Konga UI konga-project

Overview

konga-ui is the User Interface generator for konga. See more about Konga at the official website: http://konga.io/.

Installation

Tools

You will need to set some things up to get Konga up and running in a project:

• NPM: Get Node + NPM at https://nodejs.org/en/download/
• Bower: http://bower.io/
• Grunt: http://gruntjs.com/
• Yeoman: http://yeoman.io/

Procedure

• Go to your Angular project's root and install Konga by typing:

bower install --save ui.konga

(Optionally you can start a new project from scratch using Yeoman and generator-angular: yo angular my-app)

• On your Angular's dependency declaration, add Konga's:

angular.module('myApp', [
	...
	'ui.konga',
	...
]);

• Create an actions directory under /app/scripts/. There will lay your custom actions.
• Create a metadata.json file under /app and paste these contents:

For demo purposes we are going to create a basic TODO list with Lists and Tasks.

• Configure Grunt task to load metadata: On your Gruntfile.js file type this:

ngconstant: {
  // Options for all targets
  options: {
    space: '  ',
    wrap: '"use strict";\n\n {%= __ngModule %}',
    name: 'myApp-config',
    dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>/scripts/config.js'
  },
  // Environment targets
  development: {
    constants: {
      // In case you already use grunt-ngconstant, you simply need to add this line to the 'constants' object
      metadata: grunt.file.readJSON('app/metadata.json')
    }
  }
},

And attach the task ngconstant to Grunt's serve task:

grunt.registerTask('serve', 'Compile then start a connect web server', function (target) {
  if (target === 'dist') {
    return grunt.task.run(['build', 'connect:dist:keepalive']);
  }

  grunt.task.run([
    'clean:server',
    'wiredep',
    'concurrent:server',
    'autoprefixer:server',
    'concat:actions',
    'ngconstant', // Add your task here
    'ngtemplates',
    'connect:livereload',
    'watch'
  ]);
});

• Include the new configuration dependency to your app

angular.module('myApp', [
  ...
  'ui.konga',
  'myApp-config',
  ...
]);

And reference the config.js file on your index.html file:

<script src="scripts/config.js"></script>

• Attach metadata loading and Session startup:

angular.module('myApp')
.run(['Session', function(Session) {
  Session.data.authToken = '';
  Session.data.roles = [];
}])
.run(['metadata', '$rootScope', 'common', function(metadata, $rootScope, common) {
  // Save in scope
  // FIXME Remove
  $rootScope.metadata = metadata;

  // Store the metadata
  common.store('metadata', metadata);

  // Init the tools
  util.init(metadata);
}]);

• Finally, engage Konga's main controller to your index.html file:

<body ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="KongaCtrl">
...
</body>

Launching

In order to start Konga behaviors, you need to setup an entry point to Konga within your app. We are going to add a simple button that will launch TODO List searching when clicked.

• On the first view loaded in your app, include this:

<button ng-click="operations.openEntitySearch('todo-list')" class="btn btn-success">Open TODO List</button>

• From this point you should be able to see a view to manage lists, and beneath it some views to manage their tasks.
