Hello, I'm using a personalized dashboard with some gadgets on it, and I'd like to use the gadgetstore. However, I'd rather not have all the amdatu-platform and demo samples in there; i.e. I want a personalized gadgetstore.
Of course, ideally the gadgetstore could handle this itself: if it is tenant- and user-aware, any call to the gadgetstore calling for' gadgets would return only those gadgets which the current user is allowed to see. However, this quickly binds in with usermanagement, accessibility of gadgets based on user, and applications. And as far as I've heard, these parts havent been nailed down yet. Yet the question for me then becomes: will Amdatu have such functionality in its gadgetstore (preferebly somewhere in the near future), or is the gadgetstore only 'as a demo' (i.e. rip it and create your own). For if it is going to have such functionalty, I'm wondering if at least a high-level API could be defined. Such a high-level api could be as simple as saying that the gadgetstore is/will be/ should be user and tenant-aware. For me this would mean that for testing I could mock the gadgetstore and have it return the values I want. Whenever Amdatu then implements this feature, I can remove the mock. Of course, if time shows that such an api cannot hold (for whatever reason), I'd have to rewrite it, but until then I can hope that my dashboard is based on mostly amdatu-supplied components.
