SpinalMenu : Context Menu Service


Introduction:

SpinalGraph is a data schema for grouping together a set of information and modeling the links between these informations. This data schema works on the "context" layer of the pyramid of information.

To get more information about SpinalGraph data architecture, please read SpinalGraph 0.2 Model description.


It is a service that allows you to save buttons according to keywords (HookName) as applications.

Interfaces get buttons associated to a HookName

Usage:

To use the Spinal Context Menu Service, you must :

  • Install :

Installation
npm install --save https://github.com/spinalcom/spinal-env-viewer-context-menu-service.git
  • Import and instantiate

Import and Instantiate
const {
  spinalContextMenuService,
  SpinalContextApp
} = require("spinal-env-viewer-context-menu-service");


// 1 
class SpinalContextAppTest extends SpinalContextApp {
  constructor() {
// 2
    super("testlabel", "test description", {
      icon: "add",
      icon_type: "in",
      backgroundColor: "000000",
      fontColor: "FFFFFF"
    });
  }
//3
  isShown(option) {
    if (option.testsFail === true) return Promise.resolve(-1);
    return Promise.resolve(true);
  }
//4
  action(option) {
    console.log("action clicked");
  }
}
  1. Extends the class `SpinalContextApp` and define custom `isShown` and `action` methods.
  2. Call the constructor of 'SpinalContextApp' with super, with the following parameters
    1. Button's tooltip/label
    2. Button's description
    3. ... other parameters are in the table in the introduction
  3. Return a promise. This promise has to be resolved and never reject.
  4. the function executed on click


Register Application button

Now we have to register the app to a HookName.

Below you have the list of HookName referenced by SpinalCom.

For example, there is 3 HookName example

  • "circularMenu"
  • "GraphManagerSideBar"
  • "GraphManagerTopBar"

SpinalContextMenuService.registerApp(HookName, SpinalContextAppInstance)

ParamTypeDefault
HookName String
  • "circularMenu"
  • "GraphManagerSideBar"
  • "GraphManagerTopBar"
SpinalContextAppInstanceSpinalContextApp
registerApp
spinalContextMenuService.registerApp("myHookName", new SpinalContextAppTest());

Get your buttons list

Afterwards, interfaces of apps get the buttons list with `getApps` methods.

The getApps function calls the method "isShown" of all the Application registered in the HookName.

If the Promise is resolved with -1 the application is not shown.

// 1
spinalContextMenuService
  .getApps("myHookName", {
    testsFail: false
  })
  .then(console.log.bind(null, "test1 :"));
// test1 : [ SpinalContextAppTest {
//     label: 'testlabel',
//     description: 'test description',
//     buttonCfg:
//      { icon: 'add',
//        icon_type: 'in',
//        backgroundColor: '000000',
//        fontColor: 'FFFFFF' },
//     badgeCfg:
//      { label: '', backgroundColor: 'FF0000', fontColor: 'FFFFFF' } } ]

// 2
spinalContextMenuService
  .getApps("myHookName", {
    testsFail: true
  })
  .then(console.log.bind(null, "test2 :"));
// test2 : []
  1. Exemple 1: The app SpinalContextAppTest in the array returned.
  2. Exemple 2 : The Method SpinalContextAppTest.isShown(...) is resolved with -1. So SpinalContextAppTest is not present in the returned array.
