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.

This way, you can create and publish a project in minutes, just follow the README
. Yay!

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!

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!

I continued working on property diff algorithm that plans all the migration details.

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.

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.

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.

Estimating projects is hard. Here is my approach for getting better at it.
It's based on a concept of a "primitive problem" - something non-trivial that you can solve in one go.
You can use primitive problems as story points in agile project management.

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?

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.

This sprint was dedicated to writing Osm Framework documentation, and indeed, there are 8 new in-depth documentation articles, 4-5 minutes long each.
Despite documentation focus, I kept improving the website. From now on, you can assign a canonical URL to a blog post or a documentation page, and use GitHub friendly relative URLs in documentation.
But the most important thing - I started sharing progress and insights daily on Twitter.

This website got a completely new look. There are new blog posts diving into core Osm Framework features. Osm Framework itself offers more convenient page layout, website-wide header, footer and <head>
, customizable error pages. The themes support theme-specific CSS styles and JS scripts not bound to any module. New projects come with a handy bin/install.sh
script that simplifies installation on Linux. From now on, run osmh
without any parameters.

From now on, this website is deployed on push, and by the way, you can easily play with the website copy locally. In the Osm framework, new Osm_Project
application allows reflecting over modules and classes regardless to which application they belong. New experimental project is aimed at quick creation of the Admin UI.

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.
