Protocol Enahancements

[edriouk]

We need to enhance RPC protocol with the following items

1. Resolve request to instruct RTE model to resolve trivial component dependencies.
   argument: current context
   return value: true if all dependencies are resolved
2. selectLayer set specified layer or project affinity
   arguments: current context, component aggregate ID, layer to set (empty to set project affinity)
   return value: true if changed
3. setComponentOptions set component options:
   • required version string in SemVer format: no version (default), fixed, minimum, compatible
   • fixed vendor flag: component is prefixed with vendor if written to yml file
   • enforced flag: component is and its pack are fixed
     arguments: current context, component aggregate ID, options
     return value: true if changed
4. Component aggregate and ComponentInstance structure need to be enhanced with:
   • condition result string for dependency resolution/ missing component
   • component options
   • generator name
   • fixed flag to indicate generated component that cannot be deselected

Alternatively instead of selectLayer and setComponentOptions we can also enhance selectComponent with corresponding options
