Roadmap and Library architecture

Architecture

This library currently makes use of Svelte’s setContext/getContext API to provide a Molstar plugin state for the subcomponents.

More sophisticated design (like component factories / programmaic components) could be considered later, when the architecture and the feature scope of the library will be more clear.

NB: Molstar-wise, we actually use the PluginContext without the builtin React-UI.

Roadmap

(wip, and order relevance is relative :) )

~~create a simple wrapper component~~
put it in action in this doc and other projects, refine the API and styling (wrapper) concerns (outside plugin)
create a set of controls components (button-bar, debug ui, etc.), refine styling concerns (outside plugin)
refine the API around representation and coloring (in plugin)
A drag and drop component to load a file (most common formats, including ply).
explore a dedicated synchronized grid component, with zoomable/focusable thumbnails
explore a dedicated superposition component
