frontend-lokaal-mandatenbeheer

Frontend of the lokaal mandatenbeheer application

Tutorial

1. Make sure that the backend server is running. If this is not the case yet, first follow the instructions at: https://github.com/lblod/app-lokaal-mandatenbeheer

2. Install docker-ember

3. Run the command

   ed npm install
   

   in your terminal. This will install all current node modules.

4. Run the command

   eds --proxy http://host:90
   

   in your terminal. This will launch the Ember server and proxy to your localhost on port 90.

5. Browse to: http://localhost:4200. This is the view that the unauthenticated users will see. For the view of authenticated users, browse to: http://localhost:4200/mock-login.

Feature flags

Feature flags are used to enable/disable features in the application. They are defined in config/environment.js.

// in config/environment.js
let ENV = {
  // Other configuration settings...
  features: {
    "new-feature": true, // Enable the 'new-feature' by default
    "beta-feature": false, // Disable the 'beta-feature' by default
  },
};

The configuration can be manually overridden by adding a query parameter to the URL:

?feature-new-feature=false to disable the 'new-feature' ?feature-beta-feature=true to enable the 'beta-feature' The overriding will be saved in a cookie, so it will persist across page reloads. The cookie can be cleared by adding ?clear-feature-overrides=true to the URL.

The feature flags can be used in the application by injecting the features service and calling the isEnabled method.

import { inject as service } from "@ember/service";

export default class ExampleComponent extends Component {
  @service features;

  doSomething() {
    if (this.features.isEnabled("new-feature")) {
      // Implement the logic for the new feature
      console.log("New feature is enabled!");
    } else {
      // Implement the logic for the default behaviour without the new feature
      console.log("New feature is disabled!");
    }
  }
}

Or in template files by using the is-feature-enabled helper:

{{#if (is-feature-enabled "new-feature")}}
  <p>New feature is enabled!</p>
{{else}}
  <p>New feature is disabled!</p>
{{/if}}

Environment variables

This frontend is hosted by the static-file-service microservice. It supports configuring our Ember application at runtime using environment variables. The following options are available for the lokaal mandatenbeheer image.

General

TODO This functionality is not supported yet.

Name	Description
EMBER_LPDC_URL	Link to the LPDC application (only required when the feature flag is enabled)

ACM/IDM

TODO This functionality is not supported yet. It will be added in the near future.

Name	Description
EMBER_ACMIDM_CLIENT_ID	The unique client id for a specific environment
EMBER_ACMIDM_AUTH_URL	The URL where users will be redirected to when they want to log in
EMBER_ACMIDM_AUTH_REDIRECT_URL	The callback URL that ACM/IDM will use after the user logs in successfully
EMBER_ACMIDM_LOGOUT_URL	The URL where users will be redirected to when they want to log out
EMBER_ACMIDM_SWITCH_REDIRECT_URL	The URL that will be used when "switching users" is enabled in ACM/IDM. After logout, users can select one of their other accounts to simplify the flow.

When ACM/IDM is not configured, the frontend will default to the "mock login" setup instead.

Name	Description
EMBER_ANALYTICS_API_HOST	The URL of the Plausible host to which all events will be sent
