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.

. New Placeholder
class simplifies dynamic Markdown content generation.
Osm Framework. Apply dynamic traits within the same file using #[UseIn]
attribute. Implement fast dynamic routing using new DynamicRoute
class. Generate URLs using new $osm_app->base_url

Full-text search and layered navigation is a common feature for e-commerce applications. It's also used in this blog. Actually, it makes browsing any non-trivial data better. Under the hood, search and layered navigation interact with ElasticSearch, or other search engine, and this article describes how.
Note. This post is moved to Osm Framework documentation.

Osm Framework is an open-source, insanely fast, unprecedentedly extensible, and fun to work with PHP 8 framework for creating modern Web applications. It's built on top of tried and tested Symfony and Laravel components.
Note. This post is moved to Osm Framework documentation.

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.

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.

In Osm Admin, I've finished indexing. It means that whenever you modify an object in the database, the changes are automatically propagated to all dependent indexed properties in the database.
I've also introduced a grid/form pair as the main user interface concept that is optimized for performing operations on multiple objects. There is also a programming interface (API) that will internally work in the same way, but without visuals. I implemented a part of this interface - an object creation form.
Osm Framework and all projects built with it - including this website and Osm Admin - are upgraded to TailwindCSS 3.0.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
