Pandino - An OSGi - lite framework for JavaScript runtimes. #12669

|
I was wondering if it is possible to integrate Pandino as the base framework inside of Theia? Since Eclipse is built around OSGi why not stay in this paradigm even in the base framework foundation. |

It feels to me that this library fills the same role as Inversify? What would be key functionality differences? We use Inversify so extensively that I don't think we can change inversion of control framework without an extremely compelling reason... "Eclipse (framework) did it so why not Theia?" is not a valid argument IMO and the answer is that Pandino wasn't around when Theia was initially created back in Feb 2017. |

I thought that learning Inversify is adding one extra step in the learning curve and goes a bit unconventional to the people who already know the Eclipse Plugin framework. To keep the feeling the same I though this framework offers the same development feeling. Well my argument might not be that reasonable it was just an idea. |

I only know how to use Inversify and not OSGi ;) Marking as solved unless you want to bring more arguments in favor. |

Well I started a thread with the intent to combine all the features from OSGi inside of Javascript. The authors of many OSGi like DI container libraries put the effort to come up with same features but I think that taking other's earlier work can be used and implemented if many functionalities are missing. BlackBeltTechnology/pandino#102 If you don't know OSGi and want to see what kind of features it has then you can look at what is available in the state of the art modular UI framework like https://github.com/Drombler/drombler-fx You can look at how they are building the UI with annotations and modularity https://www.drombler.org/drombler-fx/1.0/docs/tutorial/index.html#tutorial |
