@softheon/armature v17.4.1

Getting started

This document is also available on Softheon Wiki

Step 1 - Create an empty project with the correct dependencies

To create a project targeting angular 17, in the directory you wish to create your project in, run npm i @angular/cli@17, once the command completes, run ng new your-project-name. This will create an angular project with the latest stable version of angular 17

It is preferred to select routing as yes and style sheet to SCSS

Then install the peer dependencies required by the Armature, they can be found below for easy reference

"@angular/animations": "^17.1.2", "@angular/cdk": "^17.1.2", "@angular/common": "^17.1.2", "@angular/compiler": "^17.1.2", "@angular/core": "^17.1.2", "@angular/flex-layout": "^15.0.0-beta.42", "@angular/forms": "^17.1.2", "@angular/material": "^17.1.2", "@angular/platform-browser": "^17.1.2", "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^17.1.2", "@angular/router": "^17.1.2", "@ngx-translate/core": "^15.0.0", "@ngx-translate/http-loader": "^8.0.0", "angular-oauth2-oidc": "~15.0.1", "angular-oauth2-oidc-jwks": "^15.0.1", "rxjs": "~7.8.0", *"moment": "^2.29.4"

After these have been installed, run the following to install armature npm i @softheon/armature

Include the HttpClientModule in the imports of your app.module.ts.

Step 2 -Armature Set Up

2.1 Configurations

Create the following directory(ies) src/app/configs/models.

inside the src/app/configs/models directory create a config.ts file.

Set the contents of the file to the following

import { BaseConfig, HeaderConfig, NavigationConfig, OidcAuthSettings, ThemePaletteModel } from '@softheon/armature';

/** The configurations - new properties can be added here to add more application specific configurations */
export class Config implements BaseConfig {
  /** the odic settings */
  public oAuthSettings: OidcAuthSettings;

  /** The header configurations */
  public header: HeaderConfig;

  /** The theme palette */
  public theme: ThemePaletteModel;

  /** The navigation config */
  public navigation: NavigationConfig;
}

cd into the src/app/configs directory and run the following command ng g service config

In the generated config.service.ts extend ConfigService class with BaseConfig<Config>. The end result should show as below

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { BaseConfigService } from '@softheon/armature';
import { Config } from './models/config';

/**
 * The Config service is used to get the applications configurations
 */
@Injectable()
export class ConfigService extends BaseConfigService<Config> {
}

In the src/assets directory create a baseline folder and a configurations folder.

In the src/assets/baseline folder create an appsettings.json file. This will be where you configure your default configurations for your applications. For now it can be an empty object as seen below

{}

In the src/assets/configurations folder create an appsettings.json file, a en.json file and a theme.json file. These will be the overrides for your languages, theme and configurations. For now it can be an empty as seen below

{}

Finally in your app.module.ts include the following line in your imports array

ArmatureModule.forRoot(ConfigService)

Make sure your ConfigService is added to the providers array in app.module.ts

2.3 Start-up service

cd into the src/app directory and run the following command ng g module core. This will create a core module for later user.

Inside the src/app/core directory create a start-up folder.

cd into src/app/core/start-up and run ng g service start-up.

In the generated start-up.service.ts implement the AbstractStartupService and create a load function that returns Promise.resolve(true). The end result can be found below

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { AbstractStartupService } from '@softheon/armature';

/** The start up service */
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class StartupService implements AbstractStartupService {
    constructor(){}

    public async load(): Promise<any> {
        return Promise.resolve(true);
    }
}

The body of the load function is where you would run your own custom start up logic if any is required.

In your app.module.ts add the following to your array of providers { provide: AbstractStartupService, useClass: StartupService }.

Note - The StartUpService should not need to be included in your providers array in app.module.ts.

2.4 Styles

In your src/style.scss file, import the following two scss files at the top

@import "../node_modules/@softheon/armature/assets/styles/arm-theme.scss";
@import "../node_modules/@softheon/armature/assets/styles/sof-styles.scss";

2.5 Setting the app-template selector

In your app.component.html, use the following selector to add a full header, nav and footer page layout template

<sof-ar-app-template>
</sof-ar-app-template>

Optional Add footer content using the following ng-content selector

<sof-ar-app-template>
    <ng-container sof-ar-footer-content>
        Footer Content here
    </ng-container>
</sof-ar-app-template>

Optional Add additional content between the header and nav using the following selector

<sof-ar-app-template>
    <ng-container sof-ar-template-content>
        Content here
    </ng-container>
</sof-ar-app-template>

2.6 NGX Translate

Initialize the translate module by doing the following in app.module.ts imports and including the factory towards the top of the file outside of the ngModule decorator and make sure an src/assets/i18n/en.json file exists:

/**
 * Creates the translate HTTP loader
 * This is necessary for AoT loading
 * @param http the http
 */
export function createTranslateLoader(http: HttpClient): TranslateHttpLoader {
    return new TranslateHttpLoader(http, './assets/i18n/', '.json');
}

...

 TranslateModule.forRoot({
            loader: {
                provide: TranslateLoader,
                useFactory: (createTranslateLoader),
                deps: [HttpClient]
            }

2.7 Application log in

In your app.module.ts imports, set up the oauth module by doing the following

 OAuthModule.forRoot({
            resourceServer: {
                allowedUrls: [],
                sendAccessToken: true
            }
        }),

Then add the following object to the root level of your src/assets/baseline/appsettings.json file

 "oAuthSettings": {
        "clientId": "your-client-id",
        "issuer": "your-issuer",
        "loginUrl": "your-login-url",
        "scope": "your-scopes",
        "logInText": "SIGN IN",
        "logOutText": "SIGN OUT",
        "redirectUri": "http://localhost:4200/",
        "requireLoginOnStartup": false
    }

if you wish to use implicit flow add the following entry to the object above "responseType": "id_token token"

Note -- The logInText and logOutText support translate keys or plain text

Note -- If your application does not offer sign in, leave the values empty and set the header.settings.displayAuthInfo to false in your baseline appsettings file.

Note -- If your application requires sign in immediately, set requireLoginOnStartup to true

2.8 Turn off User Entity Service

In your app.module.ts include the following in your providers array { provide: USER_ENTITY_SERVICE_CONFIG, useValue: { getUserOnInit: false }},. This will disable the user entity look up, and can be turned on if needed for user information outside of your OIDC provider.

Theming

Follow the class definition for the theme object to supply a full material palette to the application

The navigation theme can be set by the navigation.theme object in the appsettings.json. The navigation section bellow provides additional information about this object.

Navigation Nodes

Populating the navigation.nodes property as described bellow in either your extended config service or the BaseConfigService will allow you to customize the navigation nodes that appear in the side-nav. The same classes are used as described in the navigation section below.

Additional Header Content

If you wish to provide additional header content, the following ng-content selector can be used.

<sof-ar-app-template>
   <ng-container sof-ar-header--right>
     This content will show up to the left of the pre-defined header buttons
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container sof-ar-footer-content>
        Footer Content here
    </ng-container>
</sof-ar-app-template>

Banner service

If you want notification banner you may want to use to banner service and use show message method on specific action that you want.

this.bannerService.showMessage('Example-Banner-Message');

Step 3 - Shared Component & Styling

Check out the Armature Documentation site for more information on how to use our shared components & styling.

Theme Module

In order to use the theme module, in your app.module, add the ThemeModule to the imports.

Its recommended to set the theme in an app initializer, though it can be done from other locations.

1. Inject the ThemeService into your desired class/component/service etc
2. Get/create a ThemePaletteModel, an example json can be found below.

{
    "primaryColor": {
        "fifty": "#E6E5F0",
        "oneHundred": "#C2BFDA",
        "twoHundred": "#9994C1",

        "a100": "#FFFFFF",
        "a200": "#FFF9F3",
        "a400": "#FFE1C0",
        "a700": "#FFD5A7"
    },
    "accentContrast": {

        "a400": "#000000",
        "a700": "#000000"
    },
    "warningColor": {
        "fifty": "#FDE8E7",
        "oneHundred": "#FAC7C3",
        "twoHundred": "#F6A19B",
        "threeHundred": "#F27B73",
        "fourHundred": "#F05F55",
        "fiveHundred": "#ED4337",

        "a100": "#FFFFFF",
        "a200": "#FFDFDE",
        "a400": "#FFADAB",
        "a700": "#FF9491"
    },

        "a400": "#000000",
        "a700": "#000000"
    }
}

3. Then call ThemeService.initPalette providing the ThemePaletteModel as the argument. A snippet can be found below

export class MyClass {
  constructor(
    private readonly themeService: ThemeService
  )
  {
    const model: ThemePaletteModel = {
      // your theme here, this can be loaded from http call if needed
    };
    this.themeService.initPalette(model);
  }
}

Colors with opacity

The theme palettes all offer a rgb value through css variables, the following naming convention is used --{{palette}}-color-{{partsNumber}}-parts-rgb. So in order to get an opacity of .2 on the primary color, 500 parts the following css can be used

rgba(var(--primary-color-500-parts-rgb), .2)

Armature Navigation

<sof-ar-navigation></sof-ar-navigation> is a mobile-responsive navigation component. It structures the application view content to the right and the navigation to the left.

Navigation Setup Overview

        route: '/faqs',
        subNodes: []
      }
    ];
  }

Navigation HTML Setup

Add component to your app.component.html file. The component has 3 ng-content parts:

1. sof-ar-nav-header place content that you'd like to appear within the navigation above the nodes
2. sof-ar-nav-footer place content that you'd like to appear within the navigation underneath the nodes
3. sof-ar-nav-content this is where your primary content (i.e. router-outlet) goes

TIP Be sure to place the sof-ar-navigation component immediately after (under) your toolbar / header.

Example

<sof-ar-navigation [navigationData]="exampleNav" [settings]="exampleSettings">
  <!-- Navigation Header -->
  <div sof-ar-nav-header>
    <p style="margin: 20px 0; text-align: center">
      [ This Content Appears in the Header ]
    </p>
  </div>
  <!-- Navigation Footer -->
  <div sof-ar-nav-footer class="visible-mobile">
    <hr/>
    <div class="mat-nav-list mat-list-base custom-nav">
      <a class="nav-item mat-list-item">
        <div class="mat-list-item-content">
          <span class="icon-styling"><i class="fad fa-globe"></i></span>
          {{'demo.nav_g' | translate}}
        </div>
      </a>
      <a class="nav-item mat-list-item">
          <div class="mat-list-item-content">
            <span class="icon-styling"><i class="fad fa-language"></i></span>
            {{'demo.nav_h' | translate}}
          </div>
        </a>
    </div>
  </div>
  <!-- Content Goes Here -->
  <div sof-ar-nav-content>
    <router-outlet></router-outlet>
  </div>
</sof-ar-navigation>

Additional Styling Customizations

Sticky Header

To make the header sticky on mobile, add the class 'sof-ar-fixed-nav' to your header component. i.e.

<div class="toolbar header-menu-padding sof-ar-fixed-nav" role="banner">

Mobile Menu Icon

You will have to create a mobile only class for your document that adds the appropriate padding to your header on mobile.

i.e.:

@media only screen and (max-width: 959px) {
  .header-menu-padding {
    padding-left: 40px; // set this value depending on the size of your button icon
  }
}

Mobile Menu Icon customizations

Custom styling for the icon depending on the header height:

.sof-ar-nav-menu-btn {
  width: 60px !important;
  height: 60px !important;
  line-height: 60px !important;
}

.sof-ar-nav-menu-icon {
  font-size: 30px;
  line-height: 30px;
}

.sof-ar-nav-menu-btn .mat-icon {
  font-size: 60px;
  width: 60px;
  height: 60px;
  line-height: 60px;
}

Additional Tips

Add the class custom-nav to the mat-nav-list div to hide the lines between each list item.

i.e.

<div sof-ar-nav-footer class="visible-mobile">
  <hr/>
  <div class="mat-nav-list mat-list-base custom-nav">
    <a class="nav-item mat-list-item">
      <div class="mat-list-item-content">
        <span class="icon-styling"><i class="fad fa-globe"></i></span>
        English
      </div>
    </a>
    <a class="nav-item mat-list-item">
        <div class="mat-list-item-content">
          <span class="icon-styling"><i class="fad fa-language"></i></span>
          Language Assistance
        </div>
      </a>

The component has 1 ng-content part:

1. sof-ar-footer-content this is for custom content in the footer

TIP Be sure to place the sof-ar-footer inside the sof-ar-nav-content ng-content in the sof-ar-navigation component and after the router outlet.

Additional Footer Sections

There are two pre footer sections that are optional and disabled by default. These both use ng content with their own selectors. Follow the steps below to use the pre footer sections

1. Create a FooterConfig and provide it as an input to the Armature footer component

  public footerConfig = new FooterConfig()

  footerConfig.showPreContent1 = true;
  footerConfig.showPreContent2 = true;

2. Include an ng container with the following selectors in your html: sof-ar-footer-pre-content-1 and sof-ar-footer-pre-content-2. The final html is shown below

 <sof-ar-footer [footerConfig]="footerConfig">
    <ng-container sof-ar-footer-pre-content-1>
      content for section 1
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container sof-ar-footer-pre-content-2>

...

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        ...
        ArmatureModule
        ...
    ],
    ...
})

Site Map Typescript Component Setup

Import the necessary models from the npm package and configure the site map component inputs in your Angular typescript component. We recommend you do this ngOnInit().

Configure the Armature Component Site Map config [config].

The site map component has many options to display links. The following will contain several examples to show how to configure the site map.

This configuration contains two columns with text-blue style class for the section title and the text-green style class for the individual links and contains one section of links in each columns. The first column contains a section with Navigation as the title and has a vertical aligned internal links that leads to payment and document. The payment link has a text-red style. The second column contains a single external link that goes to softheon wiki.

  public siteMapComponentConfig: SiteMapConfig = {
    sectionTitleClass: 'text-blue',
    linkClass: 'text-green',
    graph:[
      [
        {
          sectionTitle: 'Navigation',
          direction: SiteMapDirection.Vertical,
          links: [
            {
              text: 'Make a Payment',
              routerLink: 'payment',
              routePath: RoutePath.Internal,
              linkClass: 'text-red'
            },
            {
              text: 'View documents',
              routerLink: 'document',
              routePath: RoutePath.Internal
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      [
        {
          sectionTitle: 'External Links',
          direction: SiteMapDirection.Vertical,
          links: [
            {
              text: 'Softheon Wiki',
              routerLink: 'https://wiki.softheon.com/Wiki/',
              routePath: RoutePath.External
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    ]
  }

This next configuration will contain a horizontal aligned icon links that has a external routes section and an internal route section in two separate sections in a single column

 public siteMapComponentConfig: SiteMapConfig = {
    sectionTitleClass: 'text-blue',
    linkClass: 'text-green',
    graph:[
      [
        {
          sectionTitle: 'External Links',
          direction: SiteMapDirection.Horizontal,
          iconLinks: true,
          links: [
            {
              text: 'Softheon Wiki',
              routerLink: 'https://wiki.softheon.com/Wiki/',
              routePath: RoutePath.External,
              logoClass: 'fa fa-wikipedia-w',
              linkClass: 'text-blue'
            },
            {
              text: 'Facebook',
              routerLink: 'https://www.facebook.com/',
              routePath: RoutePath.External,
              logoClass: 'fab fa-facebook',
              linkClass: 'text-blue'
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          sectionTitle: 'Internal Links',
          direction: SiteMapDirection.Horizontal,
          iconLinks: true,
          links: [
            {
              text: 'Payment',
              routerLink: 'payment',
              routePath: RoutePath.Internal,
              logoClass: 'far fa-credit-card',
              linkClass: 'text-blue'
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    ]
  }

Site Map HTML Setup

It is recommended to use this component inside armature footer sof-ar-footer in one of the ng containers sof-ar-footer-content, sof-ar-footer-pre-content-1 or sof-ar-footer-pre-content-2

 <sof-ar-footer [footerConfig]="footerConfig">
    <ng-container sof-ar-footer-pre-content-1>
      content for section 1
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container sof-ar-footer-pre-content-2>
      content for section 2
    </ng-container>
    <ng-container sof-ar-footer-content>
      <sof-ar-site-map [config]='siteMapComponentConfig'></sof-ar-site-map>
    </ng-container>
  </sof-ar-footer>

Site Map Styling Tips

Styling the columns

You can override the sof-ar-site-map-column class to customize the columns in the site map.

Example:

::ng-deep .sof-ar-site-map-column {
  padding: 10px;
}

Custom class styling config input

Custom classes passed in the component config should be defined in the component that utilizes the sof-ar-site-map. For example if class 'link-container' is passed in the linkClass config, you can define it in the stylesheet of the host component. In the following example, it shows how you create padding for the link and change the color for the text in the link.

Example:

::ng-deep .link-container {
  padding: 10px;
}

::ng-deep .link-container > a {
  color: blue;
}

    filledBackground: {
      error: "#FFF0E0",
      information: "#F3EEE0",
      warn: "#FFF4D1"

  };

Alert Service

On the sof-ar-app-template, there is a built in alert banner that can be used and can be turned off if hasAlertBanner is set to false. If hasAlertBanner is true, then the AlertBannerService can be leveraged to show alert messages.

<sof-ar-app-template [hasAlertBanner]="false">
</sof-ar-app-template>

Hybrid SAML OAuth Service

The Hybrid SAML OAuth Service allows for the management of the local/session storage containing saml assertion data and an OAuth 2.0 access token.

Injection Tokens

InjectionTokens.keyPathSuffix - required

Provides the suffix that will be used when retrieving data from local/session storage

InjectionTokens.window - required

Provides the window object to the service

InjectionTokens.tokenEndpoint - required

The endpoint to be used for refreshing the access token

GlobalInjectionTokens.tokenRefreshTimeMinutes - optional

Amount of time to wait before refreshing the access token. The default is 30 min

InjectionTokens.browserStorageImplementation - optional

Potential values: local | session

This injection token determines what implementation of browser storage will be sued. The default is local.

When using session the value that is provided through local storage will be moved into session storage. After this is done the entry in local storage will be removed.

Armature Role Based Navigation

The Armature Role Based Navigation allow a configuration to be provided indicating the roles allowed in the application and the pages/actions the roles have access to. The roles for a given user are determined through the use of an OAuth2.0 access tokens and a user info endpoint.

RBAC stands for Role Based Access Control

Configuration

Below is an example configuration for defining roles.

export const rbacConfig: RbacConfig = {
    roleConfig: {
        'Service Account': {
            pages: [
                '/documents/invoice',
                '/payment',
                '/autopay',
                '/scheduled',
                '/history',
                '/payment-methods',
                '/paperless'
            ]
        },
        pc: {
            pages: [
                '/buy/pc-games'
            ]
        },
        fanatic: {
            pages: [
                '/buy/**',
            ]
        },
        retro: {
            pages: [
                '/collect/retro-games',
                '/collect'
            ]
        },
        admin: {
            actions: [
                'god-mode'
            ]
        }
    }
};

The RbacConfig above has the following roles, Service Account, pc, fanatic, retro, admin. Any roles not provided in the config will get no access.

Defining a role with no pages or an empty pages entry results in full access

** is used to denote wild card access to child routes.

If a role has access to a child page, for example /documents/invoice they will automatically gain access to the /documents route but not the /documents/some-other-route.

If a user has multiple roles, the access for all of their roles will be merged.

If no role is found, no access is provided

Rbac Action Directive

The Role service also support a directive for showing or hiding items based on role and actions. Actions are string provided in the RBAC config that can be used through the project in the form of a directive. And example of the usage can be seen below

<button mat-icon-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="exampleMenu" aria-label="Example icon-button with a menu" *sofArRbacAction="'god-mode'">
  <span class="sof-ar-header-icon primary-color">
    <i class="fad fa-bell"></i>
  </span>
  <span class="sr-only">{{'demo.header_notifications' | translate}}</span>
</button>

The button listed above will only be visible when the role of the current user has the action god-mode configured for their role. This is done throught the *sofArRbacAction attribute that can be included on any html element.

If the role of the user doesn't have access to the action, the html element will not be displayed to them

Navigation Set up

To use the navigation follow the steps below, these are for integrating the role control with Armature Navigation Module and configurations.

1. In your root module include the RbacModule in your application module

2. Provide the follow Inject Tokens in your module's providers

    providers: [
      ...
      { provide: RbacConfig, useValue: {}} // your rbac config object here
      ...
    ]

3. Inject the OAuth2.0 role service into your component

constructor(
  private readonly oAuthRoleService: Oauth2RoleService
) { }

4. Then get the newly configured Armature navigation

this.oAuthRoleService.decodedToken$.subscribe(token => {
  this.navData = this.oAuthRoleService.getControlledNavObject(armNavData.navigation, token.claims.getRole);
});

Custom Auth Config

If an application need to switch to a different issuer for auth and requires custom logic there is a CustomAuthConfigService the application can define and setup Auth for logins.

1. Implement a class that extends CustomAuthConfigService and define the auth config function

2. Inject the newly defined class into the component

      providers: [
      ...
      { provide: CustomAuthConfigService, useValue: ImplementedCustomAuthConfigService } // your implemented custom auth config service here
      ...
    ]

Elastic RUM set up

In order to include RUM error handling and Route watching, the following should be included in your app.module

First, add the RumModule to your imports

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
    ],
    imports: [
        RumModule
    ],
    providers: [
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Next, provide the RumErrorHandlerService as your global error handler

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
    ],
    imports: [
        RumModule
    ],
    providers: [
      {
        provide: ErrorHandler,
        useClass: RumErrorHandlerService
      }
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Finally, create a constructor and initialize Rum

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
    ],
    imports: [
        RumModule
    ],
    providers: [
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
  constructor(@Inject(RumService) rumService: RumService) {
        const config = new RumConfig();
        config.serverUrl = 'https://<your-rum-apm-url>/';
        config.serviceName = '<application-name>';
        rumService.initializeRum(config);
    }
}

Replace the serverUrl with your apm/rum server and replace the serviceName with an application name.

The initializeRum function provides an optional parameter for a user. By default it utilizes the armature sessionId for the userName and userId, these can be customized if desired by providing the optional values to the function.

Error Handler

This module comes with an error handler built in, that will package errors and ship them to RUM. There are two ways it looks for errors. Angular errors, such as http request failures, get captured by the RumErrorHandler instead of the default and get shipped to RUM.

The second looks at any calls being made to console.error and intercepts them. It takes the error, passes it through the error handler, which will submit the error to RUM, then lets the error be logged to the console.

Softheon Error Handler

For instances where RUM has not been set up or there are problems connecting, the softheon error handler has been introduced. By using this service errors are shipped to a provided api endpoint and can be handled by that given endpoint. Logs are shipped in the string format.

The default log level is Warn.

Error Module

Error Common Component

In order to use this component please import the ErrorModule into the parent module the component is being used in

Overview

This component provides a generic error display that can be used for a wide variety of errors. In order to use the component, first create the configuration object for it in your typescript

/** The app component */
@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  public errorCommonComponentConfig: ErrorCommonConfig = new ErrorCommonConfig();
  constructor() {
    this.errorCommonComponentConfig.showErrorImage = true;
    this.errorCommonComponentConfig.headerOneText = 'my title text';
    this.errorCommonComponentConfig.headerOneClass = 'text-red';
    this.errorCommonComponentConfig.headerTwoText = 'Secondary title';
    this.errorCommonComponentConfig.headerTwoClass = 'text-blue';
    this.errorCommonComponentConfig.infoText = 'Info Text section';
    this.errorCommonComponentConfig.infoTextClass = 'text-green';
  }
}

Then pass the config to the config input of the component

  <sof-ar-error-common [config]="errorCommonComponentConfig"></sof-ar-error-common>

In this example the css classes look as follows to apply colors to the text

::ng-deep .text-red {
    color: red !important;
}

::ng-deep .text-blue {
    color: blue !important;
}

::ng-deep .text-green {
    color: green !important;
}

CSS Overrides

This section will describe how to utilize the Armature CSS Override directive

Usage

1. Include the ThemeModule or ArmatureModule in your AppModule.
2. In you app.component.html include the following attribute [sofArCssOverride]
3. In your app.component.ts create a cssOverride public property.
4. In ngOnInit initialize the property to have your desired overrides, an example object can be found bellow.

html Snippet

<!-- app.component.ts -->
<div [sofArCssOverride]="cssOverride">
  ...
  your application content
  ...
</div>

// app.component.ts

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

  public cssOverride: Array<CssOverride>;

  public ngOnInit(): void {
    this.cssOverride = 
    [
          {
              selector: 'tag',
              parameter: 'body',
              attributes: [
                  {
                      name: 'font-family',
                      value: '"Comic Sans MS", cursive, sans-serif'
                  }
              ]
          }
      ];
  }
}

CssOverride Configuration

The directive uses an array of CssOverride objects. The definition for the object can be found bellow

CssOverride

The selector indicates how the dom will be searched for html elements

• tag - searches by html element tag name, ie. body, div, span
• id - searches by element id, returns only 1 element, ie. myElementId
• class - searches by class name, ie. some-css-class

Attribute

Saving/Printing a specified component

This section will describe how any component for an application can be saved/printed

Setup

There are few steps that must be done in order to use this functionality

First: In the module that will be using this functionality include the following import

import { SofArComponentSavePrintModule } from '@softheon/armature';

@ngModule({
  declarations: [...],
  imports: [
    ...
    SofArComponentSavePrintModule
    ...
  ]
})

Last: Include the following component in a component that will be on the page at the time the user will select to save/print. This can be done in the app.component.ts or in a specific route in the application.

<sof-ar-component-save-print></sof-ar-component-save-print>

Usage

In this example, the print command will be executed by an application defined button in a component. The save/print functionality is not limited to a component, it can be executed from a service/directive/pipe etc.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ComponentSavePrintService } from '@softheon/armature';
import { SomeOtherComponent } from './some/local/component/location';

/** The save print component */
@Component({
  selector: 'app-save-print',
  templateUrl: './save-print.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./save-print.component.scss']
})
export class SavePrintComponent implements OnInit {

  /**
   * The constructor
   * @param componentSavePrintService The save/print component service
   */
  constructor(
    private readonly componentSavePrintService: ComponentSavePrintService
  ) { }

  /** Angular life cycle hook for component initialization */
  public ngOnInit(): void {
  }

  /** Downloads the pdf of the page */
  public downloadPdf(): void {
    this.componentSavePrintService.savePrintComponent(SomeOtherComponent);
  }
}

The savePrintComponent function takes the type of component that will be saved/printed as the only argument. This component does not have to be the same as the component executing the save/print function, it can be any component in the application including routes.

Limitations

There is currently no way to pass in custom inputs to the component being save/printed. This can be prevented by having a component host the component in question with the correct default inputs and providing the host component to the function rather the desired component.

Subdomain Routing

Armature support subdomain routing including loading configurations specific to the subdomain, with some additional logic to help with ensuring users can't use the site when they shouldn't be able to.

In order to use subdomain routing in your appsettings.json at the root level add a subdomain section. This section has two properties, subdomains and requireConfiguredSubdomain. The subdomains section is a white list of subdomains, this should be configured to only include the subdomain, for example if the url is https://subdomain.domain.host.com/route, there would be an entry for subdomain in the subdomains array.

The requireConfiguredSubdomain ,when true, means when the application start ups with a detected subdomain, it must also find configurations in its assets/configurations directory for that subdomain in the format of subdomain.appsettings.json. If no configurations are found, the application will not start up. When thi
