Description

The Apache APISIX Dashboard is designed to make it as easy as possible for users to operate Apache APISIX through a frontend interface.

The Dashboard is the control plane and performs all parameter checks; Apache APISIX mixes data and control planes and will evolve to a pure data plane.

This project includes manager-api, which will gradually replace admin-api in Apache APISIX.

Background

The plugin orchestration feature allows users to define the order of plugins to meet their scenarios. At present, we have implemented the plugin scheduling feature, but there are still many points to be optimized.

Task

1. develop a new plugin, conditional judgment card style. Currently, both the conditional judgment card and the plug-in card are square shaped, which makes it difficult for users to distinguish them, so in this task the conditional judgment card needs to be changed to a diamond shape. As shown in the figure below. 2. Add arrows for connecting lines.The connection lines in the current plugin orchestration are not directional, we need to add arrows to the connection lines as shown in the figure below.  3. Limit plugin orchestration operations. We need to restrict the connection of each card to ensure the proper use of the plugin orchestration, and the situation shown in the arrow below is not allowed.

Relevant Skills

1. Basic use of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

2. Basic use of  React Framework.
