Create UI for managing BX-bot

[gazbert]

UI will be built using Angular.

It will consume the REST API #32

May I ask... why the decision to change to React?
Also the React project has start already?

I'd love to contribute by making a Vaadin Flow UI built into the project!

@aCard0s0 - I started down the Angular route, but got frustrated with the complexity and changes to the framework. I also found it hard to test using good behavioural tests using Protractor.

Some of the Angular work is recorded #5

The old (unmaintained branch) is here: https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot-ui-angular

I was also keen to learn React and the tooling/APIs seemed easier to get to grips with. One day I will write it, but there;s bigger things to get through at the moment with Covid-19.

Take care.

If/when you've started a bxbot-ui-react project, I'd be more than happy to contribute. I've started react 2 months ago, so I've still a lot to learn.

After having no time to start the React impl of the UI, I've decided to resurrect the Angular impl and get something out of the door!

Work will restart here: https://github.com/gazbert/bxbot-ui
