We want to make a haddock3 web application that uses
- bartender for job execution.
- workflow-builder to construct a Haddock3 workflow config file.
- haddock3 to compute
As the workflow-builder is written in TypeScript, so we will use TypeScript for the web application. We are using NodeJS for runtime.
The bartender web service provides an OpenAPI specification. To talk to the bartender web service, we use an OpenAPI client.
A client can be generated with different tools.
- openapi-generator-cli
- NodeJS wrapper around Java based openapi-generator
- swagger-js, dynamic client
- has no TypeScript support
- swagger-codegen
- must download jar file self
Picked openapi-generator-cli because it is easy to install and use.
A meta framework is a framework around a UI framework like React to build a web application with server side rendering (SSR).
As workflow-builder is written in React we need to use a meta framework that is compatible with React.
Looked at suggestions at https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project
- Next.js
- unable to intergrate workflow builder as it uses wasm import which webpack wants to resolve at build time instead of runtime.
- Remix
- workflow builder works without jumping through hoops
- Gatsby
Picked Remix.
- Prisma
- does joins in client instead of database, so if we need to do a lot of joins we will want to switch to something else.
- TypeOrm
- Kysely
- db client
- Drizzle ORM
Picked Drizzle ORM because it is more SQL-like and has less magic than prisma like dts generation or rust backend.
- zod
- valibot
Picked valibot as it newer.
