Project Description

Customer Management and Patchfinder are 2 sub applications in SCC that are written in AngularJS (1.7.5). This version of Angular is very outdated, and upgrading to the latest version would basically be a full rewrite because of the way Angular changed.

We would like to experiment with the latest components of Rails 7 like Turbo and Hotwire to see if we can recreate those apps without the need to maintain a full frontend framework.
As a side-effect, by switching to Importmaps we can simplify our asset pipeline.

Goal for this Hackweek

Having a prototype running.

Results

We managed to create a patch + package search prototype based on Turbo frames that aims at replacing the current solutions on scc.suse.com.
