Look and Feel Overhaul Proposal for Oracle APEX

ld.diaz Public · Jan 8 2025

Idea Summary
Integrate PrimeVue natively into Oracle APEX to perform a complete overhaul of the look and feel (theme), offering a modern appearance aligned with current trends in administrative themes. This integration will allow Oracle APEX to visually adapt to the advanced and highly customizable themes provided by PrimeVue, enhancing user experience with more intuitive and attractive interfaces.

URL: Introduction - PrimeVue

Use Case
This change would be useful in the following scenarios:

Application Modernization: Companies and developers looking to modernize the appearance of their Oracle APEX applications to align with modern design standards.

Enhanced User Experience: Organizations aiming to provide a better user experience through more intuitive, fast, and visually appealing interfaces.

Ecosystem Consistency: Companies using PrimeVue in other parts of their technology stack and wanting to maintain a consistent look across all their applications.

Reduced Development Time: Developers seeking to leverage PrimeVue's ready-to-use components to reduce the time and effort required to build and maintain custom interfaces.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
The implementation of this idea could be carried out through the following steps:

Compatibility Evaluation: Analyze the compatibility of PrimeVue with Oracle APEX and determine the possible modifications needed for integration.

Custom Theme Development: Create a custom theme in Oracle APEX that uses PrimeVue as a base, adapting styles and components to fit Oracle APEX's framework.

Component Integration: Include PrimeVue components within Oracle APEX pages, ensuring they work efficiently with Oracle APEX's existing functionalities.

Documentation and Examples: Provide detailed documentation and practical examples to help developers adopt and customize the new PrimeVue-based theme.

Testing and Feedback: Conduct extensive testing to ensure the integration is stable and functions correctly in different environments. Collect user feedback to make further improvements.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is unlikely to make its way into APEX.

    I agree that the current apex applications look like the looked 10 years ago. Interactive reports are still the same.

    The discussion should to adopt a JS frontend like Vue or React and then choose the right framework.

    I completely agree that UT is looking a bit dated these days. APEX plans to bring the next generation of themes. We're closing this idea simply because PrimeVue is not likely to be the vehicle for the next theme. Stay tuned for future theme announcements.
