Roadmap

This document outlines the planned features, improvements, and technical debt items for the project. Items are organized by priority and implementation timeline.

Architecture Overview

🏗️ Configuration-Driven Feature System

This project uses a JSON-driven architecture that allows features to be defined declaratively and automatically generated:

Feature Configuration (src/config/features.json): Define features, endpoints, UI elements, and data types in JSON
Automatic UI Generation: Navigation items and components are generated by looping over the configuration
Reusable Components: Shared components (DataGrid, FormDialog, ConfirmDialog) are used across all features
Easy Feature Management: Enable/disable features by changing a single flag in the JSON
Type-Safe: TypeScript interfaces ensure type safety across the configuration

Benefits:

Add new features by updating JSON configuration
Consistent UI patterns across all features
Reduced code duplication
Easy maintenance and scalability
Feature flags for controlled rollouts

See src/config/features.json for the complete feature configuration.

Current Status
