core

• Core module contains common functionality including:

Configuration and bootstrapping (config/)

• This folder contains useful services to initialize your application and pass some static properties into your application both during initialization and runtime.

e.g:

imports:      [
    BrowserModule,
    AribaCoreModule.forRoot({
      'app.title': 'My first application'
    })

    export class AppComponent {
      title = 'app';
    
    
      constructor(appConfig: AppConfig) {
        console.log(appConfig.get('app.title'));
      }
    }    

Domain object and REST API (domain/)

• We have two main types of domain object Values and Entities
  • Entity is a domain object that has its own unique identifier so their instances are uniquely identifiable across their type and space
  • Value object as compared to Entities they dont need to be unique and Value objects are usually immutable. They are always part of the entity. They dont live outside and by themself
• Both of them are deserializable so if you implement your domain structure correctly there is Resource service that can make your live easier. For example let's consider we have this User object. You just need to say that User is a Entity

e.g:

class User implements Entity
{

    uniqueName: string;
    created: Date;


    identity(): string
    {
        return this.uniqueName;
    }

    getTypes(): any
    {
        return {
            created: Date,
        };
    }


    $proto(): Entity
    {
        return null;
    }

    className(): string
    {
        return null;
    }
}

and then you can use Resource service to retrieve your domain object from server and convert them into correct types.

• Resource service provides fluent and high level API on top of HttpClient so you dont assemble URL traditional way rather more fluentish and functionalish way, working with real data types such a Value and Entity.

  • To simply assemble following URL http://api.ariba.com/myService/v1/requisitions/123 and and fetch Requisition data:

   let r: Resource
 
   r.load()
    .resource(Requisition)
    .withId('123')
    .asEntity<Requisition>((r: Requisition) => receivedR = r);
 

• You you can simply read it: Load resource Requisition with ID 123 and return this as Entity
• For more information please checkout domain/resource.service.ts

Messaging (messaging/)

• Notifications service is a implementation of the publish/subscribe event bus for publishing and listening for application level events.

e.g.:

notifications.subscribe('user:signed-in', (message: any) =>
               {
                   // load user profile
               });

Utilities (utils/)

• Set of reusable globals originating from the Angular and extended, something that every application needs and you use on daily basis.
• This includes global language functions to work with types and collections and much more.
