Discuss Upgrades and React

Work Required

  • React Support for Translations

  • React Automated Testing

  • Build Process Improvements - Simplifying the Page Creation Process/Code

  • Continuous upgrades for dependencies/libraries

  • Upgrade Implementer Customization document and templates for React

Work Plan

  • Will upgrade pages over time with 20% tech-debt time

    • Starting with “easiest” upgrades to more difficult ones

    • Will create a plan for the order of page upgrades

  • Will create reusable components as needed

  • All new work will be in React

Questions

  • How does this impact implementation customizations?

    • Pages upgraded to React will no longer support customizations made in Angular

      • Wes - This is not acceptable, breaking changes must be limited and implementations given lots of notifications

  • How do we integrate contributions written in Angular?

    • Contributions must be ported to React to be incorporated

      • Only for pages updated to React or newly created pages

      • Changes to pages still in Angular can remain in Angular

    • Over time, all community guidance will be updated to React
