IEX2 applications

IEX2 allows developers use the technology they want to generate expose templates to send real estate items to a given contact.

Developers can leverage the IEX2 components and the expose script to develop and publish expose templates.

Structure of the expose

An expose has stages. It represents the lifecycle that the customer goes through when buying real estate. Some sensitive information may be hidden until certain stage and some sections will be also availabe after certain stage.

A section is a block that is presented to the user. Examples:

• Provisioning Contract Agreement
• A Hero Banner
• An image carousel
• ...

The engine expects two files to exist on the public directory:

• assets/context/config.json
• assets/context/context.json

config.json

This file includes the configuration of the sections and sensitive fields that need to be hidden for certain stages: An example:

{
    "excludes": [
        {"fieldName": "entity.addresses", "minStage": 2}
    ],
    "stages": {
        "0": ["ProvisionContractAgreement"],
        "1": ["Custom", "GracefulHeroBanner", "SimpleDataTable", "ImageWall"]
    }
}

• The entity.addresses field isn't available on de model until stage 2
• The ProvisionContractAgreement is the only section available on the stage 0, then the rest are available on the stage 1

When Stage objects are used, like on the example below, the framework controls when to show them:

import React from 'react';
import './App.scss';
import Custom from './sections/Custom';
import {Stage, GracefulHeroBanner, ProvisionContractAgreement, SimpleDataTable, ImageWall} from '@stacknvault/iex2-core';

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
        <Stage level="0">
          <ProvisionContractAgreement className="section"/>
        </Stage>
        <Stage level="1">
          <Custom className="section"/>
        </Stage>
        <Stage level="1">
          <GracefulHeroBanner className="dotted"/>
        </Stage>
        <Stage level="1"> 
          <SimpleDataTable className="dotted"/>
        </Stage>
        <Stage level="1">
          <ImageWall className="section"/>
        </Stage>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

If a custom section is built, it should use the context like this:

import React, {useContext} from 'react';
import {ContextStore} from '@stacknvault/iex2-core'

const Custom = ({className}) =>{
  const {iex, config, ready, error} = useContext(ContextStore);
  return (
    <div className={className}>
        {ready && 
          <div>
            Hello {iex.context.contact.firstName}! This is a custom section. You are at stage {iex.currentStage}
          </div>
        }
        {error && 
          <div>
            Something went wrong: {error}
          </div>
          
        }
    </div>
  );
}


export default Custom;

The expose script

Apart from the regular yarn scripts, in the project directory, you can run:

yarn run expose -- help

USAGE: yarn run expose -- <publish|render|set-stage|get-context> --<option name>=<option value>

For help, run:

yarn run expose -- help

or

yarn run expose -- <command> help

yarn run expose -- publish help

Publishes a template. Before publishing, make sure that the react app is built first (yarn run build).

USAGE: yarn run expose -- publish [ --template-id=<your own template id> ]

If no other args are specified, they will be taken from .lastRun

yarn run expose -- render help

Renders a template for a given contact-id, entity-id and optional company-id. Before rendering, make sure that the template is published first.

USAGE: yarn run expose -- render [--render-id=<your own render id> ] --template-id=<template id> --contact-id=<contact id> --entity-id=<entity id> [ --company-id=<company id> ]

If company id is not specified, it will be taken from the sender

A custom render-id can be used.

If no other args are specified, they will be taken from .lastRun

yarn run expose -- set-stage help

Sets the stage of a rendered template

USAGE: yarn run expose -- set-stage --render-id=<render id> --stage=<stage number starting from 0>

If no other args are specified, they will be taken from .lastRun

yarn run expose -- get-context help

Gets the context for a given contact-id, entity-id and optional company-id and it writes it to public/assets/context/context.json.

USAGE: yarn run expose -- get-context --contact-id=<contact id> --entity-id=<entity id> --stage=<stage number starting from 0> [ --company-id=<company id> ]

If company id is not specified, it will be taken from the sender

If no other args are specified, they will be taken from .lastRun
