GitLab

We want to break up g1 into independent repositories. This will popularize g1 components because:

• People prefer libraries with a single purpose
• They are more likely to use it (and contribute back) since the learning curve is less

Approach:

• mapviewer: mapviewer.js, leaflet-utils.js
• urlfilter: url.js, urlfilter.js, urlchange.js, ajaxchain.js
• some template library: template.js
• sanddance: sanddance.js
• g1: Gramex specific components:
  • datafilter.js
  • formhandler.js
  • translate.js
• ... and other components which we may re-package later
  • dropdown.js
  • scale.js
  • types.js
  • highlight.js
  • search.js
  • fuzzysearch.js
  • TODO: Find out how to handle dependencies, e.g. event.js.

Note: g1 will continue to import these libraries and function as before -- fully backward compatible.

Approach for mapviewer

• Create a repo: github.com/gramener/mapviewer
• Create an npm package called mapviewer via this repo. This should export an ES6 module (src/mapviewer.js) and UMD module (dist/mapviewer.js) via package.json
• Migrate test cases
• Refactor g1 to use import the mapviewer package as an ES6 module
