Molgenis UI components

One of the User Stories in Sprint 2 is to create UI components so people can easily create a User Interface using only Molgenis components, so no Freemarker templates anymore.

On Tuesday 15th, Robert, Jessica, George and Erik had a discussion on what components we need.

UI needs from George and Alex:

• Add/edit data
• View data, progress

Example projects/code-bases to apply the new components:

• Alex' and George's current project: GccCompute
• Andre's and George's old project: LifeLinesImpute?

Suggested agenda:

• Refactor RunButtonPlugin? from Alex and George, showing how to seperate out logic (more object oriented, perhaps), and how to better communicate between template/java/database (MVC)
• Refactor RunButtonPlugin? UI from freemarker to new ui components (in gcc project, under plugins)
• Refactor BackendPlugin? backend (and freemarker) (in job_admin package, in sandbox)
• Show how to use standard molgenis screen components in new UI form (table? list?)
• Show how to make a component from scratch
• Components wanted:
  • Progress Bar
  • Table
  • larger components with logic behind them inside a screen? I.e. shopping cart
  • xref input (advanced with ability to input stuff)
  • Conditional input logic (if I click on 'A', I want 'C', 'D', and 'E' to show, if I click on 'B' I want 'G' to show.) I.e. hide/show/modify input/options from a select box
