A

So hello guys today is Friday and this usually we we start weekly, msid MO and according to our agenda, which we shared recently, we will show you the really really fancy stuff which we've done in scope of the DDD changes, which was asked to be brought to the MSA by Anton. Creel and Alessandra will describe the status of these changes and what actually had been done by him so Alessandra feel free to share your screen and make presentations.

B

C

B

Think you should see my tweet.

B

Okay, so in the scope of applying.

B

To extract the domain logic of reservations in a separate module and as usual, we have.

A

Immediately, though, okay.

B

So we introduce these new two models: inventory reservations, API that as usual as usual, has the definition of our public API and specifically the append reservations, interface and reservation interface. So the interface describing the reservation entity and some concrete implementation of all concepts.

B

Probably, first of all the and reservation command implementation and all the accessories that we have in the scope of reservation, so clean up command the internal API to get reservation quantity. The reservation builder and NATO cannot case converted, which is used in scope of reservation, so I moved it in this module as well.

B

This implies for the cloud the crown used to clean up reservations at regular scheduled time and for the same reason, we extracted the operation of creating the reservation table, and here we have an interesting, an interesting thing to highlight the fact that previously we had a foreign key on this table pointing to the stock, but extracting this logic outside the stock, the inventories on outside the inventory module.

B

We got rid of this foreign key because it's a attack dependency and we want to avoid this kind of dependencies on database tables between different models to allow in the future agenda to be more and more service-oriented architecture. What for this reason,.

D

B

Will have to maintain consistency of data from the application point of view, so I already created an issue and assign it to me to guarantee that data will be consistent. Consistent at the application level was getting reading. Getting rid of these foreign key from the reservation table doesn't guarantee anymore that if I, for example, remove a stock I can have reservation pointing to that stock. So this can lead to errors, and we have to avoid this kind of problems.

B

That's pretty much all about this refactoring. It was pretty big because there are a lot of classes and files that are involved in in reservations. But this is a direction that we took and is interesting and I think that there is also discussion about creating I.

B

B

If you have any.

E

So we have, we have this feature coming included three, oh good,.

C

E

It might make sense to switch because we wanted to make MSI independently reasonable it's hard to make this decision now, because it might be released before the schema or after the schema. So just eager, please a compact, sorry, beep Kovalenko. None couple about this! Actually.

A

Already started to talk about that, so we all thinking you during like during next week, because we already have that static test in a toodle tree which prevents the Virgin we use schemas, which not declarative. So, yes, we will sync up regarding that.

B

C

B

No I I was just saying that this will affect all all the modules, not only the reservation or not exactly I. Just.

A

Wanted to add a couple of words for the presentation of Alessandra. As he mentioned, we introduced not just inventory reservation into a dedicated module, but also introduced inventory reservation API, so that will provide the same ability, for example, to substitute undo iron adapter. So the transport layer for the reservation, because out of the box, will provide the my sequel, but potentially we can replace it with rabbit in queue or maybe Redis. So it would be little bit faster than my sickle table. So we segregated API out of the implementation.

E

Which module does reservation.

E

So when, when we basically when we say that order shipped, we want to delete the reservation right. So we have one for decrement stock and do it the reservation right, yep.

A

Currently, its inventory sales, where we operate with reservations.

A

Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Alessandra stop sharing, so the next one would be volodymyr sighs who helped us to prepare, Zach and prepare and adopt the configurable product wizard, because we have quite quite a big UI wizard for the configurable product and it's manageable, depending on how the configurable product is being created. So while the dimmer feel free to to share your screen and show how the configurable product will look like when the msi would be merged to the magenta.

F

Let's go for the page.

F

The word field, so I.

F

Go to a configurable product wizard and select and I select both great.

F

And so the next, if it chooses a single quantity for each sq1 venom cross, we can open the side out panel when we can choose them. They call the surfaces that available for now. Let's select all done that we have the dynamic rows with all sources and well set quantity.

F

Let's go to next step, we generate the product and the quantity field have all the sources available. Let's go generate product and in quantity will feel the wickedness she only five items and when we click on this today we have the two peoples that show all the rebels selected on previous steps.

F

So also we can make a the same to a functionality with Edit configuration and for now let's choose a a unique quantity to attribute to whom to HS cool it select our attribute, and we can see the dilemma cross was relative to each shade attribute value, so we can choose their sources to each attribute value.

F

F

So if we don't feel the quantity field and the right step, we can we have our awesome this field to in court very soon, and also we have with the validation error on the field since it is empty.

F

So that's we can also remove sources and we can see that sources.

F

For now, if I open side out before I select, all I haven't any source to see besides a greeting City in modern, if I remove one of them, I open there, Oh currently box.

F

G

Can you confirm that what is expected is when you see this light out panel, only the ones that can be added will show. So, if you have in this case there was 11 sources, you showed all of them and removed one. When you open the slide out, you would expect to see only the one available to be edit yeah.

F

I think it'll fix it. Okay,.

B

F

After a Larry part, changement.

E

Basic question, but why do we have multiple sort of the Greeks.

F

G

Because these are by attribute so the second choice in this in the wizard was we want a quantity by each attribute. In this case, the attributes are one two three something like that.

H

G

And this behavior is identical to what we have in core single stock ingento. As far as the three choices you get in the wizard, the only difference here is: it expands out to allow you to define source for each of them.

F

So it's the sole for me. Maybe any question yeah.

G

So the question was two things so on this tooltip: that's showing on your screen right now, that's great, but it's not clear to me that I would know. I can click on it because it just seems to be regular text, so we'll probably need to check with Eugene on that, whether there's an icon or something that allows the user to know they can it's clickable I.

F

Can add this or a pointer to it's in.

F

When we can know that it's clickable field.

G

Yeah, so let me check with Eugene, because we have used this pattern in other parts of the admin. My second question is that is, that is that tooltip that comes up. Does that have a scroll bar or.

F

We her ability to scroll is a page with two tips, a tip a will, adapt it to the page size by screen. So for now it isn't scrollable, but we can scroll the page.

G

Ok, I will check with Eugene, because we do I know we have a component. That is a scrollable tooltip, which will be important if you know if they were.

F

G

F

Yeah I know, but for now we can scrollable to people. So we need time to implement that as a simple.

F

Stupid we can address a a native browser scroll, it's simple, but we can add some custom scroll, ok,.

G

E

So and mark I think you ought to be something similar, so it shows it on the road. It shows like five sources right, but the if you click it shows all sources.

E

The user wouldn't know that they can click and it just doesn't display all sources right. Sweden.

A

G

Used, we've used this before on B to be shared catalogs, but it had some additional elements, so it shows an icon, I believe so the user knows that there's more than five and they can expand it and then, when they expanded the tooltip that comes up as a squabble, tooltip and.

E

Okay and one more question, I hope, so why? Why is the first row? Why does the first road not have labels for sources? It's.

F

Because I can say box in various steps, so if I make it.

H

So it's just about.

F

Understand embarrassed.

F

That's it! Okay! That's all for me.

F

G

A

Thank you very much for your update and the next one is gonna, be your slower Gaza. We will show you blocks low stock notification and how they work right now, in a in a MSI, develop branch.

I

Yeah, hey guys, so we have finalized the low stock report feature. It has been already actually presented in videos demos.

I

So at the moment we have four products in catalog and let me show so some of them are low stock and some of them are not. For example, if we check some product we have a possibility to in this grid where we assign sources to the product. We have a possibility to to put the quantity to current counted here of this product and put the 35.

I

I

Integration, so thank you. That's all from my side.

B

May I say something: yeah.

I

B

Just an idea suggestion to to to everyone in the low stock report we have the column named stock quantity, and there is this problem related to the fact that stock is an entity in multi-source inventory, which is a precise meaning, so maybe I would suggest to to name it quantity, not stop. Quantity, I got a girl. We discussed a lot about this ambiguity, so I think that we should avoid using words stock when it doesn't refer to what stock is in multi-source inventory, which is the application of multiple sources and.

A

G

Me too, it's an excellent point. Thank you for bringing it up.

E

B

Quantity, only quantity, just.

G

Rename the column for.

B

Me tea only quantities is enough, because the stock, the stock, makes me think to to the idea of the stock as an aggregation of sources. So it makes me think to an aggregated value, not the single value of the source.

E

B

Probably yeah probably.

A

The report name, we also renamed to low quantity report produced.

G

Yeah, it's interesting because this is a traditional name of the report. The merchants know to look for yeah in stock is a general way that they speak of the inventory that they have, but yeah I don't want confusion. I think low quantity report would be fine. It would eliminate any chance for confusion in the written. The report names.

J

Okay greysun, so the stock means a aggregation of sources that clear that correct, yeah.

G

The way we use it in MSI stock is one or more sources that create a pool of inventory. It can be used for fulfillment, okay,.

K

Okay, I have a question about model name doing it. Her name would approach you to this name, because our model is already made. You have named gusto notification.

A

We can do that, but it's less important currently in the scope of this discussion. We.

E

Have to switch everywhere yeah and we should discuss it, but.

A

I agree with some tones that all the name in changes you know only you I supposed to be supposed to have corresponding changes in code as well.

A

Okay, so sync, your love for your presentation, the next one.

A

Won't be Jehu, who is our new technical writer who will introduce himself and will give you a brief introduction of what he is doing on a Masai Trek and how? How can he help us and how he gonna help community who is working on himself, so J feel free.

J

I'm J Hill and the tech quarter has been assigned it in as hi I.

J

I'm involved in in creating the documentation. What I've done so far is is gotten the product running on my machine. I've got tools for the most part, going I'm still hung up a little bit, but you don't want to hear about that.

J

I do have sources for the content and I've gone with the talk with the other riders about the architecture of the content worth what what document units is going to go into I've started, creating a document plan, that's mainly for use internally with the riot, the other riders and I've created a couple of tickets. So that's about when I, where I'm at now.

A

Not really because we have John who serves update regarding MF Kiev test on a Maasai Trek.

C

Okay cool so last week, I didn't know the test they actually got created this week. I will turn distracted for MF t fo I don't have much draw today. We've ends and hub. If you're interested in the official list of the actual eight tests that have been created so far put inside, you can check out sorry five one two. They have links the actual repo in which these guys are committed to.

C

Currently they have not been pushed to the inner thigh Rico because they are dependent on a pending code review that is open for the Magento to see a penguin test, repos that will eventually emerge and then sync over images. For so once this is done, then I can't officially open up PR for a messiah zone and the actual tests themselves are in the branch. I have a 782 and I am a PS test hitches. So there are a test checked in here once the other changes are synced up. Let's show these off officially.

C

D

C

Done for this week, actually working on story, 5, 4 2, which was the documentation for tension developers I'm going to create a github with the entry in the MSI repo under our lovely wiki. Here it will eventually be under number six here, so it should be number seven and show you what it looks like locally.

C

So here will be the new section. We have enough Tia test tensions of getting started. Information will have where you can find I test a food. What to do with this is have instructions where to action story test how to reference them in inept yeah. How to keep them and I will have several tips and tricks. That is all a giant work in progress. As you can see here, I'll have I, have a link.

J

C

The top of this talk, which will lead to our standard MF Jia Devdas team, has worked very hard on, and this wiki entry will basically a synopsis of all of our Devdas and has edited specifically to finish my project they're. All the unified tested information located in there so to be very, very much successful. I to us once this is all created and done.

C

I will act, court key pieces of information to our dev document so that everyone is on the same track and all have extension developers will be able to actually use this I'll be simplified to ms or NFI.

C

So it's kind of what I've been doing this week. I will hopefully have all this content committed to the wiki and I will send out a link with in the channel when everything is hasn't done, that's kind of been what I've been doing for a minute yeah any questions for me.

J

E

Only question I have is about majority of tests.

E

To make sure that tests are mode, you are even between inventory multi-source that models. The module, for example, that introduces relations should introduce reservation check, for example, a mature than the reservation. I guess.

C

Talking about yeah, we, we do have a meeting next week with DevOps to figure out how they want to marshal or the extensions have into their builds. So I think that that discussion will happen before we can find.

J

C

Definite of location, pretty says right now, I have it outlined in the module itself that I'm working on the statement by module there that's functional.

C

If the efficient place we want to put it up completely doable. All we have to do is tell FTF where the hexadecimal it is care.

C

We just got to tell her.

A

So looks like dead soul for the presentation. Maybe somebody have questions to.

A

Us, if no, please raise any question in the Mathias like channel, which already quite a big team here. So you see there are like MF Kiev guy. We have a technical writer on board, we have a product owner, we have a few developers and an architect, so we have a pretty big team now, so you can ask any question in a slag chat and we will try to facilitate the question and the difference, if add an answer. So since you everybody for your time, thank you for your presentations and see you soon guys and.

I

A

Bye, bye, bye, guys.
