Unify Create Items

Comparison of current approach

Url to create a new Item in extent:

• http://localhost:5000/ItemAction/Extent.CreateItem?workspace=Data&extent=dm%3A%2F%2F%2Fissues&metaclass=dm%3A%2F%2F%2F_internal%2Ftypes%2Finternal%23IssueMeister.Issue
  • Action Type: Extent.CreateItem
  • Parameters:
    • Workspace
    • Extent
    • metaClass of Item to be created

Url to create a new item in a package:

• http://localhost:5000/ItemAction/Extent.CreateItemInProperty?workspace=Data&itemUrl=dm%3A%2F%2F%2Fissues%23b455e372-ad27-46c0-bd40-3b4419f9dc3a&metaclass=dm%3A%2F%2F%2F_internal%2Ftypes%2Finternal%23IssueMeister.Issue&metaclassworkspace=Types&property=packagedElement
  • Action Type: Extent.CreateItemInProperty
  • Parameters:
    • workspace
    • itemUrl
    • metaClass of item to be created
    • property

Idea

• We create one method, which manages both approaches. This reduces the number of potential issues caused by different implementations on both sides
• ActionType: Extent.CreateNewItem
• Parameters:
  • Workspace
  • itemUrl - Can be the exact Url or just the extent itself
  • Property: In case an item is created at an item, it will be created below that item
  • metaclass: As of today

There will be one action handler being able to manage the procedure

Implementation

• Create the new Action and perform registration

• Redirect 'Create New Item' of Extent Generation to that new action

• Redirect 'Create New Item' of Packages to that new action

• Show the form of the selected metaClass

• Update the Server Logic to manage the new Action Type

• Test the creation of a new item from Extent

• Test the creation of a new item from Package Child
