gdoenlen / vf-remote

An angular service for SFDC VisualForce that automatically hooks all of your remote actions.

Synopsis

VF Remote is an angular 2 service that will automatically hook all available @RemoteAction methods that are available in your VisualForce Page.

Dependencies

The service is only dependent upon Injectable from the angular 2 package (@angular/core). You just need to make sure you have angular installed.

The only other dependency is that all the files are within the same folder in your project.

Usage

You use this service by providing the window object in your ngModule of your app:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule
  ],
  providers: [
    { provide: 'Window', useValue: window }
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

and then injecting the service where you need it:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { VfRemoteService } from "./path/to/vf-remote.service";

@Component({
    selector: 'example-app',
    templateUrl: './example-app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./example-app.component.css']
})
export class ExampleAppComponent { 
    constructor(private vfRemote: VfRemoteService) {

    }
}

and calling the controller/method by dynamically getting it from the service:

let fn = vfRemote["controller"]["method"]
fn().then(result => { return result }).catch(reason => console.log(reason));

or

using the provided getter methods:

let ctrl: VfRemoteController = vfRemote.getCtrl("Controller");
let fn = vfRemote.getFn("Controller", "method");
