[Workspace] Extending App to indicate the visibility of the app based on Workspace

[SuZhou-Joe]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Home page, which is supposed to be only visited without workspace, now is able to be accessed by clicking the home icon or type the url manually in the browser. There are many other apps that may have the same issue: ISM plugin, alert plugin, security plugin etc. We need a mechanism to prevent user jumping into these non-workspace app within a workspace.

Describe the solution you'd like

Option A: Extending the app types by adding a new field workspaceAccessibility

/**
 * Visibilities of the application based on if user is within a workspace
 *
 * @public
 */
export enum WorkspaceAccessibility {
  /**
   * The application is not accessible when user is in a workspace.
   */
  NO = 0,
  /**
   * The application is only accessible when user is in a workspace.
   */
  YES = 1,
}

interface App<HistoryLocationState = unknown> {
   ...,
   /**
   * Declare if page is accessible when inside a workspace.
   * Defaults to undefined to indicate the application can be accessible within or out of workspace.
   */
  workspaceAccessibility?: WorkspaceAccessibility;
}

• pros:

  • More clean and won't couple with existing status

• cons:

  • Introducing a field in App.

Option B: Extending the status types by adding two new enums

export enum AppStatus {
  /**
   * Application is accessible.
   */
  accessible = 0,
  /**
   * Application is not accessible.
   */
  inaccessible = 1,
  /**
   * Application is not accessible in a workspace.
   */
  inaccessible_in_workspace = 2,
}

• pros:

  • Less changes introduced on current system

• cons:

  • Coupling workspace-specific status into App['status'].
