This requires the UI to be flexible and generic. **Goal:** To have the ability to display a large amount of varying data types in a simple and consistent way. This requires us to have a unified way of presenting and consuming data. Currently Geo has **3 different** ways we consume and present data. This of course is contradictory to the **Goal** above. ### How Geo Consumes Data 1. **Type A (< 12.6)** - View is built specifically in HAML and served via Rails Controller 1. **Type B (12.6 - 13.0)** - View is built specifically in Vue and served via RESTful API 1. **Type C (> 13.0)** - View is built generically in Vue and served via GraphQL API ### Breakdown of currently supported Data Types | DataType | Type | | ------ | ------ | | Projects | Type A | | Uploads | Type A | | Designs | Type B | | Package Files | Type C | ### Proposal * [x] Create Generic Approach to Routing, Views, and GraphQL * [x] Scale Geo Node Status Bars * [ ] Convert Type A and Type B to Type C ## How ### Generalization * [x] [Support Parameterized Routing/Controller/Views for Replication](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219315) * [x] [Support Parameterized Registries via GraphQL](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219402) * [ ] [Unify Replicable Type Variables](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219942) ### Geo Node Status Bars ~backend - [x] [Provide generated list of Replicable Types to the Node Status Frontend](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/228700) - [x] [Scale Geo Status Endpoint to handle new SSF replicable types](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219938) - [ ] [Replace new RESTful Geo Status Endpoint with GraphQL ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/228718) ~frontend - [x] [Hook up new Geo Replicable List in Geo Nodes](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/228722) ### Geo Replicable (Designs) - Type B -> Type C * [ ] [Convert Designs API to GraphQL](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219412) * [ ] [Remove RESTful support in Geo Replicables](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219417) ### Geo Replicable (Projects) - Type A -> Type C * [ ] [Create Projects Endpoint in GraphQL](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219413) * [ ] [Convert Projects from HAML -> Vue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216319) ### Geo Replicable (Uploads) - Type A -> Type C * [ ] [Create Uploads Endpoint in GraphQL](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219415) * [ ] [Convert Uploads from HAML -> Vue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216317)
