Building a UI for fedimint module, where to start?

[toyota-corolla0]

I am excited to say that I am ready to start building a UI for my prediction markets module. I am not sure where to start with this and would appreciate some advice. Thanks!!!

You could try to patch it into webimint: https://github.com/elsirion/webimint-rs

There isn't really a standard way of implementing module UIs yet, probably because there are barely any Fedimint UIs (I'm aware of Fedi and webimint, we should curate a list). For ideas how it might work as a Fedi mod @wbobeirne or @justinmoon might be able to chime in.

Can you describe what your module does, and what you'd like a UI to do? It's a little hard to make specific recommendations without knowing a bit more. If you want a UI for administrating your module, understanding the gateway UI and gateway server API would be a good place to start. If you're trying to make a client-focused module, then webimint might be your best bet.

BTW. I'd start with implementing ClientModule::handle_cli_command. It will allow you to build fedimint-cli with support for interacting with the module which is currently the only standard "UI".

@elsirion Webimint is exactly what I was looking for! thanks!

@wbobeirne I should have specified, the client side UI is what I want to work on. quick explanation of my module.

@dpc I have implemented ClientModule::handle_cli_command and the module seems to be all working as intended. I have not written any test yet though and will need to start working on that.

Thanks for the replies!
