Divorce Document Express Handler
A simple module to handle getting documents
Getting started
Attach document handler to express app
Attach the document get route to the app like so:
const { initDocumentHandler } = require('@hmcts/div-document-express-handler');
const express = require('express');
const idam = require('services/idam');
const app = express();
const middleware = [ idam.protect() ];
const args = {
// string to define path to attach document donwload handler, default: '/document-download/:documentId' *optional*
uri: '/document-download/:documentId',
// only allow files that include the following strings *optional*
// can be a function or an array
documentWhiteList: (req, res) => {
return ['fileName1IncludesString', 'fileName2IncludesString'];
},
// string to specifiy auth token cookie, default: '__auth-token' *optional*
authorizationTokenCookieName: '__auth-token',
// string to specify the service to fetch the documents from *required*
documentServiceUrl: 'service-url',
// array to paths where file collections are stored *required*
// this is used to get the file id from the session given the file name. all downloadable
// files must be included in these paths
sessionFileCollectionsPaths: ['case.data.d8', 'files']
};
initDocumentHandler(app, middleware, args);
Generate urls and file types from file system
Here is an example how to generate file urls and types:
const { Page } = require('@hmcts/one-per-page');
const { createUris } = require('@hmcts/div-document-express-handler');
class Step extends Page {
static get path() {
return 'some-path';
}
get downloadableFiles() {
const args = {
// string to define uri where document donwload handler is attached, default: '/document-download/:documentId' *optional*
uri: 'some-url',
// only allow files that include the following strings *optional*
documentWhiteList: ['someOtherFile']
};
// The first argument is an array of files expected the following format:
// this.req.session.files = [
// {
// "id": "401ab79e-34cb-4570-9f2f-4cf9357dc1ec",
// "value": {
// "DocumentFileName" : "someOtherFile1552043698652633"
// }
// },
// {
// "id": "401ab79e-34cb-4570-9f2f-4cf9357dc1ec",
// "value": {
// "DocumentFileName" : "someFile1552043698652633"
// }
// }
// ]
return createUris(this.req.session.files, args);
}
}
module.exports = Step;
To render output using look-and-feel:
template.html:
{% from "look-and-feel/components/document-list.njk" import documentList %}
<h3 class="heading-small" id="subsection-title">Download your documents</h3>
{{ documentList(downloadableFiles, content.files) }}
main.scss:
@import 'look-and-feel/all';
or to import specific styles for document-list
@import 'look-and-feel/document-list';
content.json:
{
"en": {
"files": {
"d8petition": "Original Petition",
"aosinvitation": "Respondent Response",
"co-respondentaosinvitation": "Co-Respondent Response"
}
}
}
This will print the file list out.
