openIMIS Frontend Core reference module

This repository holds the files of the openIMIS Frontend Core reference module. It is dedicated to be deployed as a module of openimis-fe_js and provides

• openIMIS core mechanisms (authentication,...)
• openIMIS core components (Application iteself, MainMenu, JournalDrawer,...)
• openIMIS ModulesManager (loading, configuring and wiring all modules)
• many Generic components to be (re)used in other (business-focused) openimis components
• various helpers (building GraphQL queries,...)

Core Components

• App: application pages container (all openIMIS pages are loaded within that container)
• AppWrapper: wrapping main menu around each application page
• JournalDrawer: side bar in which mutation journal is displayed
• AlertDialog: pop up (modal) dialog to display an alert message (one 'ok' button)
• ConfirmDialog: pop up (modal) dialog to display a confirmation message (with 'cancel' / 'confirm' buttons)
• SelectDialog: pop up (modal) dialog to display a message and take an action between two options (yes/no, do/do not, continue/go back) - with editable (through the props) button labels, message content and dialog title, without using Redux store and actions
• FataError: page for non-recoverable backend access errors
• Help: main menu entry for Help (link to manual)
• Logout: main menu entry to logout
• KeepLegacyAlive: component to be registered in core.Boot contribution to keep legacy openIMIS session alive while interacting with new openIMIS pages
• ErrorPage: displays error messages with status, title, and optional logo. Includes navigation button to the homepage.
• PermissionCheck: controls access to content based on user rights (403 error). Renders content if user has required rights, otherwise shows ForbiddenPage.
• ForbiddenPage: shown when a user lacks permission to access a specific page or resource. Displays an access denied message.
• NotFoundPage: appears when a user visits a non-existent route (404 error). Informs the user that the page is unavailable and suggests navigation option.
• InternalServerErrorPage: displays a message for a 500 Internal Server Error, informing users of a server-side issue in the application.

• LanguageQuickPicker is a component that allows users to quickly switch between different languages. Available on user's navbar.

Generic Components (to be reused along business-focused components)

• MainMenuContribution: generic class for main menu specific contributions (with route,...)

• AutoSuggestion: generic suggest-as-you-type (text)input field

  Note: cope with both pre-fetched (cached) suggestion list and query as you type (with debounce)

• ConstantBasePicker: fixed list select input field

• Picker: dialog-based (i.e. with search criteria) picker (handles pagination,...)

• Contributions: generic component to open business components for contributions

• ControlledField: field that is skipped based on module configuration

• TextInput,NumberInput, AmountInput & SelectInput: generic input components for the various data types

• ValidatedTextInput: generic input component which checks the uniqueness of entered data and gives the appropriate information about it

• FieldLabel: formatting a label in a form

• FormattedMessage: translated text (module/key)

• ProgressOrError: display progress during component's asynchronous calls... and hide or diaply error message when asynchronous call returns

• Searcher: generic searcher page (with criteria form and result table)

• SearcherActionButton: represents an action button used within a search interface.

• Form: generic form. Manage dirty state, displays add/save button,...

• Table: generic table. Headers (with -sort-actions), rows, optional setting - showOrdinalNumber that will show column with ordinal number as first column, ...

Helpers

Contexts

It enables you to easily display success, error, warning, or informational messages as toast notifications. To use it, you need to import useToast from @openimis/fe-core and use one of the provided functions (e.g., showSuccess, showError, showWarning, showInfo) to trigger different types of toast notifications.

Available Contribution Points

It allows business modules to load cache at application startup, register to redux events (even when module not yet accessed),... The components registered for this contribution should not render any HTML (render should return null)

• core.LoginPage: ability to add components to the menu login page

Contributions

• core.Boot - KeepLegacyAlive: contributing to own contribution point in order to register the component that pings the Legacy openIMIS application to prevent session timeout while in the new part.

• core.Router: registering roles, roles/role routes in openIMIS client-side router

• admin.MainMenu:

  Roles Management (roleManagement.label translation key)

Published Components

Configurations Options

• core.PublicPage: This contributions point serves as the Public Page for the OpenIMIS App. To enable its use, it must be exposed as a core.PublicPage contribution point. Additionally, the database configuration variable App.enablePublicPage must be set to true.
• showJournalSidebar: This determines whether to render the Journal sidebar or not. IMPORTANT: The Journal provides crucial information about the state of mutations, including whether they succeeded or failed. If you choose to hide it, you must ensure the user is informed of the mutation outcome - consider using toast notifications. This configuration only hides the Journal. It does not automatically add toast notifications out of the box..
• datePicker: the concrete date picker to publish as core.DatePicker component ("ad"= Gregorian DatePicker, "ne"= Nepali calendar date picker )
• useDynPermalinks: use ?dyn= when opening in new tab (prevent sending client-side routes to server while) (Default: false)
• core.JournalDrawer.pollInterval: poll interval (in ms) to check for mutation status once submitted (Default: 2000)
• core.KeepLegacyAlive.pollInterval: poll interval (in ms) to send the ping to legacy openIMIS (to prevent session timeout). (Default: 300000 = 5')
