Next Steps

Group A: Components that need discussion that are within UV repo

• [ ] @universalviewer/aleph - this lives outside of the UV repo in spite of using the UV npm organization; see https://github.com/aleph-viewer/aleph ; it has been superseded by aleph-r3f, so we should investigate the feasibility of replacing it with the maintained version of the dependency.
• [ ] @universalviewer/uv-ebook-components

Group B: Components that need updates that are outside the UV repo

• [x] @iiif/manifesto
• [x] @iiif/manifold
• [ ] @iiif/presentation-3 - seems maintained beyond UV community; who is responsible?
• [x] @iiif/vocabulary

Group C: Components with green light to fold back into UV

• [x] @iiif/iiif-metadata-component - PR ready for review - https://github.com/UniversalViewer/universalviewer/pull/1463
• [x] @iiif/iiif-tree-component - PR ready for review - https://github.com/UniversalViewer/universalviewer/pull/1481
• [x] @iiif/iiif-gallery-component - PR ready for review - https://github.com/UniversalViewer/universalviewer/pull/1472

Group D: Possible candidates for folding back, with some complications

• [ ] @iiif/iiif-av-component - Very large and complex; is folding the best option?
• [ ] @iiif/base-component - Cannot merge back until iiif-av-component is merged (due to interdependencies).

Group E: Components that need discussion that are in @edsilv's personal repo

• [x] @edsilv/http-status-codes
• [x] @edsilv/jquery-plugins
• [x] @edsilv/key-codes
• [x] @edsilv/utils

Just copy the code from the ones on my personal account into the UV repo. I don't use them for anything else.

[edsilv]

I think your best bet is probably to merge iiif-av-component and base-component into the UV. Doesn't really make sense to only have the AV component as separate and means anything else that depends on base-component will be easier to maintain.

Thanks, @edsilv!

One question that came up, @edsilv: what is the organizational principle behind uv-shared-module? Does everything just go in there, or would something large and complex like av-component justify a separate directory?

[edsilv]

I wouldn't put the AV component in there. Shared is just for generic stuff used across other modules

Hi all, I checked off @edsilv/jquery-plugins because it looks like that already exists in /src/content-handlers/iiif/JQueryPlugins.ts. It looks like all references in code were already updated so I think Ed's repo can likely be archived.

Thanks for the detective work, @Geoffsc. If that's the case, it should be possible to open a PR that just commits the results of npm uninstall @edsilv/jquery-plugins since apparently the package is redundant anyway. If everything still works after doing that, I think we're all set!

[demiankatz]

I also took a moment to diff the @edsilv/jquery-plugins version of the code vs. the version included in UV, and they seem pretty similar, with the main differences being accessibility improvements in the UV version. In other words, I don't think there's anything from the external repo that needs to be pulled in here. The only thing I saw in the external version that seemed absent from the UV version was code to trigger the onPressed callback in response to touchstart events... but I suspect that may have been intentionally removed from the UV version due to unwanted side effects.
