Hey all, I have a question regarding the development of the tuskar-ui navigation.
So, to give some background: we are currently working off the wireframes that Jaromir Coufal has developed: http://people.redhat.com/~jcoufal/openstack/tripleo/2013-12-03_tripleo-ui_02-resources.pdf In these wireframes, you can see a left-hand navigation for Resources (which we have since renamed Nodes). This left-hand navigation includes sub-navigation for Resources: Overview, Resource Nodes, Unallocated, etc. It seems like the "Horizon way" to implement this would be to create a 'nodes/' directory within our dashboard. We would create a tabs.py with a Tab for Overview, Resource Nodes, Unallocated, etc, and views.py would contain a single TabbedTableView populated by our tabs. However, this prevents us from using left-handed navigation. As a result, our nodes/ directory currently appears as such: https://github.com/openstack/tuskar-ui/tree/master/tuskar_ui/infrastructure/nodes 'overview', 'resource', and 'free' are subdirectories within nodes, and they each define their own panel.py, enabling them to appear in the left-handed navigation. This leads to the following questions: * Would our current workaround be acceptable? Or should we follow Horizon precedent more closely? * I understand that a more flexible navigation system is currently under development (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/navigation-enhancement) - would it be preferred that we follow Horizon precedent until that navigation system is ready, rather than use our own workarounds? Thanks in advance for any opinions!
