Hi Weex folks, I’m thinking of moving Playground and Examples out of Weex repo to simplify our code base, I hope we can fully discuss if it is necessary to make this move.
Playground is a good entry to fiddle with the features of basic components and debug your pages, but it is kind of heavy if we take it as a demo in the Weex repo. As many of the Weex developers tend to create their own applications based on the Playground project, I suppose it is necessary to create a simpler one, say AppShell, which only contains QR Scan and page load functions, it would be sufficient for users to test their Weex pages, and much easier for them to take it as an application template to create their own project. Playground should be maintained in a separate repo in WeexTeam, which can be maintained and distributed separately. Same things should also happens to examples directory, I suppose what we really need is one or few simplified example to demonstrate the usage of the main components and the way of implementing app using Weex in the simplest way, not to keep those detailed example for each components in Weex repo. Instead I think it is a good practice to move them into WeexTeam and maintains as a separate repo, and replace the .we implementation with .vue as well. Any thought? I hope we can fully discuss it and bring out a proposal to make it happen asap. Cheers, Jonathan Dong
