Just following back up on this after the holidays. :)

Hi All,

This is a follow on to previous discussions of moving the GUI away from AngularJS and to a new framework, Vue, that was discussed on the list and in the GUI design workgroup meeting.

See:
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2019-September/018299.html
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/wiki/GUI-Design-work-group

The team here had some questions about Vue and wanted to answer some of our and the community concerns about moving to Vue, so over the last few weeks, our team has spent time working on a Vue prototype. If you are interested, https://github.com/gtmills/phosphor-webui-vue

This prototype has a few working panels and builds with the current webui recipe, https://github.com/gtmills/openbmc/commit/de6e2daef54fa5ace473a42b9ff9014cc9cb02ba

IBM is committed to moving the WebUI to Vue.
Is anyone opposed to moving to Vue?

Should this work be done in a separate repo?

Or a separate branch in phosphor-webui, that would be merged into the master branch once this Vue rewrite becomes functionally equivalent to the current AngularJS application?

Would anyone stay on the current AngularJS application?

We plan to maintain the current AngularJS application until the Vue rewrite becomes functionally equivalent, would anyone maintain the AngularJS application after such a time?

I think a new repository is the safest bet here.
Anyone opposed to a new repo for the webui vue rewrite?

Possible names:
webui
webui-v2
phosphor-webui-v2
phosphor-webui-vue
webui-vue
