ember-alexandria

Test Dependabot Code Style: Prettier License: AGPL-3.0

The frontend for the alexandria document management service

Compatibility

  • Ember.js v4.12 or above
  • Ember CLI v4.12 or above
  • Node.js v18 or above

Installation

ember install ember-alexandria

Then add the following lines to your app/styles/app.scss:

@import "ember-uikit";
@import "ember-alexandria";

Usage

Mount the engine with the following command in your app/router.js:

this.mount("ember-alexandria", { path: "/" });

To pass the required services update your app.js:

constructor(...args) {
  super(...args);

  this.engines = {
    "ember-alexandria": {
      dependencies: {
        services: [
          "session",
          "intl",
          "notification",
          "fetch",
          "alexandria-config",
          "store",
        ],
      },
    },
  };
}

Configuration

You can configure if the models should be filtered by meta and what the default meta value for a model should be. Each configuration field is scoped by model name (check out the example to understand what is meant by this).

For this you need to create a service extending from ember-alexandria/services/alexandria-config which you then have to pass as alexandria-config to alexandria.

This is needed since an engine does not merge its env into the host apps. See ember-engines/ember-engines#176 for more info.

If you mounted alexandria with query params this.mount("ember-alexandria", {path: "/:your_query_param/documents/"}); you can access the query params in you config service (as shown in the example above) with this.alexandriaQueryParams.your_query_param.

If you need to access the alexandriaQueryParams inside your config check that you define modelMetaFilters and/or defaultModelMeta as getters. If you don't need alexandriaQueryParams you can ignore the getters and just define the field as usual.

Example:

import AlexandriaConfigService from "ember-alexandria/services/alexandria-config";

export default class CustomAlexandriaConfigService extends AlexandriaConfigService {
  get modelMetaFilters() {
    return {
      document: [
        {
          key: "your_meta_field",
          value: this.alexandriaQueryParams.your_query_param,
        },
      ],
    };
  }

  get defaultModelMeta() {
    return {
      document: {
        your_meta_field: this.alexandriaQueryParams.your_query_param,
      },
      file: {
        is_alexandria_file: true,
      },
    };
  }
}

To set created_by_user and created_by_group on a document you can use the activeUser and activeGroup properties. They will be set on the document when it is created. The returned IDs for the user and groups you can be proccessed by adding a resolver from your project to turn the IDs to something the user can relate to.

Just replace the identity functions on the config service.

Additionally there is a post proccess hook for the document. It is called documentsPostProccess and is executed after the document list is fetched. It gets the documents as an argument and should return the documents as well. With it you for example fetch the users and groups of the documents in a batch.

Example:

import AlexandriaConfigService from "ember-alexandria/services/alexandria-config";
import { inject as service } from "@ember/service";

export default class CustomAlexandriaConfigService extends AlexandriaConfigService {
  @service store;

  activeUser = 1;
  activeGroup = 1;

  resolveUser(id) {
    return this.store.peekRecord("user", id);
  }

  resolveGroup(id) {
    return this.store.peekRecord("group", id);
  }

  documentsPostProcess(documents) {
    const users = documents.map((d) => d.createdByUser);
    const groups = documents.map((d) => d.createdByGroup);

    this.store.query("user", { filter: { id: users.join(",") } });
    this.store.query("group", { filter: { id: groups.join(",") } });

    return documents;
  }
}

If there is a need for filtering the tagging suggestions set the getter suggestedTagsFilters to the desired filter.

Marks

Additionally to tags you can configure marks. Marks are similar to tags, but are always displayed for the user to add, even when then are not selected yet. This avoids the issue where users might create multiple, slightly different tags while meaning the same thing. We recommend using not more than five marks for the most important classifications of documents.

The icons for marks are from FontAwesome.

The object for a mark has the following properties:

  • type: This is the id of a tag used to identify the mark in the backend.
  • icon: This a string, which references an FontAwesome.
  • tooltip: This is shown when hovering over the mark.

An example configuration with two icons might look like this:

import AlexandriaConfigService from "ember-alexandria/services/alexandria-config";

export default class CustomAlexandriaConfigService extends AlexandriaConfigService {
  get marks() {
    return [
      {
        type: "important",
        tooltip: "This is an important document",
        icon: "stamp",
      },
      {
        type: "problem",
        tooltip: "This document has problems",
        icon: "hippo",
      },
    ];
  }
}

Configure used icons in config/icons.js

module.exports = function () {
  return {
    "free-solid-svg-icons": ["stamp", "hippo"],
  };
};

Search link

To configure where the link in the search result point to and what it displays use the documentListLinkTo function. It receives a document as paramter and expects an object with a route and the label to display.

documentListLinkTo(document) {
  return {
    route: "index",
    label: document.title,
  };
}

Others

  • enablePDFConversion: Set to true to enable docx/odt to pdf conversion. Make sure the backend is enabled aswell.
  • enableWebDAV: Set to true to enable docx/xlsx editing with WebDAV. Make sure the backend is enabled aswell.
  • allowedWebDAVMimeTypes: Sets the allowed editable mime types (default: docx, xlsx). Make sure the list is the same as in the backend.
  • namespace: Set to API namespace
  • zipDownloadHost: Set if the ZIP download is different
