# The Primo New UI Customization Workflow Development Environment
##JavaScript documentation
- When you want to add functionality to your Primo installation you will be using Angular Directives.
- To learn more about directives see:
> https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive
- Primo uses external directives from the Angular-material framework:
> https://material.angularjs.org/latest/
- Those directives are tagged by a prefix : "md-"
- Primo also creates its own directives which are tagged by the "prm-" prefix.
Example:
```
<header layout="column" layout-fill class="topbar-wrapper">
<prm-topbar>
</prm-topbar>
<prm-search-bar (search-event)="prmSearch.onSearchBarSearchEvent()">
</prm-search-bar>
<md-progress-linear class="header-progress-bar animation-scale-up-down" md-mode="indeterminate" ng-show="prmSearch.searchInProgress">
</md-progress-linear>
</header>
```
- You can see in the example how we use :
1. An HTML5 tag - header
2. A Primo directive : prm-topbar , prm-search-bar.
3. An external material design directive : md-progress-bar :
> https://material.angularjs.org/latest/api/directive/mdProgressLinear
##Concept
- When You want to add your own JavaScript functionality - you will need to plug-in to placeholder Directives we added to the system.
- Those directive are added as the last child element for every Primo directive (defined by the `prm-` prefix)
- The placeholder directives are injected (as input) with the Controller of their parent, thus have access to the data model of the parent directive
- Use the examples below as starting points for your JavaScript plug-in directives
- Learn about Angular Directives to better understand the different abilities this workflow offers
> https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive
##Recipes/Examples:
# JavaScript Recipe 1 - a Static `hello world` html Message
- Use the `showDirectives` (located in the root directory of this package is the showDirectives.txt file
, just add the content of the file as a bookmark to your browser) scriplet to identify the `prmSearchBarAfter` directive which you will plugin to
- Edit the primo-explore/custom/js/custom.js file and add a component declaration for the `prmSearchBarAfter` directive
```
app.component('prmSearchBarAfter', {
});
```
- Add the template property with your static message
```
app.component('prmSearchBarAfter', {
template: `<span style="margin-left: 40%;">Hello World</span>`
});
```
- Save and refresh your browser
# JavaScript Recipe 2 - a Dynamic Directive
- Use the `showDirectives` scriplet to identify the `prmSearchBarAfter` directive which you will plugin to
- Run the following command in your browsers' console tab:
```
angular.reloadWithDebugInfo()
```
- Focus on the `prmSearchBarAfter` directive
- Run the following command in your browsers' console tab:
```
angular.element($0).scope().ctrl
```
- Review the properties of the directive to decide which data elements can be used, avoid methods/functions as they wont be backwards compatible
- Edit primo-explore/custom/js/custom.js file and add a component declaration for the `prmSearchBarAfter` directive
- Add a binding definition the input parentCtrl
```
bindings: {parentCtrl: '<'},
```
- Add a controller definition:
```
controller: 'SearchAfterController',
```
- Define a controller with 2 getter methods to return the query and selected scope
```
app.controller('SearchBarAfterController', [function () {
var vm = this;
vm.getSelectdScope = getSelectdScope;
vm.getQuery = getQuery;
function getSelectdScope() {
return vm.parentCtrl.scopeField;
}
function getQuery() {
return vm.parentCtrl.mainSearchField;
}
```
- Edit the directive template to reference the getter methods
``` <div layout="row" layout-align="center center">
<md-card flex="80">
<md-card-title>
<md-card-title-text><span class="md-headline">
This is a demo presenting the ability to display query
information below the search box</span>
<span class="md-subhead">Query: {{$ctrl.getQuery()}}</span>
<span class="md-subhead">Scope: {{$ctrl.getSelectdScope()}}</span>
</md-card-title-text>
<md-card-title-media>
<div class="md-media-sm card-media"></div>
</md-card-title-media>
</md-card-title>
<md-card-actions layout="row" layout-align="end center">
<md-button>Action 1</md-button>
<md-button>Action 2</md-button>
</md-card-actions>
</md-card>
</div>
```
- Save and refresh your browser
# JavaScript Recipe 3 - Adding the Altmetrics Widget
- Use the `showDirectives` scriplet to identify the `prmFullViewAfter` directive which you will plugin to
- Run the following command in your browsers' console tab:
`angular.reloadWithDebugInfo()`
- Focus on the `prmFullViewAfter` directive
- Run the following command in your browsers' console tab:
`angular.element($0).scope().ctrl`
- Review the properties of the directive to decide which data elements can be used, avoid methods/functions as they wont be backwards compatible
- Edit primo-explore/custom/js/custom.js file and add a component declaration for the `prmFullViewAfter` directive
- Add a binding definition the input parentCtrl
`bindings: {parentCtrl: '<'},`
- Add a controller definition:
`controller: 'FullViewAfterController',`
- Define a controller that populates the doi and loads the Altmetrics js file
```app.controller('FullViewAfterController', ['angularLoad', function (angularLoad) {
var vm = this;
vm.doi = vm.parentCtrl.item.pnx.addata.doi[0] || '';
vm.$onInit = function () {
angularLoad.loadScript('https://d1bxh8uas1mnw7.cloudfront.net/assets/embed.js?' + Date.now()).then(function () {
});
};
}]);
```
- Edit the directive template to add the Altmetrics div and bind the data-doi attribure to the controller
```<div class="full-view-section-content" ng-if="$ctrl.doi">
<div class="section-header" layout="row" layout-align="center center">
<h2 class="section-title md-title light-text">
Social Popularity Statistics (AltMetrics) :
</h2>
<md-divider flex>
</md-divider>
</div>
<div class="full-view-section">
<div class="full-view-section-content">
<div class="section-body" layout="row" layout-align="center center">
<div class="spaced-rows" layout="column">
<div ng-if="$ctrl.doi" class="altmetric-embed" data-badge-type="medium-donut" data-badge-details="right" data-doi="{{$ctrl.doi}}">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
