Page Injections

In addition to ability to create custom pages and overwrite how fields are rendered, you can also inject custom components in standard AdminForth page.

For example let's add a custom pie chart to the list page of the aparts resource. Pie chart will show the distribution of the rooms count and more over will allow to filter the list by the rooms count.

./resources/apartments.ts
{
  resourceId: 'aparts',
  ...
  options: {
    pageInjections: {
      list: {
        afterBreadcrumbs: '@@/ApartsPie.vue',
      }
    }   
  }
}

Now create file ApartsPie.vue in the custom folder of your project:

./custom/ApartsPie.vue
<template>
  <div class="max-w-sm w-full bg-white rounded-lg shadow dark:bg-gray-800 p-4 md:p-4 mb-5">
    <div id="pie-chart"></div>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { onMounted, ref, Ref } from 'vue';
import ApexCharts from 'apexcharts';
import { callApi } from '@/utils';


const data: Ref<any[]> = ref([]);

const POSSIBLE_COLORS = ["#1C64F2", "#16BDCA", "#9061F9", "#F0A936", "#F55252", "#3B82F6", "#10B981", "#F472B6", "#6B7280"];

const chatOptions = {
  series: [],
  colors: POSSIBLE_COLORS,
  chart: {
    height: 200,
    width: "100%",
    type: "pie",
    events: {
      dataPointSelection: function (event, chartContext, config) {
        if (config.selectedDataPoints[0].length) {
          const selectedRoomsCount = data.value[config.dataPointIndex].rooms;
          window.adminforth.list.updateFilter({field: 'number_of_rooms', operator: 'eq', value: selectedRoomsCount});
        } else {
          // clear filter
          window.adminforth.list.updateFilter({field: 'number_of_rooms', value: undefined});
        }
      }
    },
  },

  stroke: {
    colors: ["white"],
    lineCap: "",
  },
  plotOptions: {
    pie: {
      labels: {
        show: true,
      },
      size: "100%",
      dataLabels: {
        offset: -25
      }
    },
  },
  labels: ["Direct", "Organic search", "Referrals"],
  dataLabels: {
    enabled: true,
    style: {
      fontFamily: "Inter, sans-serif",
    },
  },
  legend: {
    position: "right",
    fontFamily: "Inter, sans-serif",
  },
  yaxis: {
    labels: {
      formatter: function (value) {
        return value + "%"
      },
    },
  },
  xaxis: {
    labels: {
      formatter: function (value) {
        return value  + "%"
      },
    },
    axisTicks: {
      show: false,
    },
    axisBorder: {
      show: false,
    },
  }, 
}

onMounted(async () => {
  try {
    data.value = await callApi({path: '/api/aparts-by-room-percentages', method: 'GET'});
  } catch (error) {
    window.adminforth.alert({
      message: `Error fetching data: ${error.message}`,
      variant: 'danger',
      timeout: 'unlimited'
    });
    return;
  }

  chatOptions.series = data.value.map((item) => item.percentage);
  chatOptions.labels = data.value.map((item) => `${item.rooms} rooms`);
  const chart = new ApexCharts(document.getElementById("pie-chart"), chatOptions);
  chart.render();

})

</script>

Then initialize npm in custom directory if you didn't do this and install required packages:

npm init -y
npm install apexcharts --save-dev

Also we have to add an Api to get percentages:

./index.ts
  app.get(`${ADMIN_BASE_URL}/api/aparts-by-room-percentages/`,
    admin.express.authorize(
      async (req, res) => {
        const roomPercentages = await admin.resource('aparts').dataConnector.db.prepare(
          `SELECT 
            number_of_rooms, 
            COUNT(*) as count 
          FROM apartments 
          GROUP BY number_of_rooms
          ORDER BY number_of_rooms;
          `
        ).all()
        

        const totalAparts = roomPercentages.reduce((acc, { count }) => acc + count, 0);

        res.json(
          roomPercentages.map(
            ({ number_of_rooms, count }) => ({
              rooms: number_of_rooms,
              percentage: Math.round(count / totalAparts * 100),
            })
          )
        );
      }
    )
  );

  // serve after you added all api
  admin.discoverDatabases();
  admin.express.serve(app)

☝️ Please note that we are using Frontend API window.adminforth.list.updateFilter({field: 'number_of_rooms', operator: 'eq', value: selectedRoomsCount}); to set filter when we are located on apartments list page

Here is how it looks: alt text

You can also inject custom components to the login page.

loginPageInjections.underInputs allows to add one or more panels under the login form inputs:

For example:

/index.ts

new AdminForth({
  ...
  customization: {
    loginPageInjections: {
      underInputs: '@@/CustomLoginFooter.vue',
    }
    ...
  }

  ...
})

Now create file CustomLoginFooter.vue in the custom folder of your project:

./custom/CustomLoginFooter.vue
<template>
  <div class="text-center text-gray-500 text-sm mt-4">
    By logging in, you agree to our <a href="#" class="text-blue-500">Terms of Service</a> and <a href="#" class="text-blue-500">Privacy Policy</a>
  </div>
</template>

List view page injections shrinking: thin enough to shrink?

When none of bottom, beforeBreadcrumbs, afterBreadcrumbs, injections are set in list table, the table tries to shrink into viewport for better UX. In other words, in this default mode it moves scroll from body to the table itself:

alt text

However if one of the above injections is set, the table will not try to shrink it's height into viewport and will have a fixed height. We apply this behavior because generally page injection might take a lot of height and table risks to be too small to be usable. So vertical scroll is moved to the body (horizontal scroll is still on the table):

alt text

However, if you intend to use injection as a small panel, you can set meta.thinEnoughToShrinkTable to true in the injection instantiation:

/apartments.ts
{
  resourceId: 'aparts',
  ...
  options: {
    pageInjections: {
      list: {
        bottom: {
          file: '@@/BottomPanel.vue',
          meta: {
            thinEnoughToShrinkTable: true,
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

alt text

If at least one injection will not set or will not define meta.thinEnoughToShrinkTable as true, the table will not try to shrink into viewport.

You can also inject custom components to the three dots menu on the top right corner of the page.

alt text

/apartments.ts
{
  resourceId: 'aparts',
  ...
  options: {
    pageInjections: {
      show: {
          threeDotsDropdownItems: [
            '@@/CheckReadingTime.vue',
          ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Now create file CheckReadingTime.vue in the custom folder of your project:

./custom/CheckReadingTime.vue
<template>
  <div class="text-gray-500 text-sm">
    <div @click="checkReadingTime" class="cursor-pointer flex gap-2 items-center">
      Check reading time
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { getReadingTime} from "text-analyzer";

function checkReadingTime() {
  const text = document.querySelector('[data-af-column="description"]')?.innerText;
  if (text) {
    const readingTime = getReadingTime(text);
    window.adminforth.alert({
      message: `Reading time: ${readingTime.minutes} minutes`,
      variant: 'success',
    });
  }
  window.adminforth.list.closeThreeDotsDropdown();
}
</script>

For this demo we will use text-analyzer package:

cd custom
npm init -y
npm install text-analyzer --save

☝️ Please note that we are using AdminForth Frontend API window.adminforth.list.closeThreeDotsDropdown(); to close the dropdown after the item is clicked.

List table custom action icons

customActionIcons allows to add custom actions to the list page

alt text

/apartments.ts
{
  resourceId: 'aparts',
  ...
  options: {
    pageInjections: {
      list: {
          customActionIcons: [
            '@@/SearchForApartmentInGoogle.vue',
          ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Now create file SearchForApartmentInGoogle.vue in the custom folder of your project:

./custom/SearchForApartmentInGoogle.vue
<template>
    <AfTooltip>
        <a :href="`https://google.com?q=${record.title}`">
            <IconCardSearch class="w-5 h-5 me-2"/>
        </a>

        <template #tooltip>
            Search for competitive apartments in Google
        </template>
    </AfTooltip>
</template>

<script setup>
import { IconCardSearch } from '@iconify-prerendered/vue-mdi';
import AfTooltip from '@/components/AfTooltip.vue';

const props = defineProps(['column', 'record', 'meta', 'resource', 'adminUser']);
</script>

Install used icon:

cd custom
npm i @iconify-prerendered/vue-mdi

Global Injections

You have opportunity to inject custom components to the global layout. For example, you can add a custom items into user menu

config.customization.globalInjections.userMenu:

alt text

use window.adminforth.closeUserMenuDropdown(); to close the dropdown after the item is clicked.

/index.ts
{
  ...
  customization: {
    globalInjections: {
      userMenu: [
        '@@/CustomUserMenuItem.vue',
      ]
    }
  }
  ...
}

Now create file CustomUserMenuItem.vue in the custom folder of your project:

./custom/CustomUserMenuItem.vue
<template>
  <div @click="openCustomPage" class="cursor-pointer flex px-4 py-2 text-sm flex items-center">
    Custom Page
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
function openCustomPage() {
  window.adminforth.alert({
    message: 'Custom page is opened',
    variant: 'success',
  });
  window.adminforth.closeUserMenuDropdown();
}
</script>

Also there are:

config.customization.globalInjections.header
config.customization.globalInjections.sidebar
