--------------------------------------------
Summary: Wave Extensions Gallery integration
Key: WAVE-390
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAVE-390
Project: Wave
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Web Client
Reporter: Zachary “Gamer_Z.” Yaro
A little over a month ago, I announced the first release of the Wave Extensions
Gallery search API (wavygallery.appspot.com/docs/api/v0/search). Not long
after that, I released the WEG Loader for Rizzoma Chrome extension, which used
the WEG search API to put WEG gadgets in Rizzoma's gadgets menu. It would be
great to see WEG gadgets also be searchable from the WIAB gadgets dialog.
WIAB already has a gadget searching UI. It would require essentially no UI
changes to implement this. All that would change is what happens with the
search query behind the scenes. Instead of searching within a hard-coded JSON
file, send a request to the WEG search API and parse the JSON response.
The advantages of using the WEG API over the current method are a) the gadget
URLs, icons, and metadata will always be up-to-date, and b) WIAB instances will
not all need to store their own hard-coded gadget lists.
