[EPM] Elastic Package Manager Plugin - Tracking

[jasonrhodes]

In preparation for our Integrations Manager tool, we need to build out the basic Kibana plugin to start development.

The plugin is in the long-running branch feature-integrations-manager. No PR against master for now.

MVP functionality:

#39103 - Design

• See http://ela.st/integrations-manager-mvp-design

#45562 - List / Search view

Search

• Designs
• [IM] Search results #46171 - Client side filtering
• [IM] Search results #46171 - Search results replace Your Integrations & Available Integrations sections
• Any search result which is currently installed gets "Installed" badge ("beta" in EUI terms)

List

• Designs
• Sticky header with search field
• "Your Integrations" section
  • Installed items
  • Filters for "Installed" (not filtered) & "Updates available". Only one active filter at a time
• "Available Integrations" section
  • [Integrations Manager] List all integrations in "Available" section #45817 - All integrations. Even if already installed.
  • [IM] Category Filters for Available Integrations #46070 - Filters for "All" (not filtered) & each category. Only one active filter at a time.
  • Pagination (? so few items we can probably avoid or cut if time gets tight)

@jfsiii I suggest we close this issue as we created a first end-to-end prototype and now follow up with more specific implementation issues. Please reopen if you see it differently.
