Benefits of Multiple Sources

Overview

The current implementation of the blueprint manager in the Tangle Network does not support multiple sources. This limitation arises when a source is specified for a blueprint, as the test fetcher is automatically generated. To address this issue, we propose allowing multiple sources to be used in the blueprint manager. This feature will provide users with more flexibility and control over their blueprints.

Current Limitations

The current blueprint manager does not support multiple sources, which can be a significant limitation for users who require access to multiple sources. This limitation is particularly evident when a source is specified for a blueprint, as the test fetcher is automatically generated. This means that users are unable to use multiple sources simultaneously, which can hinder their ability to create and manage complex blueprints.

Proposed Solution

To address the current limitations of the blueprint manager, we propose implementing a feature that allows users to specify multiple sources for a blueprint. This feature can be implemented in one of two ways:

Interactive Decision: Users can be presented with an interactive decision that allows them to select multiple sources for a blueprint. This approach provides users with a high degree of flexibility and control over their blueprints.
Specified at Runtime: Users can specify multiple sources for a blueprint when running the blueprint manager. This approach provides users with a high degree of flexibility and control over their blueprints, while also allowing them to customize their workflow.

Defaulting to Specific Sources/Fetchers

In addition to allowing users to specify multiple sources for a blueprint, we also propose implementing a feature that allows users to default to specific sources/fetchers when starting the blueprint manager. This feature can be implemented in one of two ways:

Always Use Test Fetcher: Users can default to using the test fetcher when starting the blueprint manager. This approach provides users with a high degree of flexibility and control over their blueprints, while also allowing them to customize their workflow.
Always Use Native: Users can default to using the native fetcher when starting the blueprint manager. This approach provides users with a high degree of flexibility and control over their blueprints, while also allowing them to customize their workflow.

Benefits of Multiple Sources

Allowing multiple sources in the blueprint manager provides users with a number of benefits, including:

Increased Flexibility: Users can specify multiple sources for a blueprint, which provides them with a high degree of flexibility and control over their blueprints.
Improved Customization: Users can customize their workflow by specifying multiple sources for a blueprint, which allows them to tailor their blueprints to their specific needs.
Enhanced Productivity: Users can work more efficiently by specifying multiple sources for a blueprint, which allows them to create and manage complex blueprints with ease.

Implementation Plan

To implement the feature of allowing multiple sources in the blueprint manager, we propose the following implementation plan:

Design the Feature: We will design the feature of allowing multiple sources in the blueprint manager, including the user interface and the underlying logic.
Implement the Feature: We will implement the feature of allowing multiple sources in the blueprint manager, including the user interface and the underlying logic.
Test the Feature: We will test the feature of allowing multiple sources in the blueprint manager to ensure that it works as expected.
Deploy the Feature: We will deploy the feature of allowing multiple sources in the blueprint manager to the production environment.
