@financial-times/biz-ops-utils v0.0.1-beta.7

@financial-times/biz-ops-utils

A small collection of utilities used by both the Biz Ops Admin application directly and by @financial-times/biz-ops-view.

They may be useful when constructing complex user interfaces from Biz Ops components.

Requirements

• node 14+
• npm 7+

Installation

npm i @financial-times/biz-ops-utils

API

markdownToHtml(string)

Converts a string of markdown to html using settings common to the whole Biz Ops ecosystem

constants

An object of useful constants:

{

  // List of the base data types of our GraphQL implementations that contain temporal information
  TEMPORAL_TYPES: ['Date', 'Time', 'DateTime'],

  // List of the base data types of our GraphQL implementations that contain numeric information
  NUMBER_TYPES: ['Int', 'Float'],
}

hasValue(value, propDef)

Used to determine if a property retrieved from the Biz Ops GraphQL API contains a value. It takes into account the type of data expected in the property.

Parameters

• value - the value to be tested
• propDef - the definition of the property being inspected, as defined in Biz Ops Schema

graphqlFragment()

Used to generate a fragment of GraphQL that can be used to construct a valid Biz Ops GraphQL query to retrieve data for a property.

Parameters

• propName - the name of the property
• propDef - the definition of the property being queried, as defined in Biz Ops Schema
• useRichRelationships default: true - whether or not to query for relationships using a structure that surfaces properties defined on the relationships as well as data about the record at the other end of the relationship

getComponentAssigner()

Deliberately left undocumented for now - the API is not really mature and usage is discouraged apart from in Biz Ops Admin and @financial-times/biz-ops-view, its only 2 consumers at present.
