UI: Application filters - Label filter & Wildcards
Summary
It would be super nice to be able to filter resources in an application by labels. Also to be able to use wildcards in the name filter.
Example:. let's say we deploy a microservice applicaiton using a single Argo Application CRD, to show only a single micro service and it's other resources, ConfigMaps etc, a label filter would help out. When dealing with many services the UI easily gets's overwhelmed by multiple resources.
Example2: I deploy a "stack" of services using a Helm chart with dependencies. Being able to filter out each sub chart using labels for example would make sense, since it's all under a single Argo Application.
Exampe3: I want to find all resources that include "test-" as a prefix, being able to use wildcards in the name filter would help out here.
Motivation
Breaking some of these resources into multiple Argo Applications does not always make sense, having a single "Application" that include for example an umbrella helm chart with multiple dependencies will easily fill out the UI with multiple resources. Today I can filter by resource type, Deployment, ConfigMap, etc. But I can't group together related resources using labels for example.
Proposal
The Applications view already has a filter for labels. Suggest that will also be made available within each application.
Make it possible to use wildcards, "*", when searching for resources by name at least.
I'm not experienced enough in Typescript but I'd reckon that the "label" filter of the applications-list/applications-filter can maybe reused and put into the filter options for the application-details/application-resource-filter. I hope this helps with the new label filter.
Using wildcards with names would be great too, but I struggle to find the code for where one can change that.
This is a huge problem in our use.
Some of our applications have 20+ individual charts, each with their own 7-8 objects. If for some reason only 1 chart is changed, it's very very very difficult to make changes/status for that 1 chart. If we could filter by appname-* that would make work a lot more reliable.
I reckon maybe not using proper wildcard or fuzzysearch but the default behaviour should be using the prefix.
E.g. searching for myworkload- should bring all resources that start with that prefix.
Please implement this :pray: .
