ember-alexandria

The frontend for the alexandria document management service

Compatibility

• Ember.js v3.12 or above
• Ember CLI v2.13 or above
• Node.js v10 or above

Installation

ember install ember-alexandria

Then add the following lines to your app/styles/app.scss:

@import "ember-uikit";
@import "ember-alexandria";

Usage

Mount the engine with the following command in your app/router.js:

this.mount("ember-alexandria", { path: "/" });

To pass the required services update your app.js:

constructor(...args) {
  super(...args);

  this.engines = {
    emberAlexandria: {
      dependencies: {
        services: ["store", "intl", "notification"],
      },
    },
  };
}

Configuration

You can configure if the models should be filtered by meta and what the default meta value for a model should be. Each configuration field is scoped by model name (check out the example to understand what is meant by this).

For this you need to create a service extending from ember-alexandria/services/config which you then have to pass as config to alexandria.

This is needed since an engine does not merge its env into the host apps. See ember-engines/ember-engines#176 for more info.

If you mounted alexandria with query params this.mount("ember-alexandria", {path: "/:your_query_param/documents/"}); you can access the query params in you config service (as shown in the example above) with this.alexandriaQueryParams.your_query_param.

If you need to access the alexandriaQueryParams inside your config check that you define modelMetaFilters and/or defaultModelMeta as getters. If you don't need alexandriaQueryParams you can ignore the getters and just define the field as usual.

Example:

import ConfigService from "ember-alexandria/services/config";

export default class AlexandriaConfigService extends ConfigService {
  get modelMetaFilters() {
    return {
      document: [
        { key: "your_meta_field", value: this.alexandriaQueryParams.your_query_param
},
      ],
    };
  }

  get defaultModelMeta() {
    return {
      document: {
        your_meta_field: this.alexandriaQueryParams.your_query_param,
      },
      file: {
        is_alexandria_file: true
      }
    };
  }
}
