Abstract

Claims (53)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

enabling automatic graphical user interface (UI) code adaptation according to a dynamically changing specification without changing a linking with a predefined UI elements library, the enabling comprising:

executing a code configured for detecting, by an enforcement application executing in a data processing system and responsive to a change made in a compliance specification at a first time, a UI component in structured data corresponding to a UI design loaded in a memory accessible to the enforcement application;

executing a code configured for determining, at the first time, using the compliance specification, the UI component to be non-compliant, the compliance specification being selected based on a context of use of the UI design wherein the UI component is subject to different compliance specifications based on different contexts of use of the UI component in the UI design, and wherein the UI component is not subject to any compliance specification in at least one context; and

executing a code block configured for rendering a compliant component in place of the UI component on a UI rendering from the UI design.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

executing a code configured for adjusting, to form an adjusted UI component, a parameter of the UI component based on a corresponding parameter value specified in the compliance specification; and

selecting the code block in a compliance system repository based on a best fit match between the adjusted UI component and a compliant UI component in the compliance system repository.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

executing a code configured for adjusting, to form an adjusted UI component, a first parameter of the UI component based on a first corresponding parameter value specified in the compliance specification corresponding to a first compliant UI component, a second parameter of the UI component based on a second corresponding parameter value specified in a second compliance specification corresponding to a second compliant UI component:

selecting a plurality of code blocks in a compliance system repository based on a best fit match between the adjusted UI component and the first compliant UI component and the second compliant UI component; and

executing a code configured for combining the plurality of code blocks to form the code block.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

executing a code configured for determining, using a second compliance specification a second UI component to be compliant;

executing a code configured for extracting from a compliance system repository a second code block corresponding to the second UI component; and

executing a code configured for blending, as a part of the combining, the second code block into the front-end UI code.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

executing a code configured for receiving the structured data via an application programming interface (API) of a UI design application.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the structured data comprises a document object model (DOM).

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the structured data comprises a tree structure, the tree structure comprising a set of nodes connected via a set of edges, wherein a subset of the set of nodes is representative of the UI component, and an edge from a node in the subset of nodes is representative of a positional relationship of the UI component to an element of the UI design.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the compliance specification comprises a set of values corresponding to a set of parameters of a compliant UI component.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the compliant component is a variation of the UI component where a maximum number of parameters adjustable for compliance have been adjusted for compliance in accordance with the compliance specification.

10 . A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by a set of one or more processors to cause the set of one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

enabling automatic graphical user interface (UI) code adaptation according to a dynamically changing specification without changing a linking with a predefined UI elements library, the enabling comprising:

executing a code configured for detecting, by an enforcement application executing in a data processing system and responsive to a change made in a compliance specification at a first time, a UI component in structured data corresponding to a UI design loaded in a memory accessible to the enforcement application;

executing a code configured for determining, at the first time, using the compliance specification, the UI component to be non-compliant, the compliance specification being selected based on a context of use of the UI design wherein the UI component is subject to different compliance specifications based on different contexts of use of the UI component in the UI design, and wherein the UI component is not subject to any compliance specification in at least one context; and

executing a code block configured for rendering a compliant component in place of the UI component on a UI rendering from the UI design.

11 . The computer program product of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:

executing a code configured for adjusting, to form an adjusted UI component, a parameter of the UI component based on a corresponding parameter value specified in the compliance specification; and

selecting the code block in a compliance system repository based on a best fit match between the adjusted UI component and a compliant UI component in the compliance system repository.

12 . The computer program product of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:

executing a code configured for adjusting, to form an adjusted UI component, a first parameter of the UI component based on a first corresponding parameter value specified in the compliance specification corresponding to a first compliant UI component, a second parameter of the UI component based on a second corresponding parameter value specified in a second compliance specification corresponding to a second compliant UI component:

selecting a plurality of code blocks in a compliance system repository based on a best fit match between the adjusted UI component and the first compliant UI component and the second compliant UI component; and

executing a code configured for combining the plurality of code blocks to form the code block.

13 . The computer program product of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:

executing a code configured for determining, using a second compliance specification a second UI component to be compliant;

executing a code configured for extracting from a compliance system repository a second code block corresponding to the second UI component; and

executing a code configured for blending, as a part of the combining, the second code block into the front-end UI code.

14 . The computer program product of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:

executing a code configured for receiving the structured data via an application programming interface (API) of a UI design application.

15 . The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein the structured data comprises a document object model (DOM).

16 . The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein the structured data comprises a tree structure, the tree structure comprising a set of nodes connected via a set of edges, wherein a subset of the set of nodes is representative of the UI component, and an edge from a node in the subset of nodes is representative of a positional relationship of the UI component to an element of the UI design.
