Intro
The BDE (Browser based Development Environment) is a web application that allows its users to load existing compound components (aka. "compounds") as well as to create new Cubbles components by composition of existing ones.
State of Development
The BDE is not ready for productive usage. The current state implements the basic approach and is intended to collect feedback with respect to the goals and features.
Key Features:
- Requires a local web browser only (current version of Chrome or Firefox)
- Different views to model, layout and preview the component
- Dataflow View - view and modify the internal structure of a component.
- create / remove members
- visualize each members slots
- define intitial values for input slots
- create / remove connections between output and input -slots
- auto layout the whole structure
- Design View - modify the layout the component
- arrange members using a number of rows
- specify display properties of each row
- Application View - see the current state of the component in action.
- test the component
- works without any upload or build step before
- Dataflow View - view and modify the internal structure of a component.
- Connectable with any accessible Cubbles Base
Use Cases:
- Fork existing components and create your individual mutation.
- Visualize the structure of existing compound components.
- Test an existing compound component - before its integration into a website.
- Rapid prototyping with short feedback loops.
