Trac Subcomponents

Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.

Description

This plugin alters Trac's behavior so that the interface supports multiple layers of components. In projects with lots of components, rearranging these components into several layers can clear up the list of components. The component does not change the data model of the components; it merely manipulates the user interface.

To create a component that has subcomponents, you have to add these subcomponents using the standard component admin page. For example, if you enter the following components:

  • Web
  • Web/Frontend
  • Web/Backend

then the user interface will show the Frontend and Backend as a subcomponent of the Web component.

An example of the query page after enabling this plugin:

And the component admin page looks like this:

An alternative plugin targeting the same problem is ComponentHierarchyPlugin.
