SPIKE: Introduce Advance Option for Kyma Modules

[valentinvieriu]

As Sebastian and Mathew I would like to enhance the Busola Extension by incorporating custom code. This will enable the development of more sophisticated UI interfaces for Kyma Modules, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience.
Acceptance Criteria:

• Primary Extension Method:

  • Ensure YAML remains the primary method for extending Busola, with efforts to enhance YAML functionalities for advanced usage.

• UI Integration and Positioning:

  • Utilize existing functionalities for menu positioning and item listing, with a focus on Detail page actions (view, edit, create).

• Proof of Concept (POC) Requirements:

  • Demonstrate a Detail Page for a Kyma Module that:
    • Utilizes custom code.
    • Makes at least one external API call.
    • Incorporates a minimum of 3 SAP UI5 Web components.
  • Extend the POC to cover Create/Edit views, illustrating the integration of custom code.
  • Ensure the custom code for the Busola Extension remains external to the Busola repository, allowing for independent release cycles.

• Security and Performance:

  • Address security concerns by proposing measures against arbitrary code execution and ensuring sandboxing for advanced extensions.
  • Optimize page loading with minimal impact, considering Lazy Loading strategies to enhance user experience.

• Technology and Implementation:

  • Prioritize general technology stacks and open technologies (e.g., Web Components) over custom frameworks.
  • Emphasize the reuse of SAP UI5 web components to avoid code duplication and reduce Busola download times.

• Demonstration and Documentation:

  • Prepare a demo to showcase the functionality, noting that code quality is not the primary evaluation criterion.
  • Provide a clear architecture and concise documentation on implementing such features in Busola, including a draft of necessary steps.
