Library component LOB/Enterprise

[franklupo]

I am rewriting an application from MudBlazor to FluentUI. I am missing some components and I am creating them.
For example:

• DataFilter
• TextPassword
• OTP Input
• ...

I know they are not part of this library. I could create a library and publish it on NuGet, but I think it is a waste. You have created separate projects for Icons, Emojii, EntityFramework, what do you think about creating a "LOB/Bussiness/Enterprise" component project for these?

Thank you for your availability

I think it would be a good idea to have a sort of 'extensions' project. We have always had the idea that the library itself is not meant to provide everything. That is why we, for example, do not include charts or a rich text editor.

So, extension library is okay, but it can't be something in this repo nor in the Microsoft.FluentUI... namespace. If either of that would be the case, it would also be our responsibility and we can't /don't want to take on this extra load. Being part of the microsoft GitHub org is not free in the sense of time and effort.

Of course we are fully committed to supporting such a endeavor. Maybe someone can set up a new GitHub organization for this?

I thought about FluentCx as well.. . Fluent Community Extension

[franklupo]

In summary:

• Organiztion: FluentUI-Blazor-Community
• First Repository: FluentUI.Blazor.Communty
• Preix: FluentCx

something is missing?

[vnbaaij]

LGTM! (looks good to me!)

[franklupo]

@dvoituron what do you think?

[dvoituron]

Yes, I think FluentUI.Blazor.Community namespace and FluentCx prefix are good choice.

Other "details" during the project creation: to include a Unit Tests project and GitHub actions to build and verify these tests :-)

[franklupo]

What do you think of the logo?

[franklupo]

What role do I assign you in the repository?

[vnbaaij]

I'd say contributor or member. Just not administrator

[franklupo]

I added you.
You could add: the empty project like this with src,test,action.

best regads

Can I clone this repository as a base for https://github.com/fluentui-blazor-community/FluentUI.Blazor.Community.Components?

It would look something like this

[vnbaaij]

Yes, you can copy the structure

[saint4eva]

Why not something like CommunityToolkit.FluentUI.Blazor? Maui and WinUI have community toolkits. Maybe you can take a look at how they are doing it.

• CommunityToolkit.FluentUI.Blazor.Core

• CommunityToolkit.FluentUI.Blazor.Extensions (then you can have under Extensions things like - Graphs, Charts, Platforms (platform specific), Buttons, Texts, Icons etc)

[vnbaaij]

Don't think CommunityToolkit is a good home for this. It is specific to technology areas like MAUI and WinUI. Fluent UI is not such an area but just a narrow part of the Blazor landscape. (so something like CommunityToolkit.Blazor could be a thing!)

Are these CommunityComponents being developed? I've seen the repo but has no files in it!

[vnbaaij]

I'm not sure what the status is. @dvoituron and I will try to help there, but we do not own it. If we would, things could just as well be in this repo.

@franklupo Maybe open up the discussion forum in the community repo as well?

[franklupo]

Non sono sicuro di quale sia la situazione.@dvoiturone cercherò di aiutare lì, ma non ne siamo i proprietari. Se lo fossimo, le cose potrebbero benissimo essere in questo repo.

@franklupoForse dovresti aprire un forum di discussione anche nel repository della community

sorry I'm very busy at the moment. I can't now
