Coveo Turbo Core

The Coveo Turbo Core library provides common utilities to facilitate turbo-charged JSUI component development.

Disclaimer: This library was built by the community at large and is not an official Coveo JSUI Component. Use this component at your own risk.

Getting Started

1. Install the library into your project.

npm i @coveops/turbo-core

Decorators

Component Initialization

Coveo's component registration allows for two main strategies to load a component once the scripts and markup are present on the page: Eager and Lazy.

These decorators make it simple to choose the initialization structure without requiring boilerplate code. All of the strategies fallback to component if the LazyInitialization class isn't present by importing Coveo.Lazy.js.

component

The component decorator injects the Initialization call. It is the equivalent of having the following code at the bottom of each component:

class CustomComponent extends Component {}
Initialization.registerAutoCreateComponent(CustomComponent);

To use:

Typescript:

import { component } from '@coveopos/turbo-core'

@component
export class CustomComponent extends Component {}

Vanilla Javascript:

const component = require('@coveopos/turbo-core').component;

const CustomComponent = (function(_super) {})(Component);
module.exports.CustomComponent = component(CustomComponent);

lazy

The lazy decorator injects the LazyInitialization call. It is the equivalent of having the following code at the bottom of each component:

class CustomComponent extends Component {}
LazyInitialization.registerLazyComponent(CustomComponent.ID, () => {
    Initialization.registerAutoCreateComponent(CustomComponent);
    return CustomComponent;
});

To use:

Typescript:

import { lazyComponent } from '@coveopos/turbo-core'

@lazyComponent
export class CustomComponent extends Component {}

Vanilla Javascript:

const lazyComponent = require('@coveopos/turbo-core').lazyComponent;

const CustomComponent = (function(_super) {})(Component);
module.exports.CustomComponent = lazyComponent(CustomComponent);

lazy-dependent

The lazy-dependent decorator injects the LazyInitialization call and ensures the dependent component is loaded first. It is the equivalent of having the following code at the bottom of each component:

class CustomComponent extends Component {}
LazyInitialization.registerLazyComponent(CustomComponent.ID, () => {
    return load<IComponentDefinition>(dependentComponentId).then(() => {
        Initialization.registerAutoCreateComponent(CustomComponent);
        return CustomComponent;
    });
});

The key difference in implementation, is the ID of the dependent component must be passed as an argument to the decorator.

To use:

Typescript:

import { lazyDependentComponent } from '@coveopos/turbo-core'

@lazyDependentComponent('ResultList')
export class CustomComponent extends Component {}

Vanilla Javascript:

const lazyDependentComponent = require('@coveopos/turbo-core').lazyDependentComponent;

const CustomComponent = (function(_super) {})(Component);
module.exports.CustomComponent = lazyDependentComponent('ResultList')(CustomComponent);

requires-fields

The requires-fields decorator passes a list of fields declared in the platform to the search request:

class CustomComponent extends Component {}
Initialization.registerAutoCreateComponent(CustomComponent);
Initialization.registerComponentFields(CustomComponent.ID, ['field1', 'field2']);

To use:

Typescript:

import { requiresFields } from '@coveopos/turbo-core'

@component()
@requiresFields('field1', 'field2')
export class CustomComponent extends Component {}

Vanilla Javascript:

const component = require('@coveopos/turbo-core').component;
const requiresFields = require('@coveopos/turbo-core').requiresFields;

const CustomComponent = (function(_super) {})(Component);
module.exports.CustomComponent = requiresFields('field1', 'field2')(component(CustomComponent));

Utilities

swapVar

Merges the Coveo namespace with the namespace of the component so that exported components can be instantiated from the Coveo global object. Declare it after your exports at the root index file.

To use:

Typescript:

import { swapVar } from '@coveopos/turbo-core'

swapVar(this)

Vanilla Javascript:

```javascript
const swapVar = require('@coveopos/turbo-core').swapVar;

swapVar(module.exports);
