This continues iteration on the DAS UI by adding the ability to directly
navigate to a recommendation summary by (namespaced) slug and a copy
button for the direct navigation link.
It includes a change to CopyButton allowing it to take a block that’s
rendered within the button.
It also changes some instances of multi-relationship traversal to use
in-summary attributes, such as summary.jobNamespace instead of
summary.job.namespace.name.
I originally planned to add component documentation, but as this dragged on and I found that JSDoc-to-Markdown sometimes needed hand-tuning, I decided to skip it and focus on replicating what was already present in Freestyle. Adding documentation is a finite task that can be revisited in the future.
My goal was to migrate everything from Freestyle with as few changes as possible. Some adaptations that I found necessary:
• the DelayedArray and DelayedTruth utilities that delay component rendering until slightly after initial render because without them:
◦ charts were rendering with zero width
◦ the JSON viewer was rendering with empty content
• Storybook in Ember renders components in a routerless/controllerless context by default, so some component stories needed changes:
◦ table pagination/sorting stories access to query params, which necessitates some reaching into Ember internals to start routing and dynamically generate a Storybook route/controller to render components into
◦ some stories have a faux controller as part of their Storybook context that hosts setInterval-linked dynamic computed properties
• some jiggery-pokery with anchor tags
◦ inert href='#' had to become href='javascript:;
◦ links that are actually meant to navigate need target='_parent' so they don’t navigate inside the Storybook iframe
Maybe some of these could be addressed by fixes in ember-cli-storybook but I’m wary of digging around in there any more than I already have, as I’ve lost a lot of time to Storybook confusion and frustrations already 😞
The STORYBOOK=true environment variable tweaks some environment settings to get things working as expected in the Storybook context.
I chose to:
• use angle bracket invocation within stories rather than have to migrate them soon after having moved to Storybook
• keep Freestyle around for now for its palette and typeface components
