Tasks

• Handle multiple PVs on one widget (see Phoebus widget runtime code)
  • Could all these PVs be part of a single device?
• Define rule capabilities
• Prototype Pyburt UI
• Can a widget define its own new prop type?
• Simplify 'wrappers' and avoid extra divs where possible
• Allow group-box style border on any widget
• Forbid unrecognised parameters in prop-types
  • This would probably need to be done in parser.json when parsing files
• Allow PV values to be used as symbols, as in the EDM MenuMuxPV widget
• Make widget parsing more generic by allowing:
  • complex parsers to create multiple props
  • widgets to provide their own custom parsers
• Investigate React Testing Library

Fixes

• Handle unrecognised protocol (xyz://) better
• Handle alignment of groups in .bob files
• Add exponential formatting in text updates
• Add 'precision from PV' option to text updates
• Position class name clashes with built-in Position type
• Disable action button when writing to read-only PV
• Text update jitters when number turns negative
• "Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Syntax error." in the console
