Views Dependency

Submitted by Ryan on Thu, 01/21/2010 - 15:42

Our approach right now is to enforce a Views dependency for any UI components. This proves the strength of Damien & Mike's idea that we should separate the default UI components into UI specific modules for each core system. We'll have a Product module and a Product UI module, and the Product UI module can be free to require Views and/or any other module without making it mandatory for sites that just need the Product API. Hooray!

For those who are keeping up with development, you can grab the current Views work for Drupal 7 from it's dev release on d.o. For those hardcore hackers, an even more experimental dev branch is available at http://github.com/damz/views-7.
