Roadmap

[NetWin]

This is a non exclusive list of things i want to change / i've already done in this repository.
There is no specific timeframe yet but i expect this stuff to be done definitely by the end of this year

Planned changes / features for the near future or in active development

• Introduce ng-doc
  • In order to improve Component documentation
  • Include Demos and interative Playgrounds
• Add issue / PR templates,
• Maybe Look into Github Projects (probably not necessary though)
• Add commitlint
• Convert all components to Standalone
  • Drop all the modules (where it makes sense)
  • Only export Components that are relevant to consumers
• Remove UnixDateTimeAdapter
  • Just use date and convert them yourself if needed
  • We'll probably be able to remove all the generic T declarations internally and just use Date instead
• Remove the datepicker directive that opens a angular material popup
  • If you need a popup, just build your own and embed the inline picker
  • ...
• Cleanup the component styles
  • When removing the material popup, the necessity of providing global styles will probably be removed and we can finally just use component styles

Planned changes / feature for the medium / distant future

• Introduce strict mode
• Look into automatic dependency update notifications á la Renovate
• Look over issues within the source repository (https://github.com/danielmoncada/date-time-picker/issues)

Stuff i already did

• Update Linter (TSLint -> ESLint)
• Fix hundrets of linter warnings
• Introduce automatic publishing via Semantic-Release within Github actions
  • master branch automatically releases a production / latest release
  • release/* branches automatically deploy rc releases
• Automatic code formatting using prettier
  • I'm personally not a fan of prettier itself but i can acknowledge the importance / usefulnes of unified automatic code formatting within an public /open source repo
• Automatic Linting / Formatting in a pre-commit hook using lint-staged and husky
