GSoC'20 : Week-8 of Coding Period | Implemented template forms for JSON files

Week 12 of GSoC'20

PR7: Initial layout of Form-like editors

This PR is intended to push the newly created form like editors for the file variants localdomain.json, variables.json, pools.json, modules.json. A live simulation can be experienced at https://gsoc-abhi-147d7.web.app.

This week, I had been working on creating the UI of the form like editor, which can be regarded as the most interesting feature which is being built in the GSoC period and I can undoubtedly say that the users working with FLINT will also have the same opinion, after the software is rolled out to production.

I would like to share some of the illustrations which has been built over the week.

• The libraries section contain drop-down menu to choose Library Name and Library Type. Other option has also been provided to specify user-defined library name.
• Add Libraries and Remove Libraries option has also been provided.
• The LocalDomain section uses DatePicker and other customized TextField widgets to ease user efforts.

Illustartion of Variables.json showing the basic fields

moja global's Technical Steering Committee meeting

We had a TSC meeting day before yesterday, where we had a lot of new members, both mentors and mentees across the globe. The agenda of the meeting was to come up with new ideas, features and functionality, which can be infused with existing moja global's softwares, getting new contributors to contribute to the repositories and helping them to ease their onboarding process. This is an awesome new idea, to sustain the open source ecosystem, to help new-comers to feel comfortable and increase the reach of the organisation. All thanks to @guy sir for the awesome new initiatives.
