TODO

• MAJOR Implement configuration manager:
  • configuration is a set of signals (that can be organized in group and subgroup) that are used to configure a system or a sub system
  • with configuration manager user should be able to:
    • Define and manage configuration sets: delete (keep server side copy of deleted config), create (specifying default to parameters, mandatory, optional etc), edit (with versioning git style) and compare set
      • user can fork an existing config instance to create a new one
      • user can compare two instances: show unified diff or side by side diff
      • etc...
    • Create, delete (keep server cache), edit (git style versioning) and compare configuration instances: meaning set actual value to a configuration set
      • user can fork an existing config instance to create a new one
      • user can compare two instances: show unified diff or side by side diff
      • etc...
  • user can apply and save configuration instances from manager
  • in logic editor and control loop add nodes to read/write/create/apply config instances
  • support for all supported types (number, bools, enums, arrays, string etc)
  • ux elements for config set
    • the configuration editor should automatically get type and info from signal when possible
    • a slick tree drag and drop editor to order elements and organize in group and sub-groups
    • possibility to customise unit, max, min etc
  • ux elements for config instances:
    • automatically use the correct setting widget depending on the type (e.g. combo for enum, nubmer input for number):
      • for arrays: import csv option, display points as mini plot (+ open dialog plot with more info), manual enter points via table like interface
    • automatically fill with default or existing values (when forking an existing instance)
    • explicity show errors/missing info and give additional info on hover
  • add advanced validation / transformation framework to configurations using custom CUE rules:
    • backend should run validation / transformation rules
    • user can create/edit/delete/compare rules from webui:
      • integrate syntax highlight
      • integrate autocomplete for signals names and cue grammars
      • integrate cue lsp
    • when validation fail error should be propagated to user in the webui
    • all action should be tracked via history management and audit
• Improve UX:
  • Synthetic editor:
    • color code the node link by type
    • hover on a block in error should show the reason
    • add proper array functionality
    • add shortcut to add Signals (S) and nodes (N) with HUD
  • Panels:
    • in view mode the widgets should have no border/bg but blend with background
    • add widgets such as toggle switch, table and other industrial hmi widgets
    • add container widgets: labelled/title pane, tab panes, collapsable panes etc
  • plot pane:
    • add toolbar
  • clean ui:
    • create small statusbar where connection widget and other status related info will be placed
    • group advanced items (audit/control loops/config manager etc) in a tool menu or something similar to not fill the toolbar
    • make the toolbar as clean as possible
• Logic editor:
  • add full support to local array values: dynamic, dynamic but capped max, fixed size etc:
    • array functions should work with new local array
• Control loop:
  • add full support to server side array values
• Implement git style versioning for: synthetic variable, panels, control logic:
  • possibility to fork any version
  • click to view the version
  • possibility to view graphical diff between versions (side by side or unified diff)
  • simple slick versioning pane:
    • vertical tree like
    • each version represented by a circle
    • active (the one currently view/edited) version has circle bigger then rest
    • selected (the one that will be executed/showed by user) version has circle full, not active only border
    • unsaved / new version appear with connection line dashed
• Implement admin pane: create / manage groups, set users permits, manage auditors etc
• Implement new datasources:
  • Finalize alarm service
  • modbus tcp
  • scpi tcp
  • udp? other?
• MAJOR Implement proper distributed server side nodes to balance load and have redundancy (if a node is not available anymore all its clients migrate seamelessly to another)
