:tada: Introduction

This plugin adds a new type of enumeration that works like a combobox, where you can get data already registered in the enumeration previously, or add a new item to the select options.

:page_facing_up: Features

• New field Dynamic Enumeration appears in admin content-type-builder page, in the custom tab.
• Save only registration options and remove options that is not being used.
• Works inside Components and Dynamic Zones.
• Separates each field options by its API or Component
• You can create Globals fields, which keep the same list between different API and Components
• You can load the options in plugin API or Service. For list the data in your frontend, for example.

:cd: Installation

Install this plugin by adding it to the dependencies of your Strapi project.

# Yarn
yarn add strapi-plugin-dynamic-enumeration-field

# NPM
npm install strapi-plugin-dynamic-enumeration-field

# PNPM
pnpm install strapi-plugin-dynamic-enumeration-field

After that you must add it to your plugin configuration file.

:wrench: Configuration

Add the code below to your ./config/plugins.js file:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  'dynamic-enumeration': {
    enabled: true,
  },
  // ...
});

After that, you'll need to build your admin panel:

npm run build

Adding globals field

You can add several global field keys in the config part of the plugin settings.

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  'dynamic-enumeration': {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      globals: {
        // Unique Key Name
        'my-global-enumeration': {
          // Frontend Name
          name: 'My Global Enumeration',
          // Fixed default values
          defaults: ['Strapi', 'Node.js', 'React.js'],
        },
        // ...Others globals fields
      },
    },
  },
  // ...
});

:book: Api

The plugin adds two Api and Service to your application:

Get Enumeration Values

You can get the options added to a field, sending the uid of the API or Component, and the name of the field.

The uid It is in the format api::<api>.<api> for api, and <component-folder>.<component-file-name> for components

See the example below:

EXAMPLE

const uid = "api::my-api.my-api"
const name = "city"
const locale = 'en' // Optional, if you use i18b

// Using Fetch
await fetch(`${API_URL}/api/dynamic-enumeration?uid=${uid}&name=${name}&locale=${locale}`);
// GET /api/dynamic-enumeration?uid=your-api&name=your-attribute-name&locale=locale

// Using Service in Strapi
const SERVICE_UID = 'plugin::dynamic-enumeration.dynamic-enumeration-service'
const service = strapi.service(SERVICE_UID)
const data = await service.getValues({
  uid,
  name,
  locale // Optional
})

Get Globals Values

You can get the options added to all global field, sending the key of the Globals Field configured in your plugins file. ( See the settings part above )

See the example below:

EXAMPLE

// In Your "./config/plugins.js" file
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  'dynamic-enumeration': {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      globals: {
        // The Global Key
        'my-field': {
          // Configurations
        },
      },
    },
  },
  // ...
});

// Using Fetch
await fetch(`${API_URL}/api/dynamic-enumeration/globals?key=my-field`);
// GET /api/dynamic-enumeration/globals?key=global-key&locale=locale

// Using Service in Strapi
const SERVICE_UID = 'plugin::dynamic-enumeration.dynamic-enumeration-service'
const service = strapi.service(SERVICE_UID)
const data = await service.getGlobalValues({
  key: 'my-field',
  locale // Optional
})
