ember-imdt-magic-crud v0.5.33

Ember-imdt-magic-crud

This Ember Addon is a utility for simplifying the adition of simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) functionality to ember projects.

Dependencies

In order for this addon to work it will have to install it's required addons to your host application, but don't worry, they are just for displaying information and validation.

Pages

• Ember-imdt-table - Table component
• Ember-validations - Form validation
• Ember-bootstrap-switch - Bootstrap switch
• Ember-selectize - multi select (will soon be fully replaced for ember-power-select)
• Ember-power-select - Select component

Setting up your magic-cruds

The Blueprint

After you have everything installed and ready to go, it is time to start coding. in order to create a magic-crud you can use the blueprint that we provide like this: ember generate magic-crud <resource name>, this will create the routes, and the controller you need in order for the crud to work, after this you will only need to set the crud settings in your generated controller and create the routes in the router.

The Router

Now all you need to do is set the routes in your router. In your router you can use the magicRouteMapper, this will create the index, new, edit and show routes in your router in a single line of code. here is an example.

// router.js
import Ember from 'ember';
import config from './config/environment';

var Router = Ember.Router.extend({
  location: config.locationType
});

const MagicRouter = MagicRouteMapper.create();

Router.map(function() {
  MagicRouter.map(this, 'person');
  MagicRouter.map(this, 'city');
  MagicRouter.map(this, 'country');
});

export default Router;

The Base route Route

If you used the blueprint this is the root route of the resource you have created. It already has some commented code to help you visualize what you want to end up with. Here is where most of the magic is set to happen. In the route you set the table and form options. You only need to set these in one route for each resource, the magic-crud will set the other routes automatically for you.

The table options are set just like the ember-imdt-table addon you can see details there.

Form definitions

The form definitions is where you set the form inputs. The supported input types are:

• text
• password
• checkbox
• switch
• select
• multiselect
• textarea

Validations

The validations use ember-validations, the only difference being that we set the validations in the form definitions.

import Ember from 'ember';
import MagicIndexRoute from 'ember-imdt-magic-crud/mixins/magic-index-route';

const{
  A
} = Ember;

export default Ember.Route.extend(MagicIndexRoute, {
  MagicCrud:{
    options: {
      tableTitle: "City",
      crudTitle: "City CRUD"
    },

    table: {
      sortProperties: new A(['nome:asc']),
      columns: new A([{
        contentPath: 'id',
        columnTitle: '#'
      }, {
        contentPath: 'name',
        columnTitle: 'Name'
      }, {
        contentPath: 'country.name',
        columnTitle: 'Country'
      }, {
        contentPath: 'active',
        columnTitle: 'Active'
      }, {
        contentPath: 'template',
        columnTitle: 'Actions',
        template: 'custom/table-actions',
        isSortable: false
      }]),
    },

    form: [{
      attribute: 'model.active',
      type: 'switch',
    }, {
      attribute: 'model.country',
      label: 'Country',
      type: 'select',
      selectFunction: function(self) {
        return self.store.peekAll('country').filter((c) => {
          return c.get('active') || c.get('id') === self.get('model.country.id');
        });
      },
      selectValuePath: 'id',
      selectLabelPath: 'name'
    }, {
      attribute: 'model.name',
      label: 'Name',
      type: 'text',
      validations: {
        presence: true,
      }
    }, {
      attribute: 'model.description',
      label: 'Description',
      type: 'textarea',
      validations: {
        presence: true,
      }
    }]
  }
});

Templates

Starting in 0.5.1 you should define your own magic-crud/form and magic-crud/table templates. like the examples below.

app/templates/magic-crud/form

<div class="page">
  <div class="page-header">
    <h3 class="page-title">
      {{MagicCrud.options.crudTitle}}
      {{#if model.id}}
        <small>#{{model.id}}</small>
        <small class="pull-right"><b>Last Modification:</b> {{moment-format model.modified 'L' allow-empty=true}}</small>
       {{/if}}
    </h3>
  </div>
  <div class="page-body">
    <form class="form" {{action "saveRecord" on="submit"}}>
      {{magic-form model=model errors=errors definitions=MagicCrud.form submitted=submitted}}

      <hr>

      <div class="row form-group">
        <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3 col-lg-2">
          <button class="btn btn-block btn-lg btn-primary" type="submit">{{fa-icon 'floppy-o' fixedWidth=true}} Save</button>
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3 col-lg-2">
          <button class="btn btn-block btn-lg btn-default" {{action 'cancelAction'}}>{{fa-icon 'undo' fixedWidth=true}} Cancel</button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </form>
  </div>
</div>

app/templates/magic-crud/table

<div class="page">
  <div class="page-header clearfix">
    <h3 class="page-title pull-left">
      {{MagicCrud.options.tableTitle}}
    </h3>
    <button class="add btn btn-sm btn-success pull-right" type="button" name="button" {{action 'goToAction' 'new'}}><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i>  New Record</button>
  </div>

  <div class="page-body row">
    <div class="col-md-12">
      {{imdt-table
        sortProperties=MagicCrud.table.sortProperties
        content=model
        tableClassNames='table table-striped table-hover table-bordered'
        columns=MagicCrud.table.columns
        goToAction='goToAction'}}
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Thats it, any questions or suggestions are welcome as this is a very early stage addon.
