Hi, folks. By default, custom angular components have no setting UI panel, as on screen. I haven't found any info in docs, so maybe here somebody knows how to add user-friendly way to set up component?

Hello,
​​​​​​​
Unfortunately, for now, the system does not support such no-code option. However, already informed our developers about this option, and they will work on this feature in future versions. 

Thank you for helping us improve the system!


Best regards,
Ivan

Ivan Savenko,

ok, thx. Maybe there is some way to detect when page opened in configuration mode?

Hi,

I'm developing my own custom Angular component for Creatio. I would like to use some of the standard components within it, such as a lookup field. How can I achieve this?

Is it possible to create a custom component that acts as a container for other elements, similar to crt.FlexContainer, which defines an items property for child components?

Hello Eryk,

Unfortunately, it's impossible to reuse components in custom angular components for now, but Creatio plans to add such functionality in future releases.

Hi,



I have been working on adding new custom components using the new freedom UI following the below Creatio article.

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/developer/front_end_development_freedom_ui/remote_module/implement_a_remote_module/overview



After doing some additional research I was able to add some custom components successfully. But I'm kind of stuck on where I need to pass the data from Creatio's side to that specific angular component. Please refer to the below screenshots of my code snippets and if anyone has any idea on what I'm missing can you guide me or provide some resources to get more idea on this?

 

Below is the "card.component.html" file:

<mat-card class="card-class" *ngFor="let val of valuelist" >
    <mat-card-header></mat-card-header>
    <mat-card-content class="content-wrapper">
        <div fxFill fxLayout="row">
            <div fxFlex="30" fxLayout="space-around center">
                <div fxFlex fxLayoutAlign>
                    <img mat-card-sm-image src="https://material.angular.io/assets/img/examples/shiba2.jpg" alt="Free Image" class="responsive-image"  >
                </div>
                <div fxFlex fxLayoutAlign>
                    <img mat-card-sm-image src="https://material.angular.io/assets/img/examples/shiba2.jpg" alt="Free Image" class="responsive-image" >
                </div>
            </div>
            <div fxFlex="55" fxLayout="column" fxLayoutAlign="center start" class="contentN" >
                <mat-card-title>{{val}}</mat-card-title>
                <mat-card-subtitle>{{val}}</mat-card-subtitle>
            </div>
            <div fxFlex="15" fxLayout fxLayoutAlign="center center" class="contentP">
                <img mat-card-sm-image src="https://material.angular.io/assets/img/examples/shiba2.jpg" alt="Free Image" class="responsive-image" >
            </div>
        </div>
    </mat-card-content>
    <mat-card-footer></mat-card-footer>
</mat-card>

 As in the above, from using ngFor I'm adding cards based on the data which are coming from the "valuelist". Below is the example of the "card.component.ts" file:



 

import { Component, EventEmitter, Input, OnInit, Output, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { CrtInput, CrtOutput,CrtInterfaceDesignerItem, CrtViewElement } from '@creatio-devkit/common';
 
 
@Component({
  selector: 'mlcgd-card',
  templateUrl: './card.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./card.component.scss'],
  //encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.ShadowDom
})
 
/* Add the CrtViewElement decorator to the Textpromt component. */
@CrtViewElement({
  selector: 'mlcgd-card',
  type: 'mlcgd.Card'
})
 
/* Add the CrtViewElement decorator to the InputComponent component. */
@CrtInterfaceDesignerItem({
  /* Manage the element layout in the library of the Freedom UI Designer. */
  toolbarConfig: {
    caption: 'Card View',
    name: 'CardView',
    /* The path to the component image. */
    icon: require('!!raw-loader?{esModule:false}!./icon.svg'),
    defaultPropertyValues: {
      label: 'Card View'
    }
  }
})
 
export class CardComponent {
 
  valuelist:string[] = [];
 
  constructor() {}
 
  @Input()
  @CrtInput()
  /* ...............The input value. */
  public value: string = 'Lakindu, Chinthana, Deshan';
 
  @Output()
  @CrtOutput()
  /* ................Track input value changes. */
  public valueChange = new EventEmitter<string>();
 
  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.valuelist = this.value.split(',')
  }
}

As you can see in the above code snippet I have a string called "value" and I have hardcoded 3 values for that. What I need to achieve is without hardcoding the data I need to get those data from the Creatio's end like from a field. So to do that I need to modify the code which is gonna add to the viewconfig array in the client schema. Please refer to the below Code snippet. And I need help with modifying it accordingly to pass the data from Creatio to the component.

 

{
				"operation": "insert",
				"name": "Card_hs3upn6",
				"values": {
					"type": "mlcgd.Card",
					"label": "Card View",
					"value": "$MLCGDName"
				},
				"parentName": "FlexContainer_08awxs2",
				"propertyName": "items",
				"index": 0
			}

Kind Regards,

Lakindu

Hello,

You can find an example of working with the field value in these articles.

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/developer/front_end_development_freedo…

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/developer/front_end_development_freedo…

They described information on how to create a validator/converter for the value in a field.

Hello,



Thanks for sharing this but I'm afraid this might not be the one that I'm looking for. Anyways do you have anything related to dashboards? Like adding a new dashboard element using a remote module?



I was able to add some components there but for the moment I am kind of stuck at passing the data to the created component using the remote module.

Unfortunately, no, we don't have such examples.

To be honest, the remote module is quite a fresh feature, which means that currently, it doesn't have much logic. If possible, it would be better to use other methods to add your business logic.

Lakindu Yasomith,

Maybe this article can help you:

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/developer/front_end_development_freedo…

 

If not, please let us know. Maybe you can describe your case in more detail for support@creatio.com.

Lakindu Yasomith,

Hi,

 

I'm also working on a custom component and have the same issue.

Did you find a solution to this?

 

Br,

Robert
