Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

  • There are no references yet

How to use

Installation

First you must install the @smartbit4all/session in order to use this package.

Secondly, you must install the @smartbit4all/authentication in order to use this package.

Go to your project, open the terminal and use the following command:

npm i @smartbit4all/view-context

Then import it in the AppModule:

app.module.ts:

import { SmartViewContextModule, SmartViewContextService } from '@smartbit4all/view-context';
...
@NgModule({
    declarations: [...]
    imports: [
        ...
        SmartViewContextModule,
    ],
    providers: [
        ...
	    SmartViewContextService,
    ]
    ...
})

Prerequisites

If you have installed and done the required steps to use the SmartSessionService and SmartAuthentication, please complete the generated AuthenticationService with these new features belove.

However, if you have not, please follow the guides of the @smartbit4all/session and @smartbit4all/authentication.

Usage

In order to use this package properly, please create a folder called viewcontext in which a view-context.pages.model.ts shall be created:

  • src/app/viewcontext/
    • view-context.pages.ts
    • view-context.handlers.ts

view-context.pages.ts:

export enum Pages {
    // mandatory
    VIEW_CONTEXT = 'viewContextUuid',

    // optionals
    ANY_PAGE = 'anyPage',
    ANY_DIALOG = 'anyDialog,
    ANY_COMPONENT = 'anyComponent,
    ...
}

view-context.handlers.ts:

import { SmartViewHandlerModel, ViewType } from '@smartbit4all/view-context';
import { Pages } from './view-context.pages';
import { AnyDialogService } from '../any-dialog/any-dialog.service';

export const viewContextHandlers: SmartViewHandlerModel[] = [
    // ViewType.Normal
    {
        name: Pages.ANY_PAGE,
        route: 'any'
    },
    // ViewType.Dialog
    {
        name: Pages.ANY_DIALOG,
        component: AnyDialogComponent
    },
    // ViewType.Normal or ViewType.Dialog
    {
        name: Pages.ANY_COMPONENT,
        route: 'any',
        component: AnyComponent
    }
];

Don't forget to define some ApiErrors and inject it into the AuthenticationService:

view-context.api-errors.ts:

const viewContextApiErrors: SmartViewContextApiErrors = {
    viewContextApiErrors:  [
        {
            code: "001",
            dialogTitle?: "Error"
            message: "An error message"
            buttonLabel?: "Ok"
        }
    ]
}

The AuthenticationService must be prepared to use the SmartViewContextService. The ">>>" marks the snippets you have to add.

authentication.service.ts:

@Injectable({
    providedIn: 'root'
})
export class AuthenticationService {
    ...

>>> headersUpdated: Subject<void> = new Subject();
>>> bffApisHaveBeenSetUp: boolean = false;

    // The value of this property has to match with the one in the backend.
>>> messageDialogViewName: string = "messageDialog";

    constructor(
        ...,
    >>> private viewContext: SmartViewContextService,
    >>> private anyBffApi: AnyBffApiService,
    >>> private platformLocation: PlatformLocation
    ) {
    >>> this.viewContext.setViewHandlers(viewContextHandlers);
    >>> this.viewContext.setViewApiErrors(viewContextApiErrors);
    >>> this.viewContext.setMessageDialogName(this.messageDialogViewName);

        // set up SmartSessionService
    >>> this.url = (this.platformLocation as any).location.origin + '/api';
        ...
    >>> this.viewContext.setUrl(this.url);
        ...

    >>> this.setBffApis();
    }

>>> private setBffApis(): void {
        this.anyBffApi.configuration.basePath = this.url;
        ...
    }

>>> private updateHeaderOfBffApi(bffApi: any): void {
        bffApi.defaultHeaders = this.session.setUpDefaultHeaders(bffApi.defaultHeaders);
    }

    async startSession(): Promise<void> {
    >>> this.session.apiCanBeSetUp.subscribe(() => {
    >>>     this.updateHeaderOfBffApi(this.anyBffApi);
    >>>     ...

    >>>     // Replace anyBffApi with the first bffApi you set up above
    >>>     if (this.anyBffApi.defaultHeaders.get(Pages.VIEW_CONTEXT)) {
    >>>         this.bffApisHaveBeenSetUp = true;
    >>>     }

    >>>     this.headersUpdated.next();
    >>> });

        await this.session.initialize();

    >>> let isAuthenticated = await this.session.getIsAuthenticated();
    >>> if (isAuthenticated) {
    >>>     let uuid = this.viewContext.getUuidOfPage(Pages.VIEW_CONTEXT);
    >>>     await this.viewContext.initialize(uuid);
	>>>     this.viewContext.getAndSyncViewContext(uuid);
    >>> }
    }

    async login(request: LocalAuthenticationLoginRequest): Promise<boolean> {
        await this.auth.login(request);
        let isAuth = await this.session.getIsAuthenticated();
        if (isAuth) {
    >>>     await this.viewContext.initialize();

    >>>     await this.anyBffApi.startAnyPage().toPromise();
    >>>     let uuid = this.viewContext.getUuidOfPage(Pages.VIEW_CONTEXT);
    >>>     await this.viewContext.getAndSyncViewContext(uuid);
        }
        return isAuth;
    }

    ...

}

SmartLink

In order to use SmartLinks in your application, follow the instruction:

Firstly, set up the routing:

app-routing.module.ts:

const routes: Routes = [
    // Out of the box solution
    {
        path: `redirect/:${SmartLinkChannelVariableInPath}/:${SmartLinkUuidVariableInPath}`,
        component: SmartViewRedirect,
    },
    // Custom solution
    {
        path: `customRedirect/:${SmartLinkChannelVariableInPath}/:${SmartLinkUuidVariableInPath}`,
        component: RedirectComponent,
    },
    ...
]

Then you can set up your custom redirect component as you wish:

redirect.component.ts:

@Component({
    selector: "app-redirect",
    templateUrl: "./redirect.component.html",
    styleUrls: ["./redirect.component.css"],
})
export class RedirectComponent extends SmartViewRedirect {
    constructor(
        service: SmartViewContextService,
        navigation: SmartNavigationService,
        route: ActivatedRoute
    ) {
        super(
            service,
            navigation,
            route
        );
    }
}

Then subscribe for the openSmartLink event and handle it in your AuthenticationService:

authentication.service.ts:

constructor(...) {
    ...
    this.viewContext.openSmartLink.subscribe(() => {
        this.handleOpenSmartLinkEvent();
    })
}

private async handleOpenSmartLinkEvent(): Promise<void> {
    // Do your business logic here

    // If authentication is needed to open the link:
    let isAuthenticated = await this.isAuthenticated();
    if (isAuthenticated) {
        this.viewContext.openSmartLink.complete();
    } else {
        // Navigate to login screen without reloading the site!
    }
}

// Modify this if authentication is needed to open links
async login(request: LocalAuthenticationLoginRequest): Promise<boolean> {
    await this.auth.login(request);
    let isAuth = await this.session.getIsAuthenticated();
    if (isAuth) {
        await this.viewContext.initialize();

        await this.anyBffApi.startAnyPage().toPromise();

        // If there is a smart link waiting for opening...
        if (this.viewContext.isOpeningSmartLink) {
            this.viewContext.openSmartLink.complete();
            return isAuth;
        }

        let uuid = this.viewContext.getUuidOfPage(Pages.VIEW_CONTEXT);
        await this.viewContext.getAndSyncViewContext(uuid);
    }
    return isAuth;
}

UiActions

The ViewContext package contains a common manager for the UiActions. To use this tool, please follow the instructions.

action.descriptors.ts:

import {
    UiActionButtonIconPos,
    UiActionButtonType,
    UiActionDescriptor
} from '@smartbit4all/view-context';

// Build your own action descriptors
export const ActionDescriptors: Map<string, UiActionDescriptor> = new Map([
    [
        'EXAMPLE',
        {
            title: 'Example action',
	        type: UiActionButtonType.Raised,
	        color: 'primary',
            dialog: {
                title: 'Example dialog title',
                text: 'Example dialog text',
                actionButton: {
                    caption: 'Example action',
                    color: 'primary'
                },
                cancelButton: {
                    caption: 'Cancel',
                    color: ''
                }
            },
            inputDialog: { ... },
            confirmDialog: { ... },
            feedbackType: UiActionFeedbackType.SNACKBAR;
            feedbackText: "Example feedback";
        }
    ]
])

authentication.service.ts:

constructor(...) {
    ...
    // Set your descriptors
    this.viewContext.setActionDescriptors(ActionDescriptors);

    // Set basic feedback
    this.viewContext.commonFeedbackText = "Basic feedback."
    ...
}

example.component.ts:

@Component({
    selector: 'app-example',
    templateUrl: './example.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./example.component.css']
})
export class ExampleComponent implements UseUiAction {
    possibleActions: UiAction[]; // Comes from the backend
    actions: UiActionModel[] = [];

    // UseUiAction properties
    submit: Subject<void> = new Subject();
	reSubscribeToChange: Subject<void> = new Subject();

    constructor(private service: ExampleService) {}

    // UseUiAction functions
    getAdditionalParams(uiAction: UiAction): UiActionAdditionalParams {
        // return additional parameters if needed
        throw new Error('Method not implemented.');
    }
    getModel() {
        // return the model of the page
        throw new Error('Method not implemented.');
    }
    async performUiActionRequest(uiActionRequest: UiActionRequest): Promise<any> {
        // perform the uiActionRequest on the proper service
        await this.service.performAction(uiActionRequest)
    }
    handleSpecificDemandsAsynchronously(uiAction: UiAction): Promise<UiActionSpecificDemandResponse> {
        // handle specific demands if needed
        throw new Error('Method not implemented.');
    }

    // Construct
    constructActions(): void {
        this.actions = [];
        let exceptions = ['EXCEPTION'];
        this.possibleActions.map((uiAction: UiAction) => {
            this.actions?.push({
                uiAction,
                serviceToUse: this, // bind a class which implements the UseUiAction
                exception: exceptions.includes(uiAction.code!)
            });
        });
    }
}

export interface ViewApiError {
    code?: string;
    message?: string;
}

The package uses an interceptor which catches this error and shows it in a dialog. The settings of the error dialogs can be injected into the SmartViewContextService, just like the SmartViewHandlerModel.

export interface SmartViewContextApiError {
    code: string;
    dialogTitle?: string;
    message: string;
    buttonLabel?: string;
    customAction?: () => void;

Model changes

The SmartViewHandlerModel has been rethinked, hence the service property has been changed to component, while the type has been removed.

smart-view-context.model.ts:

export interface SmartViewHandlerModel {
    name: string;
    route?: string;
    component?: ComponentType<any>;
}

Function publicity changes

In the SmartViewContextService the publicity of the openView and closeView has been changed from private to public.

Function implementation

The closeView has been implemented, however, it only closes dialogs.

public closeView(view: ViewData): void {
    let viewHandler: SmartViewHandlerModel | undefined = this.viewHandlers.find(
        (handler) => handler.name === view.viewName
    );

    if (!viewHandler) {
        throw new Error(`SmartViewHandlerModel was not found by view name: ${view.viewName}`);
    }

    if (view.type === ViewType.Dialog) {
        this.dialog.closeDialog();
    } else if (view.type === ViewType.Normal) {
        // TODO: close normal page???
    } else {
        throw new Error("The type of the view and its viewHandler is not the same!");
    }

    view.state = ViewState.Closed;

    this.openedViewUuids.slice(this.openedViewUuids.indexOf(view.uuid), 1);

    sessionStorage.removeItem(view.viewName);

    this.updateViewContext({
        updates: [
            {
                state: ViewState.Closed,
                uuid: view.uuid,
            },
        ],
        uuid: this.viewContext?.uuid,
    });
}
