[Project Template] Web API Server NEXT

[aeric]

I have a plan to create a more minimum starter template based on Pakai framework.
May call it "Inti", which stands for core in Malay based on Bing translate.
It translates to "Teras" in Google translate but I prefer "Inti".

Ohh yes, will be releasing that here. Just need to iron out a few things as that has been specific to BANanoServer usage for now.

The project template is now available.

[Project Template] Inti Server v1

Inti Server File size: 6.9KB GitHub: https://github.com/pyhoon/inti-b4j This project template only depends on jServer library. This template is created before EndsMeet library is available. I recommend to use [Project Template] EndsMeet Server to get started with a clean server app. You can...

What else do you want to see for the next version?
Replace Bootstrap and jQuery? Use TailwindCSS+DaisyUI for front end? Use HTMX for Ajax calls?

 

[aeric]

With release of EndsMeet library, future updates for Pakai framework may depends on this new library.

Pakai framework v5 already begin development, using EndsMeet library.

Build a wizard

I have been thinking of the similar idea for a while as a plug-in library or tool.

I always unable to decide on which frontend UI and library to use.

Even though I am not good in jquery but it is what I feel more comfortable to work with.

I am thinking to create version 1 which is still based on boostrap4 + jquery and version 2 will be based on bootstrap5 + htmx.

The wizard will be in a web interface.

Pakai Server v6.00 development has started.
This version aims to include MiniHtml library to generate the html files and attempt to remove jQuery to build the frontend.

After trying to build with Metis template, I found it is not mobile friendly.
Now I am making next attempt with TailAdmin (Tailwind CSS + AlpineJS)
UI generated using MiniHtml library.

Edit: Project is now available open source.

Next version of Pakai Server v6.36 will integrate back WebApiUtils to become a Rest API server.

The heavy work is now on the migration of Bootstrap v4 which used jQuery to Bootstrap v5 + HTMX in HelpHandler.

This is a very challenging task especially making HTMX work to support http calls using dynamic URL.

There are also many breaking UI changes and differences between Bootstrap v4 and v5.

Next version of Pakai Server v6.36 will integrate back WebApiUtils to become a Rest API server.

HelpHandler is an underrated class that deserved a better recognition.
I am thinking to take it out from Pakai Server template and make it as an optional module.
In fact, the latest version of Pakai Server v6 is not yet integrated with the HelpHandler.

I think need to create a new tool.

Sync Modules and Libraries

Maybe this has been asked before. I wish B4J has functions (either): 1. Enable auto-sync of Modules and Libraries where an option is checked in menu Tools -> IDE Options or 2. Add a sync button in Modules and Libraries similar to Files Manager tab. Additionally, we can use hotkeys combination...
