Overview
EGL RUI (Rich UIs) allows you to build modern Rich Internet Applications that are written entirely in EGL (rather than having to learn and keep up with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).
The Visual Editor (VE) provides a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience in composing and laying out RUIs.
Requirements
This section is to document stories & scenarios that are essentially in-plan.
Story: Hello, World
As an EGL developer, I can build a "Hello, World" web application in which a user inputs their name, and I can implement a service that responds with the user's input prepended with "Hello, ".
(This video for EGL Community Edition 1.0 provides a good illustration of this scenario, although there will be some changes and some improvements.)
Scenario: Hello, world
| Step |
Description |
Features |
| Create a project |
User enters a project name, and a base package name. System creates a new EGL project
|
|
| Create a new view |
User enters name and package for a new RUIHandler |
|
| Create the UI consisting of a textfield and a button |
User drags a textfield from the VE Palette and drops it on the grid layout for their Handler; repeat for the button. |
|
| Create a simple service |
|
|
| Add logic to invoke the service when the button is clicked. |
|
|
| Preview the application to ensure that it works. |
|
|
| Debug the application by setting breakpoints in both the UI and the service |
|
|
| Deploy the application. |
|
|
| Run the deployed app. |
