- Reduction: 24 KiB (4.5% smaller)

Package updates:

- Update color functions: gray("700") -> $gray-700
- Add form-switch border-radius for curved toggles
- Update alert, table, toast, form, and button styles

Bootstrap-Vue-Next API changes:
- Use createBootstrap() for plugin registration
- Update modal footer slots: #modal-footer -> #footer
- Fix form select events: @change -> @update:model-value
- Add v-model bindings to modals instead of manual show()/hide()
- Update toast system with custom plugin wrapping useToast()
- Register components and directives explicitly

Vue 3 specific updates:
- Replace $root.$emit with mitt event bus (eventBus.js)
- Update render function from h(App) to createApp(App)
- Add emits option to components
- Use h() instead of $createElement in mixins
- Add Vue 3 compile-time feature flags with documentation
- Update event listeners: $on/$off to eventBus methods
- Add beforeUnmount cleanup for event listeners

New components and significant additions:
- src/plugins/toast.js - Custom toast plugin wrapping useToast() for
  Options API compatibility
- src/components/Global/ConfirmModal.vue - Global confirmation dialog
  shim to replace Bootstrap 4's removed bvModal.msgBoxConfirm
- src/eventBus.js - mitt-based event bus with Vue 2-compatible API
- Navigation state preservation on page refresh implemented

Critical fixes:
- Add global API interceptor to strip Vue reactivity from payloads

- Fix Generate CSR modal v-model binding for proper open/close
- Remove debug logging and fix jest configuration
- Fix responsive text visibility in AppHeader
- Update BVTableSelectableMixin for proper row selection
- Fix BVToastMixin VNode rendering for Vue 3

Vue 3 modal fixes (lazy-loaded components):
- Add v-model support to network modals (ModalIpv4, ModalIpv6, ModalDns,
  ModalHostname, ModalMacAddress, ModalDefaultGateway) by adding
  modelValue prop, watcher on modelValue that triggers show(), and
  update:modelValue emit in resetForm
- Remove lazy loading from TableIpv4, TableIpv6, TableDns to ensure
  modal component refs are available when v-model triggers
- Fix modal title accessibility by adding title prop to modals
  (ModalAddDestination, ModalUser, ModalAddRoleGroup, etc.)

i18n fixes (computed properties):
- Fix computed properties using i18n translations in ModalAddRoleGroup,
  ModalUser, and ModalUploadCertificate
- Move useI18n() call from data() to setup() and return i18n object
- Use i18n.t() instead of $t in computed properties and templates
- Prevents "this.$t is not a function" and "_ctx.$t is not a function"
  errors in Vue 3

Toast notification fixes:
- Fix toast progress bar visibility by setting progressProps to
  undefined (documented way to opt-out) instead of false
- Change modelValue prop to interval for auto-dismiss timing
- Remove temporary CSS display:none hack from _toasts.scss

Network settings fixes:
- Fix checkbox @change event sending Vue reactive proxy object instead
  of boolean by casting with !! operator in changeDomainNameState and
  related methods in NetworkGlobalSettings.vue
- Ensures API receives plain boolean values in PATCH requests

Navigation fixes:
- Fix nav-link styling for navigation items without children by
  replacing b-nav-item with router-link in AppNavigation.vue
- Prevents blue font color from .nav-link CSS class

Configuration updates:
- Remove vue-compat webpack configuration
- Add Vue 3 feature flags (__VUE_OPTIONS_API__, etc.)
- Add .cursor to .gitignore

Accessibility improvements:
- Add autocomplete attributes to password and credential inputs
- Add modal title props for screen reader support

Build completes successfully and UI behavior matches pre-migration.

webui-vue

webui-vue is a web-based user interface for the OpenBMC firmware stack built on Vue.js.

Hold on... What happened to phosphor-webui?

phosphor-webui was built on AngularJS and AngularJS went End of Life on June 30, 2021. This repository is its replacement.

When will this new Vue.js application reach feature parity with phosphor-webui?

A few, mostly minor, features remain for feature parity. See GitHub Issues label:phosphor-webui-feature-parity for the complete list.

What improvements does webui-vue have?

As mentioned, this application is built using Vue.js, a modern open-source Model-View-ViewModel JavaScript framework supported by an active community and strong documentation. It has been architected to allow organizations to easily update the theme to support their brand. This rewrite takes advantage of front-end development best practices and does not suffer from some of the anti-patterns that exist in phosphor-webui today.

Should I switch to webui-vue from phosphor-webui?

It is recommended you switch from phosphor-webui if you haven't already.

webui-vue has the following additional features:

  • Ability to easily theme to meet brand guidelines
  • Accessibility
  • Full Redfish
  • Improved user experience based on user feedback
  • Language translation-ready
  • Modern front-end framework with an active community and future development roadmap

How can I get involved?
