Open issues/risks

We are currently blocked on the SDK cfx build tool's conversion to JavaScript and the promise of support of this piece of code by the SDK team.

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Enable saving data to the client machine that will be used in constructing Jetpack-based add-ons locally. In addition, use these features to enable the app to operate in offline mode.

2. Users & use cases

This feature will decrease build times and allow the developer to continue working when they don't have connectivity.

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

  • Sync, edit, and save packages to IndexedDB
    • Rework the front-end code, with the help of the Add-on Builder extension, to sync add-ons/libraries to IndexedDB for editing on the user’s local machine.
  • Compile add-on XPIs locally
    • With the help of the Jetpack Runner, make it possible for compilation of XPIs to be performed locally on the user’s machine.
  • Enable offline use of the app
    • Detect and handle the user entering offline mode. Writing of data should save on the file system and sync to FlightDeck servers when a data connection is established.
