Customer Self-Care Web UI

Development Quick Start for internal developers

Check if internal development server is running
Clone GIT repo ngcp-csc-ui

git clone ssh://hostname:port/ngcp-csc-ui
Install Docker
Install yarn

Run development environment in Docker

This is the preferred way to work with. If you have any problems with Docker, you can fallback to the method described in the next chapter.

yarn run dev:docker dev-web-trunk.mgm.sipwise.com

Run development environment in your system of choice

yarn run config dev-web-trunk.mgm.sipwise.com
yarn run dev

Technology

Vue.js and Quasar

After a test phase with Sencha Ext JS we decided to use Vue.js in combination with the Quasar Framework.

Developers basics

We highly recommend the following courses to understand the principles and ultimately the code:

In addition, we also recommend the following Quasar Framework tutorials:

Reusable Vue.js Components

Add a new page

In order to add a new page you need to go along the following steps:

Create a new page component using the following naming pattern

src/pages/CscPageNewFeature.vue
Create a route and add it to the route file

src/router/routes.js

{
    path: '/user/new-feature',
    component: CscPageNewFeature,
    meta: {
        title: i18n.t('pages.newFeature.title'),
        subtitle: i18n.t('navigation.newFeature.subTitle')
    }
}

Add new feature to the main menu

src/components/CscMainMenuTop.vue

{
    to: '/user/new-feature',
    icon: 'fancy_icon',
    label: this.$t('navigation.newFeature.title'),
    sublabel: this.$t('navigation.newFeature.subTitle'),
    visible: true
}

Dialogs

The basic dialog component is src/components/CscDialog.vue.

How to create a new custom dialog

Check the example implementation in src/components/CscDialogChangePassword.vue.

How to call custom dialogs from within a Vue.js Component method

To reduce the boilerplate code of dialog components, we call Dialogs via Quasar Dialog Plugin.

this.$q.dialog({
    component: CscDialogChangePassword,
    parent: this
}).onOk((password) => {
    this.changeWebPassword(password)
})

NGCP API

All API functions are located in src/api. The file src/api/common.js exports basic convenient functions to perform API requests.

Check API Documentation for further details.

Authentication

The standard authentication method to access the API from the browser is the JSON Web Token (JWT) which is specified in RFC7519

After the login request, the JWT is stored in the LocalStorage and is added automatically on each API request.

Fetch a list of items

const list = await getList({
    resource: 'subscribers'
})
list.items.forEach(subscriber => {
    console.log(subscriber.webusername)
})

Fetch a paginated list of items

const list = await getList({
    resource: 'subscribers',
    page: 1,
    rows: 25
})
console.log(list.lastPage)

Fetch a single item

const subscriber = await get({
    resource: 'subscribers',
    resourceId: 21
})
console.log(subscriber.webusername)

Create a new item

If you use post, you create the item and get back the sanitised data. The method postMinimal does exactly the same, except that the body is empty.

const subscriber = await post({
    resource: 'subscribers',
    body: {
        webusername: 'alice',
        ...
    }
})
console.log(subscriber.webusername)

await postMinimal({
    resource: 'subscribers',
    body: {
        webusername: 'alice',
        ...
    }
})

Update an existing item

This method helps to update an entire item at once.

const subscriber = await put({
    resource: 'subscribers',
    resourceId: 21,
    body: {
        webusername: 'bob',
        ...
    }
})
console.log(subscriber.webusername)

await putMinimal({
    resource: 'subscribers',
    resourceId: 21,
    body: {
        webusername: 'bob',
        ...
    }
})

Update a specific field on an existing item

This is the preferred method to update single fields on an item.

await patchReplace({
    resource: 'subscribers',
    resourceId: 21,
    fieldPath: 'webusername',
    value: 'carol'
})

const subscriber = await patchReplaceFull({
    resource: 'subscribers',
    resourceId: 21,
    fieldPath: 'webusername',
    value: 'dave'
})
console.log(subscriber.webusername)
