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.
