Widget Architecture

Architecture

When building new features, consider reaching out to relevant stakeholders as early as possible in the process.

Architectural decisions should be accessible to everyone. Document them in the relevant Merge Request discussions or by updating our documentation when appropriate by adding an entry to this section.

The Plan stage is refactoring the right sidebar to consist of widgets. They have a specific architecture to be reusable and to expose an interface that can be used by external Vue applications on the page. Learn more about the widget architecture.
