31st of May
This is a summary of Front-end Forum held on Wednesday the 31st of May, 2023.
Forum summary
This time the forum gathered about 4 persons physically in Samhandlingssonen, and 7 on Teams. This is a record-low attendance, but there's many deadlines out there to be met now before summer. For the brave: Thanks for showing up, do spread the knowledge and the word about Front-end Forum.
Topics that we covered during this session were:
Core Components
- One breaking-branch (so no big releases for a little longer)
- Some components getting attention
- Specifically some form components are poorly written and creates a lot of headache for users and maintainers.
- Font still an issue (being actively worked on)
Form Patterns
- 3 collab sessions
- Slack: #forms-patterns
- These sessions have now concluded, and discipline leaders are taking over to diggest the material and handover at some point to Builders.
UU
- Two half-days
- Open discussion
- See the videos
- Recording: #digitalisering-og-design
- Slack: #accessibility
Digital Tribe Summit DK
- I did a Best Practice-talk on front-end, talked about our practices for good frontend, and informed how to contribute to Core.
- Did a quick 2 hour workshop where they built an CRA that displayed data from the TrustPilot API.
Builders Platform updates
- Header: CTA - buttons programmable now that button-wrapper has an ID.
- App Loader now has data-object directly on the mounted element, no need for round-tripping.
- Added stuff in URL? Stored in SessionStorage from now on.
- #builders-platform has more details - always.
Sharing is caring
- Prefered places to share common code / snippets / etc?
- Extensions / addons?
- Conclusions in the room/teams was that "open for the public eye" could be a Github-repo everyone could send PRs to.
- More private things should be kept to Confluence.
- Addons/small things: use #frontend on Slack?
Future of Front-end Forum
- Any wishes? What works? What doesn’t? What’s missing?
- No feedback from the room, but earlier feedback was "let teams share what they work on", room agreed that sounded interesting.
- I might send out a form of some sorts, specifically interested if another day/time/frequency could trigger more people to attend.
