Current status

I'm currently working on DomUI 2.0. This will be a big change where a lot of problematic things will be rewritten. As a consequence the master branch's code is unstable and a work in progress. This also has its effect on the demo application as that is also updated, changed, and uses the unstable 2.0 master.

Progress on the work is tracked on github, and the github issue list and planboard should be updated with things to do/done.

Getting started

• What is DomUI

• Quick DomUI facts for a developer

• Checking out DomUI itself and running the demo application in Maven and IntelliJ

• Using the skeleton app as the basis for a new application (encouraged)

• Using a Maven artefact to create a bare bones application (discouraged)

• Installing the IntelliJ Idea plugin for DomUI

Demo and build information

• The currently very ugly demo application (automatically deployed from master builds)

• The travis-ci build page - with many thanks to the people hosting that great service!

• The maven build reports for the last build (be it branch or master)

• The Selenium test reports for the last build (branch or master)

• Github / TravisCI / DeployHQ details

• FAQs and issues

Reference and todo's

• Installing Oracle Database 12c R2 on Ubuntu 18.04

• Sass and Scss

  • The SassMeister website to quickly test Sass fragments is a Godsend.

• Maven

  • Using the Eclipse compiler inside Maven builds

• CSS Styling frameworks

  • Bulma looks quite promising (Thanks Yoeri). It also has a theme site.

    • Reports about experimenting with Bulma

  • Materializecss which shows a way to style the upload button

  • Semantic UI

  • Juiced

    • Has some nice alternative to checkbox: switches

  • Spectre

    • Has a very interesting "loading" modifier to classes - see the css in the examples

  • Bootstrap does not seem to be a good plan: it changes versions quickly once one is there, but the last one is a complete rewrite and has taken > 2 years already. It also seems big and bloated.

• Form designs worth looking at

  • https://codepen.io/nikhil8krishnan/pen/gaybLK and https://codepen.io/lukeandrewreid/pen/OVPGXN
