Content Node Selector component

Allows a user to select items from a Content Services repository.

Basic Usage

import { MatDialog } from '@angular/material';
 ...

constructor(dialog: MatDialog ... ) {}

openSelectorDialog() {
    data: ContentNodeSelectorComponentData = {
        title: "Choose an item",
        currentFolderId: someFolderId,
        select: new EventEmitter<MinimalNodeEntryEntity[]>()
    };

    this.dialog.open(
        ContentNodeSelectorComponent,
        {
            data, panelClass: 'adf-content-node-selector-dialog',
            width: '630px'
        }
    );

    data.select.subscribe((selections: MinimalNodeEntryEntity[]) => {
        // Use or store selection...

        this.dialog.closeAll();
    });
}

Details

The Content Node Selector component works a lot like the standard File Open/Save dialog used by desktop applications except that it chooses items from a Content Services repository rather than the filesystem. For example, the Document List component uses a selector to choose the targets of Copy/Move actions (see the Content Action component for more information).

Unlike most components, the Content Node Selector is typically shown in a dialog box rather than the main page. You can use the Angular Material Dialog for this, as shown in the usage example. ADF provides the ContentNodeSelectorComponentData interface to work with the Dialog's data option:

interface ContentNodeSelectorComponentData {
    title: string;
    currentFolderId?: string;
    rowFilter?: RowFilter;
    imageResolver?: ImageResolver;
    select: EventEmitter<MinimalNodeEntryEntity[]>;
}

RowFilter and ImageResolver

The Content Node Selector uses a Document List to display the items that the user can choose. As with the standard Document List, you can supply a custom row filter function (to hide items that can't be chosen) and a custom image resolver function (to select an image to show in a particular list cell). For example, you could use a row filter to hide document nodes in a folder selector. See the Advanced Usage and Customization section of the Document List page to learn how these functions are implemented.
