# JavaScript Components
|
|
|
|
This document details the format for JavaScript components in BookStack. This is a really simple class-based setup with a few helpers provided.
|
|
|
|
#### Defining a Component in JS
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
class Dropdown {
|
|
setup() {
|
|
this.toggle = this.$refs.toggle;
|
|
this.menu = this.$refs.menu;
|
|
|
|
this.speed = parseInt(this.$opts.speed);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All usage of $refs, $manyRefs and $opts should be done at the top of the `setup` function so any requirements can be easily seen.
|
|
|
|
#### Using a Component in HTML
|
|
|
|
A component is used like so:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<div component="dropdown"></div>
|
|
|
|
<!-- or, for multiple -->
|
|
|
|
<div components="dropdown image-picker"></div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The names will be parsed and new component instance will be created if a matching name is found in the `components/index.js` componentMapping.
|
|
|
|
#### Element References
|
|
|
|
Within a component you'll often need to refer to other element instances. This can be done like so:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<div component="dropdown">
|
|
<span refs="dropdown@toggle othercomponent@handle">View more</span>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then access the span element as `this.$refs.toggle` in your component.
|
|
|
|
#### Component Options
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<div component="dropdown"
|
|
option:dropdown:delay="500"
|
|
option:dropdown:show>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will result with `this.$opts` being:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"delay": "500",
|
|
"show": ""
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Global Helpers
|
|
|
|
There are various global helper libraries which can be used in components:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// HTTP service
|
|
window.$http.get(url, params);
|
|
window.$http.post(url, data);
|
|
window.$http.put(url, data);
|
|
window.$http.delete(url, data);
|
|
window.$http.patch(url, data);
|
|
|
|
// Global event system
|
|
// Emit a global event
|
|
window.$events.emit(eventName, eventData);
|
|
// Listen to a global event
|
|
window.$events.listen(eventName, callback);
|
|
// Show a success message
|
|
window.$events.success(message);
|
|
// Show an error message
|
|
window.$events.error(message);
|
|
// Show validation errors, if existing, as an error notification
|
|
window.$events.showValidationErrors(error);
|
|
|
|
// Translator
|
|
// Take the given plural text and count to decide on what plural option
|
|
// to use, Similar to laravel's trans_choice function but instead
|
|
// takes the direction directly instead of a translation key.
|
|
window.trans_plural(translationString, count, replacements);
|
|
|
|
// Component System
|
|
// Parse and initialise any components from the given root el down.
|
|
window.components.init(rootEl);
|
|
// Get the first active component of the given name
|
|
window.components.first(name);
|
|
``` |
