.
