RL053 Nate Cavanaugh - UI news in Liferay 7
I met repeat guest Nate Cavanaugh, Liferay's Director of UI Engineering, at this year's Devcon and he answered all UI-based questions that we could quickly think about - specifically with regards to Liferay 7.
As we recorded this on site at Devcon, you'll hear more background noise than usual - Auphonic did their best to clean the recording, and they did a great job.
Here are some of the topics that we talked about:
- UI frameworks get out of style soon. Can I still use AngularJS?
- Do I have to throw everything away that I have invested already?
- The YUI story and what its discontinuation means for AlloyUI
- Will AUI be reimplemented on jQuery? Is jQuery part of Liferay 7? What about different versions of jQuery?
- metal.js
- Lexicon, UI-Language, User Interface Guidelines
- Artifacts and Implementation of Lexicon
- Bootstrap, Bootstrap components, Atlas, the bootstrap versions in Liferay 6.2 and the components of it that are available.
- What happens when Bootstrap 4 comes out?
- Single Page Application, SPA, SennaJS: Go without full page reloads, largely by default.
- New Theming Tools - You can also use new tools in Liferay 6.2 (AYOR though). No more _diffs folder, pure frontend packages, themelets.
- What kind of themelets do we wish to have?
- We probably have forgotten something. Ask your questions in the comment section of this episode to be covered in future episodes.
