Lemonldap::NG::Manager forms

This files contains the form used to expose configuration attributes. The form is chosen by looking at the type property of the current data.

This property is defined in Lemonldap::NG::Manager::Build::Attributes package. By default, it is set to text.

Lemonldap::NG::Manager::Build::Attributes is compiled into JSON/JS files by jsongenerator.plscript.

1. Form file architecture

Form files must be called <type>.json where is the declared type of configuration property to display.

Form files must contain only HTML that will be included in the manager DOM (in #form div). It must consist of two blocks:

Basic example:

<div class="panel panel-default">
  <div class="panel-heading">
    <h3 class="panel-title">{{translate(currentNode)}}</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">
    <div class="input-group">
      <label class="input-group-addon" for="textinput" trspan="value"></label>
      <input id="textinput" class="form-control" ng-model="currentNode.data"/>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
<script type="text/menu">
[{
  "title": "cancel"
}]
</script>

2. Form main div

Based on bootstrap CSS, the main div part may look like:

If configuration item name is read-only:

<div class="panel panel-default">
  <div class="panel-heading">
    <h3 class="panel-title">{{translate(currentNode)}}</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">
  __ FORM INPUTS __
  </div>
</div>

If configuration item name may be modified:

<div class="panel panel-default">
  <div class="panel-heading"> <!-- optional -->
    <h3 class="panel-title" trspan="OptionalTitle"></h3>
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">
  __ FORM INPUTS __
  </div>
</div>

Note that keywords to translate must be set in all languages/*.json files.

2.1. AngularJS bindings

Some AngularJS variables are available :

You can simply used them as follow:

<input class="form-control" ng-model="currentNode.data"/>

3. Script part

Form div must define which item menu to display. It is done via the script part of the file:

Empty context menu:

<script type="text/menu">
[]
</script>

Else:

<script type="text/menu">
[
  {<menu item1>},
  {<menu item2>},
  {<menu item3>}
]
</script>

3.1.1. Simple case

Menu item is a javascript object with at least the key title.

<script type="text/menu">
[
  { "title": "cancel" }
]
</script>

In this case, the item will be displayed using the translation of cancel. It will launch the function $scope.cancel() declared in AngularJS controller (js/manager.js file) without any argument: functions in the controller can access to controller properties and methods.

You can have sub items simply using buttons key which must then be an array of menu items.

<script type="text/menu">
[{
  "title": "textToTranslate",
  "buttons": [
    { "title": "cancel" },
    { "other": "item" }
  ]
}]
</script>

3.1.3. Specify function to use

<script type="text/menu">
[{
  "title": "addVirtualHost",
  "action": "addVhost"
}]
</script>

Same as below except that it will launch $scope.addVhost().

Tips

You can access to the parent using this:

3.1.5 Icons

<script type="text/menu">
[{
  "title": "addVirtualHost",
  "action": "addVhost",
  "icon": "plus-sign",
}]
</script>

The field icon can be set to define the Bootstrap glyphicon to use.

You can use a modal window to display a choice (look at forms/portalSkin.html for a complete example):

<button class="btn btn-info" ng-click="showModal('portalSkinChoice.html')">

A modal window will be displayed using portalSkinChoice.html template. This template must be declared in the file:

<script type="text/ng-template" id="portalSkinChoice.html">
  <div class="modal-header">
    <h3 class="modal-title" trspan="chooseSkin"></h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body">
    <div class="btn-group">
      <button class="btn" ng-repeat="b in currentNode.select" ng-click="ok(currentNode.data=b.k)">
        {{b.v}}
      </button>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="ok()" trspan="ok"></button>
    <button class="btn btn-warning" ng-click="cancel()" trspan="cancel"></button>
  </div>
</script>
