UNItekTIME-Claw

UNItekTIME rebuild on DevExpress XAF v25.2.7 / XPO / .NET 10.

Part of the Unitek Systems Limited R&D portfolio. Modernises the legacy LiveTecs-derived UNItekTIMEWeb codebase (time, expense and billing tracking) onto the current DevExpress stack.

See ../ANALYSIS.md (in the OpenClaw workspace) for the full legacy analysis, target architecture (§7A), legal/IP basis (§10) and template inspection (§11). This repository is the target — the new build.

Status

🟡 Initial scaffold. Project structure imported from UniCORE-v25.2.7-Template0 and renamed to UNItekTIME conventions. No UNItekTIME-specific business objects or controllers added yet.

This is the full set of projects from the UniCORE-v25.2.7-Template0 scaffold, with no projects dropped — the scaffold is preserved verbatim except for the rename to UNItekTIME conventions.

Target stack

Component	Version
.NET	10.0

ORM	XPO
Primary UI	Blazor Server (DevExpress Blazor components)
API	OData + REST (DevExpress.ExpressApp.Api.Xpo.All) with Swagger + JWT
Database (dev)	SQL Server LocalDB ((localdb)\mssqllocaldb)
Database (prod TBD)	SQL Server
Background jobs	Hangfire (planned)
Mobile (planned)	.NET MAUI sharing Module BOs via WebApi

DevExpress packages in .csproj files currently float to 25.2.* (the template default). The first developer build on VS 2026 will resolve them to 25.2.7 from the licensed DevExpress NuGet feed. A Directory.Packages.props for explicit pinning can be added in a later commit if reproducible builds across machines become important.

Build

This repository is built on a Windows developer machine, not in CI (yet). To build locally:

1. Prerequisites

   • Windows
   • Visual Studio 2026 with the ASP.NET and web development and .NET desktop development workloads
   • DevExpress Universal Subscription v25.2.7 installed (Bryan Fred / bryan.fred@unitek-systems.com)
   • .NET 10 SDK
   • SQL Server LocalDB (ships with Visual Studio)

2. Open UNItekTIME-Claw.sln in Visual Studio 2026.

3. Restore NuGet packages — VS will pull from your configured DevExpress NuGet feed automatically.

4. Build Solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).

5. Set the startup project to UNItekTIME.Blazor.Server and run (F5). The XAF database will be created on first run via the ModuleUpdater in UNItekTIME.Module/DatabaseUpdate/Updater.cs.

   Default Blazor URL: https://localhost:5001.
