## Form Extensibility for APA Form Widget
|
||||
This page describes how you can customize ADF forms to your own specification.
|
||||
|
||||

## Replace default form widgets with APA form widgets
|
||||
|
||||
This is an example of replacing the standard `Text` [widget](../../lib/testing/src/lib/core/pages/form/widgets/widget.ts) with a custom component for all APA forms rendered within the `<adf-form>` component.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a simple form with some `Text` widgets:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Every custom widget component must inherit the [`WidgetComponent`](../insights/components/widget.component.md) class in order to function properly:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { WidgetComponent } from '@alfresco/adf-core';
|
||||
@Component({
|
||||
selector: 'custom-editor',
|
||||
template: `
|
||||
<div style="color: red">Look, I'm a APA custom editor!</div>
|
||||
`
|
||||
})
|
||||
export class CustomEditorComponent extends WidgetComponent {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Add it to the application module or any custom module that is imported into the application one:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { CustomEditorComponent } from './custom-editor.component';
|
||||
@NgModule({
|
||||
declarations: [ CustomEditorComponent ],
|
||||
exports: [ CustomEditorComponent ]
|
||||
})
|
||||
export class CustomEditorsModule {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Every custom widget component should be added into the the collections `declarations` and `exports`. If you decided to store custom widgets in a separate dedicated module (and optionally as a separate re-distributable library) don't forget to import it into the main application:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
@NgModule({
|
||||
imports: [
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
CustomEditorsModule
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
],
|
||||
providers: [],
|
||||
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
|
||||
})
|
||||
export class AppModule {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Import the [`FormRenderingService`](../core/services/form-rendering.service.md) into any of your Views and override the default mapping, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { CustomEditorComponent } from './custom-editor.component';
|
||||
@Component({...})
|
||||
export class MyView {
|
||||
constructor(formRenderingService: FormRenderingService) {
|
||||
this.formRenderingService.register({
|
||||
'text': () => CustomEditorComponent
|
||||
}, true);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. At runtime the form should look similar to the following:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Replace custom form widgets with custom components
|
||||
|
||||
This is an example of rendering custom form widgets using custom Angular components.
|
||||
|
||||
### Create a custom form widget
|
||||
|
||||
To begin, create a basic form widget and call it `demo-widget`:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: The `type` is important as it will become the `field type` when the form is rendered.
|
||||
|
||||
You can now design a form that uses your custom form widget:
|
||||
|
||||

||||
### Create a custom widget
|
||||
|
||||
When displayed in a task, the field will look similar to the following:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To render the missing content:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create an Angular component:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { WidgetComponent } from '@alfresco/adf-core';
|
||||
@Component({
|
||||
selector: 'app-demo-widget',
|
||||
template: `<div style="color: green">ADF version of custom form widget</div>`
|
||||
})
|
||||
export class DemoWidgetComponent extends WidgetComponent {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Place it inside the custom module:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { DemoWidgetComponent } from './demo-widget.component';
|
||||
@NgModule({
|
||||
declarations: [ DemoWidgetComponent ],
|
||||
exports: [ DemoWidgetComponent ]
|
||||
})
|
||||
export class CustomWidgetsModule {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Import it into your Application Module:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
@NgModule({
|
||||
imports: [
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
CustomWidgetsModule
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
],
|
||||
providers: [],
|
||||
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
|
||||
})
|
||||
export class AppModule {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Import the [`FormRenderingService`](../core/services/form-rendering.service.md) in any of your Views and provide the new mapping:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { DemoWidgetComponent } from './demo-widget.component';
|
||||
@Component({...})
|
||||
export class MyView {
|
||||
constructor(formRenderingService: FormRenderingService) {
|
||||
this.formRenderingService.register({
|
||||
'custom-editor': () => DemoWidgetComponent
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
At runtime you should now see your custom Angular component rendered in place of the original form widgets:
|
||||
|
||||
