Documentation

Caveats

Hygen is quite powerful tool for generation files, but it is not perfect for the working with the JSON files. So, some JSON manipulation can be tricky. To prevent this, there is a injectJsCallback.js file where is a helper function that can be called to create custom JS actions instead of file rendering. Example of usage _templates/settings/index.js file.

TODO:

• update the code to use this as external tool
• permissions in widget.add
• possibly rewrite property add to JSON-based approach
• full list of the extension properties entities
• creation of http handlers
• TypeScript support (at least widgets/handlers/extension-propertioes should be added to app.d.ts file)
• React + ring-ui support in widget templates
• wording review
• testing
• documentation
