Parcel

Last Update: 2024-06-09
Versioning: Not-available.

Visual programming for data pipeline automation on local PC. Excel+.

This is a conceptual and functional demonstration of node-only Windows-only implementation for Parcel. It would suffice for the purpose of testing libraries and show casing the core software aspects of Parcel workflows. To keep things lean, we will NOT implement any additional frameworks/components on this, including dashboard capabilities - which was available in the original prototype.

For a demonstration of dashboard capabilities from an earlier iteration, see https://github.com/Charles-Zhang-Parcel/Parcel_V1_Prototype

Setup

All key components are implemented inside Parcel.Shared assembly, the front end is implemented in Parcel.FrontEnd.NodifyWPF, and all functional components are implemented in various Toolboxes.

1. Simply open .sln solution
2. Run Parcel.FrontEnd.NodifyWPF project

To Add New Functionalities

Either inherit a class, or use shortcut methods. In the future, if we shall implement a way to load from assemblies automatically, it would make things way easier and allow interpolation from Parcel NExT.
