Running

Create an .env file in the project root folder with the following content

BASE_URL="<URL>"

Where <URL> is the address of the ACS.

Run the following commands:

npm install
npm start

Unit Tests

Use following command to test the projects:

nx test <project>

Code Coverage

The projects are already configured to produce code coverage reports in console and HTML output.

You can view HTML reports in the ./coverage/<project> folder.

When working with unit testing and code coverage improvement, you can run unit tests in the "live reload" mode:

nx test <project> -- --watch

Upon changing unit tests code, you can track the coverage results either in the console output, or by reloading the HTML report in the browser.

alfresco-content-app's Issues

Special characters in navBar item routes (extension.json) break the item link

[ ] Regression (a behavior that used to work and stopped working in a new release)
[x] Bug report  
[ ] Feature request
[ ] Documentation issue or request
[ ] Support request => Please do not submit support request here, instead see https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#question

Current behavior

Adding a route for navBar items in an extension.json file with special characters will result in an encoded url, and thus a broken link.

Expected behavior

The url defined in the 'route' property of the extension.json file should also work with query parameters.

Either the elements of the route string from the json file should get parsed and passed in the correct way in the sideNav component (as queryParams/fragments), or the extension.schema.json should add the ability to define queryParams for a route. (=> this will probably have an impact on https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ACA-215)

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

In an extension.json file, define a route with special characters.

"navbar": [
      {
        "id": "app.navbar.primary",
        "items": [
          {
            "id": "app.navbar.testLink",
            "order": 100,
            "icon": "extension",
            "title": "Test link",
            "description": "Test link",
            "route": "search;q=test"
          }
       ]
      }
     ]

In the Content App, click on the link. The special characters in the url will get encoded and lead to a broken link.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

We need to store links to specific searches, which include query parameters.

Menu item showing as "Favorite" for already favorited items

Describe the bug
When we select the file and click on Favorite in the context menu. Then when you right click , you still see the "Favorite" option in the context menu. Ideally we should see the "UnFavorite" option
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a document / folder
2. Click on the document / folder
3. Select "Favorite" option
4. The document / folder will be set as favorite.
5. Click on the document again and you still see the favorite option. Ideally we should see the "Unfavorite" option here. Currently it does un favorite but this is confusing to the users as there is no other way they know whether the file got already favorited or not

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Ideally it should show unfavorite option. Also if we can have some symbol on the file which shows the file is favorited. Currently there is no way user knows whether file got favorited or not.

Current behavior

Though the ADF 2.5 has a dropdown list component in Metadata card/Info drawer components, but it doesn't pick values from custom property in ACS, which is configured with List of Values constraint.

Expected behavior

Info Drawer / ADF 2.5 list box component should be able to fetch list of values from ACS custom property and possibly allow users to even add New Values, which can update List of values in ACS content model.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Alfresco Share metadata form automatically shows the list of values configured in custom property. ADF / ACS Content App should behave the same way.

[x] Feature request
[ ] Documentation issue or request
[ ] Support request => Please do not submit support request here, instead see https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#question

Current behavior

At the moment, the extension mechanism enables the defining of navbar items in an extension.json file. This is static configuration.

Expected behavior

It would be useful to allow items/links to be added dynamically (e.g. 'pinning' pages/items to the sidenav).

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Example: We want to enable end-users to save their search results as links in the sidenav. So when they are on a search results page, they could press a 'save search' button or similar, and the page link would appear in the sidenav. (Perhaps each user could have their own extension.json file, which is dynamically updated by a service?)

Discovery Product info are not available from Rule Context

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is not possible at the moment perform some rule evaluation based on the modules installed on the content applications.

Describe the solution you'd like
Rule context should provide the discovery information retrieved from the discovery api. In this way it will be simple to perform the needed check

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Sidemenu can't be closed on certain devices

Describe the bug
When using a smartphone device with a small screen, for example the iPhone 5 SE you can't close the sidemenu, since it is taking the full screen space. You can only close it by going back (in the browser at least) or by choosing a menu item.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Login
2. Open side menu
3. Can't be closed

Expected behavior
Side menu should be closeable on all resolutions. On bigger screens there is the background of the main content, where you can click to close it.

Maybe introduce a close icon/ button, which does exactly that.

[ ] Feature request
[ ] Documentation issue or request
[ ] Support request => Please do not submit support request here, instead see https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#question

Current behavior

When I make an extension and add an "import { AlfrescoApiService } from '@alfresco/adf-core’;” in my component, I get a compile error complaining about the absence of WebKitFileEntry type used by "node_modules/@alfresco/adf-core/utils/file-utils.d.ts”.

Looking at documentation in https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-wiki/blob/master/Breaking-Changes.md, I see this WebKitFileEntry type has been removed in typescript 3.1. Since the OOTB package.json uses typescript version 3.1.6, I think the file-utils.d.ts file should not reference the type.

When I downgraded the angular version from 7.1.1 to 6.1.10 and the typescript version from 3.1.6 to 2.9.2, my extension with the adf-core import builds without any issues.

I get the following exception without updating the angular and typescript versions:

Expected behavior

adding "import { AlfrescoApiService } from '@alfresco/adf-core’;” in my extension and running a build should not throw the WebKitFileEntry type

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

1. clone the current ACA 1.6.0 app
2. follow the steps in https://aca-dev-docs.netlify.com/#/extending/redistributable-libraries to create a extension
3. Add the following lines

• Import adf-core import { AlfrescoApiService } from '@alfresco/adf-core';
• Update the constructor constructor(alfApiService: AlfrescoApiService) { }

4. Run command "npm run build:my-extension"

I want to use the AlfrescoApiService in my extension.

Application SDK library project

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Extension libraries cannot have Application as a dependency, and there is no way to reuse common/shared application components from within external libraries.

For example, an extension cannot inherit PageComponent to build a DocumentList-friendly page,
all NgRx types and effects are not accessible too (though can be invoked in a generic/untyped way).

Describe the solution you'd like

• Move reusable extensibility content to the ADF level
• Create a separate Application SDK library project that contains a shared/reusable content from the application (reusable content that makes sense only within ACA/ADW)
• Allow Application and Extensions reference it to solve circular dependency issues.
• Publish SDK library to NPM to allow better upgrades and simplify Digital Workspace integration

Describe alternatives you've considered

Note that all cross-project content will be moved to the ADF level. This feature request is about ACA-specific implementations.

Additional context

Things to move to an application SDK level in the first iteration:

• NgRx: actions, effects, selectors
• Components and UI building blocks: PageComponent, etc
• Extensibility: app-specific rules, evaluators, interfaces

Need better zero state for login page when repo has not started

I'm working on a blog post about getting this app up and running very quickly (adding the gui81/alfresco docker image to the docker-compose.yaml file and updating the nginx config to do the reverse proxying.) What I have noticed is this apps obviously starts way faster than the repo. If I navigate to this app it loads with a a blank page. Once the repo starts I get a basic auth login dialog. If I cancel that, the page loads properly. Would be great if there was some sort of progress/zero-state that indicated that we were attempting to reach out to the servers...

Module/extension mechanism

I believe that there has been some work to create a module system where we can create an Alfresco Content App (ACA) customization artifact and drop it into a location in the OOTB app without extending the code of the ACA. It would be great to have some discussion about the approach(es).

There are a few higher level goals here:

• Provide a way for implementors to create re-usable enhancements to ACA that can be composed when creating a solution.
  • e.g. I want to add AOS and Case Management
• Provide a way for implementors to create enhancements that are likely to be upgrade safe

Following is an initial list of highly desirable features of such a system (in my opinion):

• It should be possible to add page components to the router via configuration
  • It should be possible to configure that certain custom pages show up in the toolbar
  • It should be possible to configure that certain custom pages don't show up in the toolbar (if they are contextual.)
• It should be possible to add buttons to the main toolbar
• It should be possible to configure actions for the "New" menu
• It should be possible to configure actions for the User menu (far right of toolbar)
• It should be possible to add document list actions (and associated logic for when to display/enable the same) via configuration
  • Ideally it should be possible to affect the ordering of these actions via configuration
  • Ideally it should be easy to add an action to route to a custom page
  • Ideally it should be easy to route to another ADF app; passing context, credentials and a back link (I will create an ADF issue for this.)
  • Ideally one action can be configured as the default in certain conditions (i.e. don't go to preview, instead route to another application when a document is activated.)
• It should be possible to configure custom result columns
  • Ideally it should be possible to configure different columns depending on context. e.g. under contracts I want to show one set of columns, under finance a different set of columns should be displayed
• It should be possible to configure custom cell content renderers
• It should be possible to configure flag providers
• Once search is fleshed out it should be possible to configure advanced search providers
  • It should be possible to configure the zero state when a search returns zero results
• It should be possible to configure additional "smart folders" like "My Favorites", "Shared Documents" etc.
  • Ideally it should be possible to affect the ordering of these via configuration
• It should be possible to configure preview components
• It should be possible to configure metadata forms (create, edit, view at least)
• It should be possible to configure custom field renderers fro metadata forms.
• It should be possible to configure Open With menu items
• It should be possible to configure "More Options" items
• Would be great to allow us to configure components to trigger during the upload process
  • Some might be passive (once upload completes perform some API calls against the uploaded docs)
  • Some might be active, gather metadata before or after the upload
• It should be possible to configure left and right trays based on contextual information/logic
• Ideally "modules" can interact with each other. As such, having some control over load order of modules may be important.

As an overarching goal there should be a single config file in ACA and one in each "module" that plugs the module into the ACA. i.e. don't make devs sift through many different configuration files. Ideally configuration merging/replacement strategies will be well documented and easy to determine the effective configuration once all modules have been deployed.

I'm sure other folks will have additional ideas, I hope this is a reasonable starting point.

Dynamic icons based on rules

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is not possible to change the icon based on some conditions.
For example, rendering a different icon based on metadata, or mime type.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Provide support for the icon rules/evaluators.
• Provide support for string-based evaluators

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives so far.

Additional context

Possible format example:

{
  "id": "some.id",
   "icon": "default-icon",
   "rules": {
      "enabled": "some.boolean.rule",
      "icon": "some.string.rule"
    }
}

In the example above, the default-icon is what used initially if no rules provided, and some.string.rule rule/evaluator provides an icon value based on runtime context.

Version compatibility matrix

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is not clear what versions of ACS/APS does a particular version of ACA support.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide compatibility matrix similar to the one of ADF: example

                "aspect": "test:TestDocument",
                "properties": [
                  "test:documentType",
                  "test:access",
                  "test:eligibility"
                ]
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]

Then the custom properties is getting displayed when we navigate to "My Libraries" and click on "i" icon.

But when we navigate to recent files and click on "i" icon, the custom group is not displayed in the side panel.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Recent Files Navigation
2. Select the document
3. Click on "i" icon on top right corner.
4. You don't see customized metadata group.

Expected behavior
It should display the configured custom metadata.

Disable login redirect for Kerberos(withCredentials)

If content services is configured with Kerberos, we don't need to redirect user to login / logout screens. All the apis are automatically authenticated with kerberos using "withCredentials". So in this case we need to modify the default auth guard to achieve this. Provide this with some kind of configuration

Current behavior

Currently even we enable "withCredentials" we have to override auth guard for the user to navigate to the app without login page.

Expected behavior

If we enable "withCredentials" user has to be redirected directly to the application as he doesn't need to login manually to the app.

Missing image when changing using customized "base-href"

At least Alfresco logo is missed when using customized "base-ref".

For instance:

"start": "npm run server-versions && ng serve --open --base-href \"/mysubfolder/\""

withCredentials Kerberos - Preview and User Info not working

Type of issue: (check with "[x]")

• New feature request
• [X ] Bug
• Support request
• Documentation

We are testing the kerberos authentication through ADF. We have taken the latest alfresco-js-api from develop which has changes related to "withCredentials". We have hard coded that value to "true" in local and build the content app pointing to the latest alfresco-js-api.

Authentication looks working fine but found couple of issues

1. Document preview doesn't work as document preview delegates http call to pdfJs library which does not consider the "withCredentials" setting. So authentication is failing for CORS requests.
   https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components/blob/development/lib/core/viewer/components/pdfViewer.component.ts#L134

2. The current logged in user name and the icon on the tool bar top right corner is not getting displayed. When we upload the content it identifies the user but not getting displayed on the UI toolbar.
   Expected behavior:
   The above two issues should be working as expected even with Kerberos

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Have the alfresco server with CORS enabled and kerberos setup
2. Run the alfresco content app with latest alfresco-js-api from develop branch
3. Observe on the home page user info not displayed on the top right corner on the toolbar.
4. Click on word document and it fails to preview

Slashes not escaped when searching

Type of issue: (check with "[x]")

• New feature request
• Bug
• Support request
• Documentation

Current behaviour:
I have a folde with following name: "myFolder 1/18" containing a slash "/".

When I search for it, the quick search shows the correct results. Once I hit enter and go to the search page I will receive an error, since the slashes are not escaped and the Angular Routing understands them as part of the URL.

When I search for it using the alfresco

Expected behavior:
I should be able to search with a string containing a slash.

Component name and version:
It's inside the search.effect.ts :

alfresco-content-app/src/app/store/effects/search.effects.ts

Line 40 in dc9a314

this.router.navigateByUrl('/search;q=' + action.payload);

Back button in preview misbehaves if link is copied and pasted into new tab

I login to the app and navigate to the preview for a file.
I copy the link.
I paste the link into a new tab.
I click the back button in the app toolbar in the new tab.

Expected result:
I go back to the folder containing the document

Actual result:
I browse back to my browsers tab zero-state page

Use case:
As a user of the app I want to share a document with someone. I go into the preview and copy the link, I share this link with a friend. They open the preview and wonder about related content in the same folder so they click the back button. They expect to go back to the containing folder.

An alternative would be to not show the back button in this case. However, I think there is a lot of value in it being there and behaving as described.

Responsiveness in General

Current behaviour
Using the Content-App and the ADF Components I noticed there are many things not responsive. I have collected some things, using an iPhone 5 screen, since it's one of the smallest screen(even though the issues I have found also occur with bigger phones).

Keep in mind, these are just my findings, there may be more issues with other components. Maybe a full test round needs to happen, and also maybe integrate some kind of automatic test / Pull request requirement to ensure new developments won't break responsiveness.

The problem is, as a developer you currently need custom CSS fixes, which can break with the next releases, so it would be better to have them inside the ADF/Content-App code.

Here is the corresponding ADF issue: Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components#4298

Toolbar

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H-O51SvUphsKGeU1ucTPO49KhPNH7m1r

As you can see in the screenshot, the searchbar presses the UserInfoComponent to the right side and it gets cut off.

Search Results

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kSbrtnao0TYWV30kurVjFI07HXRQ_oqE

The filter is visible but not the search results themselves. Maybe a floating action button for toggling the filter would be solution.

Empty Info

https://drive.google.com/open?id=15RCI8NsjB26ib5aQKgbHz7rq1NLOw4P7

The message for when a user is inside an empty folder or similar gets cut by the screen.

Breadcrumbs

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H-O51SvUphsKGeU1ucTPO49KhPNH7m1r

Breadcrumbs become useless at a certain resolution and with a node selected. in the Screenshot you can see there are only dots left from the text-ellipsis. Maybe move it it's own bar or at the bottom.

Generic Viewer route to invoke file preview

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a generic "/viewer/" route that allows extensions invoking file preview.

Edit in Office: File is not getting unlocked after closing the word document

Describe the bug
When User selects "Edit in Microsoft Office" system opens the word document. In ACA we can see the document got locked. But when user closes the word document, the document is not getting unlocked. It remains locked. This works fine from Alfresco share.
Document remains locked even though user closed the word document.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a word document
2. Click on "Edit in Microsoft Office"
3. Modify the word document and you can see the changes reflected in ADF by refreshing
4. Once user closes the document, the document remains locked. Ideally it should unlock through aos calls. This works currently in Alfresco share.

Support document list reload via NgRx actions

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is not possible for an extension to trigger active document list reload if underlying data has changed.
There are many feature-specific events/subjects that allow reloading data upon folder/library/favorite CRUD operations, but no NgRx actions to support generic reload events.

Describe the solution you'd like

Provide an NgRx action to reload active document list component.
In this case any extension can reload the data once needed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Emitting other events like "folderEdited" to cause the reload, but most of them have side effects

Generic Preview Component

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are trying to build new navigational item. It will look like other navigational items (recent-files, shared, favorites,..) but with different search criteria. For this we have to use many existing components in ACA like PageComponent, PreviewComponent. So we have to write these new custom components in ACA instead of extensions library. We need to modularize all these components so that we can use them in extension libraries.
Describe the solution you'd like
We need to keep all reusable modules to be moved as separate libraries so that we can reuse them in extension libraries.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context
Document list with all the features is the common feature we use to develop new components. Its ideal all the preview/ page components / and any other components related to this will be part of separate library to reuse in the custom extensions library.

The Share Link dialog has unfriendly "copy" button.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When sharing a file, it's difficult to understand that the "link" icon is, in fact, a "copy url" button.

Describe the solution you'd like
Use traditional copy icon instead of the "link" icon to give users a clue that URL can be copied.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Impossible to define relative routes in navbar configuration

Describe the bug
When including a route/path for a sidenav item, it automatically gets changed into an absolute route/path. It seems the extension service adds a slash in front of every route defined in the extension jsons. Seems like a responsibility for the developer to add this slash in the json if that's what they want.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In the navbar configuration of app.extension.json (or your own custom extension json), define a NavBarLinkRef with a relative route (e.g. './details').
2. In the app, click on the link.
3. Instead of '/details' being added to the current url, it is transformed to an absolute path and you'll land on the error page.

Expected behavior
When defining a relative path, I would expect it to behave as a relative path.
