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 🙏

Remote select

A powerful tool that adds select type inputs to your strapi with the ability to dynamically load options via API. Supports static and searchable endpoints—autocomplete. This module adds two inputs:

Remote select, allow selecting one or several values from the remote options endpoint. Searchable select, allow selecting one or several values from the searchable remote endpoint.

Features (all selects support remote options loading):

  • plain select
  • multi select
  • searchable select, single model
  • searchable select, multiple model

💭 Motivation

Too often I've had situations where I need to allow selecting one or more values from a list that is available as an API. Simply transferring the value is not an option, as the values can change dynamically on the remote resource, and the native Select has the same value as the one displayed to the user, which is not always convenient. That's why I was inspired to create this module, which solves this problem, you just need to add the desired input and configure it and that's it, you will always get the latest options, and the ability to use the searchable API or auto-complete significantly expands the use cases for this module.

⚠️ Requirements

"node": ">=18.0.0 <=20.x.x" "@strapi/strapi": "^4.24.5"

⏳ Installation

# using yarn
yarn add strapi-plugin-remote-select

# using npm
npm install strapi-plugin-remote-select --save

Enable plugin in your config/plugins.js file, just add:

module.exports = {
  "remote-select": {
    enabled: true,
  },
};

🪄 Usage

Each input select that this plugin adds has a similar configuration:

Basic settings

Module is using JSON path for allow configurable way to get an option array, label, and value for options objects. Learn more about JSON path here

| Field name | Type | Description | | --------------------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Fetch options url | string | A url for fetch options for select. Endpoint should return a valid json string as response | | Fetch options method | string | HTTP method for requesting options. Default: GET | | Fetch options request body | string | HTTP body for requesting options. Provide a your custom body for options fetching. | | Fetch options request custom headers | string | Custom fetch options request headers in raw format, one header per line. For example: Content-type: application/json | | JSON path to options array | string | $ - here it is the body answer to the options request | | JSON path to label for each item object | string | $ - here it is the each options item selected from "JSON path to options array" | | JSON path to value for each item object | string | $ - here it is the each options item selected from "JSON path to options array" |

Advanced settings:

| Field name | Type | Description | | ------------- | -------- | ----------- | | Default value | string | | | Multi mode | string | | | Private field | string | |

Remote select input

Depends on multi option you will have in the model a single string from selected value option or array of selected value string.

Basic configuration window:

Remote select settings window

for example, let's consider the next api endpoint 'https://dummyjson.com/products' with response structure:

{
  "products": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "title": "Essence Mascara Lash Princess",
      "description": "The Essence Mascara Lash Princess is a popular mascara known for its volumizing and lengthening effects. Achieve dramatic lashes with this long-lasting and cruelty-free formula.",
      "category": "beauty",
      "price": 9.99,
      "discountPercentage": 7.17,
      "rating": 4.94,
      "stock": 5
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "title": "Eyeshadow Palette with Mirror",
      "description": "The Eyeshadow Palette with Mirror offers a versatile range of eyeshadow shades for creating stunning eye looks. With a built-in mirror, it's convenient for on-the-go makeup application.",
      "category": "beauty",
      "price": 19.99,
      "discountPercentage": 5.5,
      "rating": 3.28,
      "stock": 44
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Configured remote select window will look like that: We are going to use id field from a product object as value and title field as label

Remote select example configured settings window

and as a result, we have: (single mode)

Remote select single input

multiple mode:

Remote select multi input

Searchable remote select input

Depends on multi option you will have in the model a JSON string with the object:

{
  "label": "Label from option",
  "value": "Value from option"
}

or JSON string with the array of objects:

[
  {
    "label": "Label from option",
    "value": "Value from option"
  },
  {
    "label": "Label from option",
    "value": "Value from option"
  }
]

Basic configuration window: It's the same as in Remote select input:

for example, let's consider the next api endpoint with search ability 'https://dummyjson.com/products/search?q=searchphrase' with the same response structure like as in Remote select example.

Configured remote select window will look like that:

and as a result, we have: (single mode)

multiple mode:
