Admin Dashboard

Use this package to automatically create a dashboard with navigation.

Usage

import { BrowserRouter as Router } from 'react-router-dom'
import AdminDashboard, { DashboardLink } from '@lefapps/admin-dashboard'
import { Translate } from '@lefapps/translations'
import { Users, User } from 'users'

const paths = [
  {
    path: '/users',
    component: UsersList,
    label: 'Users',
    views: [
      {
        path: '/new',
        component: User,
        label: 'Create new user'
      },
      {
        path: '/:_id',
        component: User,
        label: 'editing'
      }
    ]
  }
]

const NotFound = () => <h1>404: Path not found</h1>

const branding = {
  color: 'indianred', // color should be dark enough, used as background for white text
  logo: 'https://my.cdn/images/logo.png'
}

const WelcomeBoard = () => (
  <>
    <BoardHead title={'Welcome'} />
    <BoardBody>
      <Translate _id='home_page' md />
    </BoardBody>
  </>
)

const App = () => (
  <Router>
    <Switch>
      <Route path='/admin'>
        <AdminDashboard
          settings={paths}
          label={'Admin'}
          branding={branding}
          notFoundComponent={NotFound}
          darkMode
          allowFullscreen
        >
          <WelcomeBoard />
        </AdminDashboard>
      </Route>
    </Switch>
  </Router>
)

Components

DashboardLink

1. to or view are required, neither both nor none
2. prop should match /^(\/?[^\/]+){1,${levels}}$/

import { DashboardLink } from '@lefapps/admin-dashboard'

// ROUTE: /users
const Users = users => (
  <ol>
    {users.map(({ _id, name }, i) => (
      <li key={i}>
        <DashboardLink view={_id}>{name}</id>
      </li>
    ))}
  </ol>
)

// ROUTE: /users/_id
const User = ({ _id, name }) => (
  <>
    <h3>{name}</h3>
    <p>
      This link will create a deeper level which can use the url parameters from its preceding boards
      ROUTE will be "/users/_id/articles" where you can use _id to filter the articles
      <DashboardLink to={'articles'}>view list ››</DashboardLink>
    </p>
    <small>
      This link will not create a deeper level since we already have a 'users' path
      ROUTE will be "/users"
      <DashboardLink to={'users'}>‹‹ back to all users</DashboardLink>
    </small>
  </>
)

BoardHead & BoardBody

import { DashboardLink, BoardHead, BoardBody } from '@lefapps/admin-dashboard'

const Users = ({loading, users}) => {
  const headProps = {
    title: 'Users',
    content: `${users.length} user(s)`,
    actions: [<button
      className={'btn'}
      onClick={goBack}
      title={'back -- used as tooltip'}
      key={0}>‹</button>,
    <DashboardLink
      className={'btn btn-lg'}
      to={'/users/add'}
      title={'Add a new user'}
      key={1}>+</DashboardLink>
    ]
  }
  return (<>
    <BoardHead {...headProps}>
      <p>Some optional text, which will be shown below "content".</p>
    </BoardHead>
    <BoardBody loading={loading}>
      <ul>
        {loading ? null : users.map(user => <li>{user.name}</li>)}
      </ul>
    </BoardBody>
  </>
)}

You can add the class admin-board__small-body__hidden to hide certain components in the BoardBody when displayed in the smaller sidebar. Please use sparingly. When this is needed, you are probably not using the dashboard as intended.

<BoardBody>
  <ul>
    {listItems}
  </ul>
  <form className={'admin-board__small-body__hidden'}>
    {formElements}
  </form>
</BoardBody>

BoardList

Use this component to display a minimally styled list (table) in BoardBodys.

import { BoardBody, BoardList, BoardListItem } from '@lefapps/admin-dashboard'

const Board = ({users}) => {
  const actions = _id => [
    {
      type: 'edit',
      view: _id
    }, {
      type: 'remove',
      onClick: () => removeUser(_id)
    }
  ]
  return <BoardBody>
      <BoardList>
        {users.map(({ _id, name, initials, email }, index) =>
          <BoardListItem
            key={index}
            label={initials}
            actions={actions(_id)}
          >
            <strong>{name}</strong>
            <br />
            <small>{email}</small>
          </BoardListItem>
        )}
      </BoardList>
    </BoardBody>
}

Actions

Predefined Action props

AdminTools

Use this component to wrap components to show up on the right-hand side of the breadcrumbs, e.g.: language selection or sign-out button. Correct styling will be provided. Raise an issue or pull request for specific styling issues.

import { AdminTools } from '@lefapps/admin-dashboard'
import { PickLanguage } from 'meteor/lef:translations'
import UserMenu from 'meteor/lef:userui'

const App = props => (
  <Router>
    <Route path={'/admin'}>
      <AdminDashboard {...props} />
      <AdminTools>
        <UserMenu />
        <PickLanguage />
      </AdminTools>
    </Route>
  </Router>
)

API

getLink

Footprint: const targetPath = getLink(path, level, isView)

Usage:

/base is the route where your Dashboard lives, e.g. "/admin"

const Comp = ({ getLink }) => {
  getLink('/path') // /base/path
  getLink('path') // /base/other/levels/path or /base/path
  getLink('id', null, true) // /base/level/id
  getLink(null, 3) // /base/level-1/level-2/level-3
}

withContext(<Comp />)

getUrl

Returns current url, without "/base".

getLevel

Returns current level, which is zero-based.

• Home view: level = 0
• Three panels deep: level = 2

Level is also stored in the state of the AdminDashboard component.

Todo

• Labels can accept: string, function or component

Notes

Icons

The Alert components use the following Fontawesome Icons by default. Please add them to your library to prevent errors.

info: 'info-circle'
danger: 'exclamation-circle'
warning: 'question-circle'
success: 'check-circle'

If you use the allowFullscreen prop, make sure to add the following icons too:

faSignInAlt: 'sign-in-alt'
faSignOutAlt: 'sign-out-alt'
