Builder Module

Builder module is a set of Java utilities designed to cover some functionalities:

  • Make easier the developer task of sending actions to the frontend.
  • Allow to define dynamic screens in Java instead of XML files.

Configuración

Add the following dependency into your maven pom.xml file:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.almis.awe</groupId>
<artifactId>awe-builder-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>

And there you go!

Client action builders

Client action builders help the developer in the task of sending specific client actions to the frontend.

screen action builder

This action makes the application to move to another screen.

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new ScreenActionBuilder("another-screen-option").build());

This sample creates a client action which will try to navigate to the option defined as another-screen-option.

redirect action builder

This action makes the application to redirect to another URL.

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new RedirectActionBuilder("http://go.to.another.url").build());

This sample creates a client action which will try to navigate to the URL http://go.to.another.url.

redirect-screen action builder

This action makes the application to redirect a specific screen to another URL.

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new RedirectScreenActionBuilder("specific-screen", "http://go.to.another.url").build());

This sample creates a client action which will try to navigate to the URL http://go.to.another.url if the current screen is specific-screen (useful for dynamic-generated screens).

fill action builder

This action sends a list of data to a component:

Usage:

DataList dataList = new DataList();
// ...
serviceData.addClientAction(new FillActionBuilder("my-grid", dataList).build());

This sample sends dataList to "my-grid" component.

select action builder

This action sends a list of selected values to a component.

Usage:

List<String> values = new ArrayList();
// ...
serviceData.addClientAction(new SelectActionBuilder("my-select", values).build());

Alternate usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new SelectActionBuilder("my-select", value1, value2, ... valueN).build());

This sample sends a list of selected values to "my-select" component.

filter action builder

This action calls a component to reload itself:

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new FilterActionBuilder("my-grid").build());

This sample tells "my-grid" component to reload its data.

update-controller action builder

This action triggers a change of attribute inside a component:

Usage:

// ...
serviceData.addClientAction(new UpdateControllerActionBuilder("my-select", "optional", false).build());

This sample changes the optional attribute on "my-select" component to false.

message action builder

This action allows sending a message to the user. Message type can be one of OK, WARNING, ERROR or INFO.

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new MessageActionBuilder(AnswerType.OK, "message title", "message description").build());

This sample sends a message to the frontend.

dialog action builder

This action opens a modal window in the screen.

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new DialogActionBuilder("my-dialog").build());

This sample opens the modal screen named "my-dialog".

confirm action builder

This action opens a modal window with a button to confirm or cancel action.

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new ConfirmActionBuilder("messageId").build());

This sample opens a modal confirm dialog using the message tag defined as message-id.

An alternate usage of this builder is the following one:

serviceData.addClientAction(new ConfirmActionBuilder("message title", "message description").build());

Instead of using a defined message tag, this action uses the title and description parameter defined on it.

get-file action builder

This action asks a file to be downloaded.

Usage:

FileData fileData = new FileData();
//...
serviceData.addClientAction(new DownloadActionBuilder(fileData).build());

This sample try to download the file defined in the fileData bean.

CSS action builders

add-class action builder

This action search for a CSS class in the screen and if it finds it, adds some CSS classes to the element.

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new AddCssClassActionBuilder(".selector", "class1", "class2", "class3").build());

This sample search for the .selector CSS selector, and adds the "class1", "class2" and "class3" classes into the element if found.

remove-class action builder

This action search for a CSS class in the screen and if it finds it, removes some CSS classes from the element.

Usage:

serviceData.addClientAction(new RemoveCssClassActionBuilder(".selector", "class1", "class2", "class3").build());

Screen builders

This set of builders is designed to generate java-defined screens instead of defining them in XML format.

Screen builder

The screen builder is the main builder in this set. It allows the developer to generate dinamically an XML Screen structure:

ScreenBuilder builder = new ScreenBuilder()
.setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
.addTag(new TagBuilder()
.setSource("buttons")
.setLabel("LABEL")
.setStyle("expand")
.setType("div")
.addChart(new ChartBuilder()
.setStockChart(true)
.setAutoload(true)
.setId("chart1")
.setAutorefresh(5)
.setEnableDataLabels(true)
.setFormatDataLabels("formatDataLabels")
.setIconLoading(IconLoading.CIRCLEBAR)
.setStacking(Stacking.PERCENT)
.setInverted(true)
.setMax(45)
.setTheme("chartTheme")
.setVisible(false)
.setSubtitle("SUBTITLE")
.setChartType(ChartType.BUBBLE)
.setZoomType(ChartAxis.Y_AXIS)
.setChartLegend(new ChartLegendBuilder()
.setChartLayout(ChartLayout.HORIZONTAL)
.setAlign(Align.CENTER)
.setEnabled(true)
.setFloating(true)
.setBorderWidth(2))
.setChartTooltip(new ChartTooltipBuilder()
.setCrosshairs(ChartAxis.ALL)
.setEnabled(true)
.setNumberDecimals(4)
.setPointFormat("pointFormat")
.setPrefix("pre")
.setSuffix("post")
.setDateFormat("yyyymmdd")
.setShared(true))
.addChartParameter(new ChartParameterBuilder()
.setDataType(DataType.DOUBLE)
.setName("parameterName")
.setValue("0.1213"))
.addChartSerieList(new ChartSerieBuilder()
.setDrillDown(true)
.setColor("red")
.setXAxis("xAxis")
.setYAxis("yAxis")
.setXValue("x")
.setYValue("y")
.setZValue("z")
.setDrillDownSerie("drilldownSerie"))
.addContextButton(new ContextButtonBuilder()
.setButtonType(ButtonType.BUTTON)
.setValue("value")
.setIcon("icon")
.setSize("sm")
.setLabel("LABEL"))
.addContextSeparator(new ContextSeparatorBuilder())
.addDependency(new DependencyBuilder()
.setFormule("formule")
.setInitial(true)
.setInvert(true)
.setLabel("LABEL")
.setServerAction(ServerAction.CONTROL)
.setSourceType(SourceType.QUERY)
.setTargetType(TargetType.ATTRIBUTE)
.setType(DependencyType.AND)
.setValue("value")
.addDependencyAction((DependencyActionBuilder) new DependencyActionBuilder()
.setServerAction(ServerAction.GET_SERVER_FILE)
.setTargetAction("TargetAction")
.setTarget("target")
.setAsynchronous(true)
.setContext("context")
.setType(Action.ADD_ROW)
.setSilent(true)
.setValue("value"))
.addDependencyElement(new DependencyElementBuilder()
.setAlias("alias")
.setId("id")
.setCancel(false)
.setView(com.almis.awe.builder.enumerates.View.REPORT)
.setAttribute(Attribute.CURRENT_ROW_VALUE)
.setColumn("column")
.setCondition(Condition.EQUALS)
.setAttribute2(Attribute.EDITABLE)
.setColumn2("column2")
.setEvent(Event.AFTER_ADD_ROW)
.setId2("id2")))
.addAxis(new AxisBuilder()
.setFormatterFunction(FormatterFunction.FORMAT_CURRENCY_MAGNITUDE)
.setType(AxisDataType.CATEGORY))
.addAxis(new AxisBuilder()
.setAllowDecimal(true))
.setChartType(ChartType.BUBBLE)));

Screen screen = builder.build();

This builder has also a method that generates a client action ready to store the newly generated screen in the system and access into it:

ServiceData serviceData = builder
.setMenuType("public")
.buildClientAction(getElements());

This method generates a screen client action in the public menu pointing to the screen generated within the builder.
