Anmerkungen:

• 1. the server reuses WP server, exposes RESTful API to the client; 2. the client build on AngularJS with Node.js ecosystem.

Anmerkungen:

• SPA: Single Page Application

1. why SPA?
   1. deployable on various devices

      Anmerkungen:

      • 1. support various browsers on PC or Mobile.chrome, firefox, safari, IE9+ 2. it is very likely ported to native app  with help of ionic or cordova. 
   2. independent to the server as far as possible

      Anmerkungen:

      • 1. only use Restful api to access the server; 2. developing independent.
   3. AngularJS generic support SPA

      Anmerkungen:

      • AngularJS was designed to support SPA.
   4. uses old WP server

      Anmerkungen:

      • it is not quite fit to use php server with angularJS technically. And we will use nodejs to re-implement the server.
2. why AngularJS?
   1. good ecosystem

      Anmerkungen:

      • 1. adapt with nodejs app and tools 2. adapt with other javascript frameworks (bootstrap, jquery) 3. rich maintenance tool chain, yeoman, gulp, bower, generator-ng-poly
   2. good official support

      Anmerkungen:

      • thousands of generic widget ready to be used.
   3. future trends

      Anmerkungen:

      • 1. dominant browsers support ,  more important generic support with next generation browser of Microsoft; 2. ecosystem is growing;
   4. engineering features

      Anmerkungen:

      • 1. hind low level DOM manipulation, make development quick and hide details; 2. modularization makes project extensible.
   5. testable

      Anmerkungen:

      • angularJS big feature, everything could be tested. 

Anmerkungen:

• project managed by ng-poly, it is a nodejs tools powered by gulp.js. project management have following features.

1. automatic building

   Anmerkungen:

   • no makefile, no ant.  add source code and build with it. that all no additional makefile and we got runnable package.
2. configurable by javascript

   Anmerkungen:

   • Based on generator ng-poly and gulp. programmer could add extra code to load correct module, start processes. Use javascript(nodejs) to manage all you need.
3. production capacity and development mode

   Anmerkungen:

   • 1 .enable to minify and uglify source code, css. we can build for production. 2. we also configure to connect to different server at developping stage. 
4. Test module

   Anmerkungen:

   • we have unit test and e2e test.
5. independent developping

   Anmerkungen:

   • Thanks to ng-poly, we setup a local rest emulator. it emulator the server restful APIs and programmable. we could develop the client without the server support. in the future if use nodejs as the server, it can be ported into it.

Anmerkungen:

• we treat all things as module. AngularJS provides this feature. module help us separate complicated things into simple pieces. there are two kinds of modules: UI modules and support modules; UI modules represent the WP business representation, they are application explorer, tasks etc.support modules acts supporting functionalities, like communication, error handler, widgets, common services etc.

1. LMe and LMi web business prepresentation(UI modules)

   Anmerkungen:

   • UI modules are business presentation layer, it includes app explorer(lme, lmi), tasks(lme, lmi), lme import packages, deployment(lme, lmi) , dashboard(profiles and computer deployment statistic in donut chart and bar chart)
2. support modules
   1. communication

      Anmerkungen:

      • communication between the client and server is complicated. we need divided its requirement into different layers.  1. DataResource layer, handles http issue; 2. business layer, handles response data and resolves business logic errors;
   2. error handler

      Anmerkungen:

      • we need a unified error handler I for exception issue. Error divided into four levels: fatal, error, warning, info. fatal error is unrecoverable exception, it should block user operation by modal dialog. others will not interrupt user operation in toast form, they could be ignored.
   3. components and widgets

      Anmerkungen:

      •  widgets is a little encapsulated module which could be reused. we have implemented some widgets by ourselves, such as navbar,  breadcrumb, bar and donut chart. for some common use widget we are using third party ones from angular official site.
   4. other miscs

      Anmerkungen:

      • some common usage utilities. services and directives

Anmerkungen:

• please show the work flow at the time.

Anmerkungen:

• 1.show some static pictures. 2. we would add some features: add GAR favorite; information of Deployment set status changing;
