Hello -
There may be other similar setups, like Pattern Lab, this is just one I
have some familiarity with. But I think the concept is the more important
part, as this would help build a documentation library for front-end
developers to use when putting together the front-end of an eCommerce site.
Brad wrote a book
<http://atomicdesign.bradfrost.com/table-of-contents/> on atomic
design that helps explain the concept, and how it can be beneficial in both
designers and developers.
I can't say all the impact using PHP or Node.js would have on the project,
other than those working to build the library would need to be familiar
with it (I'm more familiar with PHP). Those using the library as a
reference wouldn't have any impact at all, as they would view the library
as a webpage, and be able to grab the code snippets they need. I believe
code snippets could still be in FTL, but would also provide the HTML output
that the front-end developers can use when working to create the CSS.
Thanks,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,
First I want to thank you for your work with Sharan on the new website.
It would be really great if you could be more involved in OFBiz
development!
Pattern Lab looks promising, what would be the impact of using PHP or
node.js for us?
Also it's said that "Pattern Lab will always be free and open source" but
I could not find the license, any ideas?
https://www.google.fr/search?q=site%3Apatternlab.io+license&ie=UTF-8
https://github.com/search?q=org%3Apattern-lab+license
It should not be a problem if we don't need to commit any Pattern Lab
files in our repo, and only use it as a tool, so just curious
Ah, I see MIT at https://www.npmjs.com/package/patternlab-node anyway. So
I guess it's all that, right?
Looking forward :)
Jacques

Hello all -
+1 on Bootstrap integration to the eCommerce code. I also feel that
creating a pattern library, similar to the what Brad Frost developed
<http://patternlab.io/>, would be very helpful to front end developers
like
me, and would hopefully allow for us to create several different theming
options for the community to use OOTB.
Please let me know how I can help and become more involved in these
efforts.
Thanks,
Kenneth Paskett

Hmmmm, all good points Deepak. I will try to explain my point of view
more thoroughly.
Essentially there are only certain locations in the ecommerce
component that require bling bling and fancy UI, and even some of
those can be done through Macros for the benefit of using them
elsewhere in the framework. So perhaps maybe we should think of the
items below in implementing what is proposed in this thread:
- If the feature is easy and straight forward, then the widget
implementation can be pure.
- If the feature is difficult, then it depends:
- is it worth introducing in other components? If yes, it's better
to enhance the widget system by having XML translation to freemarker
macros
- is it specific to the e-commerce component and not reusable
elsewhere? Then yeah fine drop down to <platform-specific ...> and do
your thing
The above approach might give us some advantages like:
- Reducing complexity: As it stands, I find the e-commerce component
to be one of the most challenging components to maintain and develop
because of the handcrafted interface
- Reuse: If we are apply the implementation through macros then we can
reuse everything in themes which means other components gain value
automatically.
- Reducing fragmentation: Having e-commerce behave one way and other
components behave another way is an added layer of complexity that can
be avoided if we work at the underlying widget infrastructure level.
Overall, good initiative. I'm always attracted first and foremost to
DRY so whenever people make suggestions for improvement the automatic
first thought in my mind is ... well how can we unify that everywhere.
Cheers

Hi Taher,
Here we are talking about ecommerce, and ecommerce website should be
fancy
and user friendly. To achieve this developer/designer should have free
hand
to design this.
Its hard to customize ecommerce using form widget, developer should
have
freedom to design ecommerce UX as per need.
Thanks & Regards

I believe an attempt like this should be architectually constrained
to
the
themes only especially given our recent changes. So work here should
be
on
the FTL macros level in themes, not in widgets in the ecommerce
component.
This would probably be the cleanest solution IMHO.

Nice Idea Mayank,
We can firstly move forward with integrating bootstrap framework for
e-commerce website and later we can proceed with UI improvements and
markup
changes.

I started markup cleanup effort for ecommerce long time ago, I did
some
cleanup, Its good idea to change ecommerce markup and used bootstrap
defined ux pattern.
It will allow us to create fancy demo ecommerce application. I think
we
need to add some extra css to add bootstrap feel for form widget
generated
markup for ecommrece.
+1 from my side and I'll be available for discussion and
co-ordination.
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
The E-Commerce website in OFBiz currently contains custom styling
for
the
UI. We are planning to use the bootstrap framework so that the UI
would
be
more arranged and user-friendly. Also, we would require changing
the
markup
accordingly.
Let us know your thoughts.
