DEVELOPER CORNER

To add a new parameter, you have to:

declare it in Manager/Build/Attributes.pm;

declare its position in the tree in Manager/Build/Tree.pm (or Manager/Build/CTrees.pm for complex nodes);

refresh files by using this (or launch any build makefile target at the root of the Lemonldap::NG project sources).

See below for details.

Files generated

`scripts/jsongenerator.pl` file uses Lemonldap::NG::Manager::Build::Attributes, Lemonldap::NG::Manager::Build::Tree and Lemonldap::NG::Manager::Build::CTrees to generate

`site/htdocs/static/struct.json`:

Main file containing the tree view;

`site/htdocs/static/js/conftree.js`:

generates Virtualhosts, SAML and OpenID-Connect partners sub-trees;

`site/htdocs/static/reverseTree.json`:

map used by manager diff to find attribute position in the tree;

`Lemonldap::NG::Manager::Constants`:

constants used by all Perl manager components;

`Lemonldap::NG::Common::Conf::DefaultValues`:

constants used to read configuration;

`Lemonldap::NG::Manager::Attributes`:

parameters attributes used by the manager during configuration upload;

lmConf-1.json:

first configuration in file format;

Attribute declaration

set your new attribute as a key of attributes() function that points to a hash ref containing:

type (required):

content type must be declared in sub types() in the same file (except if attribute embeds its own tests) and must match to a form stored in static/forms/ directory;

help (optional):

Relative HTML path to help page (relative to /doc/pages/documentation/<version>/);

default (recommended):

default value to set if not defined;

select (optional):

required only if type is `select`. In this case, it must contain an array of { k => <keyName>, v => <display name> } hashref

documentation (recommended):

some words for other developers

test (optional):

if test is not defined for this type or if test must be more restrictive, set here a regular expression or a subroutine. Arguments passed to subroutine are (keyValue, newConf, currentKey). It returns 2 arguments: a boolean result and a message (if non empty message will be displayed as warning or error depending of result);

msgFail (optional):

for regexp based tests, message to display in case of error. Words to translate have to be written as so: __toTranslate__;

keyTest (optional):

for keys/values attributes, test to be applied on key;

keyMsgFail (optional):

for regexp based key tests, same as msgFail for keys test;

If you want to declare a new type, you have to declare following properties:

test, msgFail, keyTest, keyMsgFail as shown above,

form: form to use if it doesn't have the same name.

Tree location

The tree is now very simple: it contains nodes and leaves. Leaves are designed only by their attribute name. All description must be done in the file described above. Nodes are array member designed as this:

  {
    title => 'titleToTranslate',
    help  => 'helpUrl',
    form  => 'relativeUrl',
    nodes => [
      ... nodes or leaf ...
    ]
  }

Explanations:

title (required):

it must contain an entry of static/languages/lang.json

help (recommended):

as above, the relative HTML path to the help page (relative to /doc/pages/documentation/<version>/);

form (optional):

the name of a static/forms/<name>.html file

nodes:

array of sub nodes and leaf attached to this node

group:

must never be used in conjunction with nodes. Array of leaves only to be displayed in the same form

nodes_cond:

array of sub nodes that will be displayed with a filter. Not yet documented here, see the source code of site/htdocs/static/js/filterFunctions.js.

nodes_filter:

filter entry in site/htdocs/static/js/filterFunctions.js for the same feature.
