Technical Approach
The App Store is built using the Django framework. The primary aim is to link the AppStore with bake which would require setting up REST API to the existing codebase for install/update/latest version of the modules, django-rest-framework will be used for the same. It was found out that the AppStore is built on Python2.7 and since the support is going to end in 2020, the first step of the project will be to port the AppStore codebase to the latest version of Python and Django. The REST APIs made would be used to add the command line support of install and update to bake. Later to enhance the features of the AppStore, GitHub and GitLab OAuth will be added, download statistics for each of the modules will be added. Later to support Multi-Threaded Comments, disqus will be used and the rating UI will be revamped using the django-star-ratings library. A detailed description of the project is available here
Milestones and Deliverables
The entire GSoC period is divided into 3 phases. The deliverable at the end of each phase is as mentioned below:
Phase 1
- Refactoring the existing code and port existing code to Python 3 and the latest version of Django
- REST APIs for install and latest version of the extension for the bake build system
- Add install option to the bake build system
Phase 2
- Add update option to the bake build system
- Add GitLab/Github OAuth support to AppStore
- Statistics (download count) for each the extension
Phase 3
- Multi-Threaded Comment using Disqus
- Dependency Management
- Ratings for the extensions on the AppStore
