1046090 - Explore if we can split Dialer and Contacts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Dialer, defect)

Description

[Anthony Ricaud (:rik)]

Can we move Dialer and Contacts to separate apps while keeping the Contacts iframe inside Dialer?

This will help plan our 2.2 work.

Please let's do, let's do.

The only thing that contacts will require and sounds a bit weird is the telephony API to being able to call directly from the contact detail.

Apart from that, we are ready to go.

We have some asyncStorage that is also shared I believe.

Other area to inspect: We share locale files between Dialer and Contacts.

Attachment: Prototype - Move files and update paths

Just a loose prototype to move files and change paths. This will probably not land for a long time until the kinks of the script are ironed out. I just wanted to open up a pull request here illustrating what this simple script can do for us: https://github.com/KevinGrandon/gaia-split-communications

Not everything is functional yet, but we can iterate on things before or after the script is applied. My preference would be to basically be able to run this script and have everything working. Let me know what you think and if you have any concerns about this approach.

I'm descoping this from this sprint. We will be able to do a more accurate assessment once bug 1097757 is done, so I think that we should wait until then before coming back to this.
