AASX Package Explorer V3 2023-11-17.alpha

During the conversion of V1 or V2 compatible AASX Files, if the files consists of empty lists of AAS-resources (e.g., empty list of Keys in a Reference), such lists are converted to corresponding null object (e.g., a null reference).

Currently the DataSpecification from the EmbeddedDataSpecification is treated as an optional parameter. An incosistency in cardinality of DataSpecfication has been noticed among the Specifications, SwaggerHub Definitions and the aas-core-works rendered HTML pages. The issue has been created for the same.

TEST.AASX Package Explorer 2021-07-10.alpha

First test of version with AnyUI!

Please be careful, since this version may be less stable.

This version integrates a long list of commits with respect to the AnyUI approach. This approach abstracts the editing of AAS elements (right hand side of the UI, but without forms & plugins) into a technology-neutral "package logic". This makes it possible, that all possible editing actions could be provided by different UI technologies, particularily desktop (WPF) and HTML server (Blazor).

Large fractions of the AnyUI project were restructered. This integration took the orignal comments (source code files) and integrated these manually by hand into the current master.

Further (larger) developments are the integration of multi-select and AAS events .

Multi-select is (again) an extended UI feature. Multiple elements in the tree of AAS elements (middle section) can be marked with Control- or Shift-Key hold down. Appropriate editing actions are provided on the right hand panel. Not for all elements all actions are already possible; further extensions have to take place.

A nice feature is subscribing to AAS repositories by AAS events. AAS events are animated in the middle section. A lower panel (hidden by default) provides a protocol of events. Events can be passed to MQTT.
Please take a look on https://admin-shell-io.com/screencasts/ #55.

If you want to test the HTTP Blazor UI, you need to use the soursecode and compile with Visual Studio by yourself.
Please run the blazorUI project in the solution.
A running demo can be found on https://admin-shell-io.com:5005/ . Be aware that the editor UI is only partly implemented at the moment.
Viewing and uploading .AASX work well already.
Currently this is only a single instance of an editor. Serveral users may open it at the same time, but the AAS edited is always the same.
You may also switch on the edit mode, but please only change idshort for testing.
You may GET an .AASX from an AASX Server by entering e.g. https://admin-shell-io.com/51411/server/getaasx/0 .
In the upcoming months this will be extended to a fully funtional HTTP browser based editor.

Update 2021-08-03
The HTTP Blazor UI now supports multi instance. You may open several browser windows at the same time or several users may edit their AASX independently.
Besides entering the address as text you may also use the dropdown in the middle to select shared file system or repo.
Further edit functions are supported.
