@impartner/angular-sdk

This package contains Angular services and typings to facilitate development and integration of Angular web components written for Impartner host applications.

Getting Started

1. Add the @impartner/angular-sdk dependency from npm.

2. Update the application project's environment.ts and environment.prod.ts files to include the impartnerEndpointUrl property.

   • In environment.ts, set this property value to "/api", or some other unique path segment that will be used in the same project's local-serve proxy configuration to proxy requests to the Impartner PRM.
   • In environment.prod.ts, set this property value to an empty string, as it will not be used in production builds.

3. Import ImpartnerSdkModule to the application's root NgModule using the ImpartnerSdkModule.forRoot(...) static function, passing the project's environment constant as the only argument.

   import { ImpartnerSdkModule } from '@impartner/angular-sdk';
   
   @NgModule({
     ...
     imports: [
       ...
       ImpartnerSdkModule.forRoot(environment),
       ...
     ],
     ...
   })
   export class AppModule { ... }

Methods

All below methods accept one message argument and an open-ended number of additional objects to be logged - the only difference between them is the message severity, which is denoted by the method name itself.

Local Development

All of the above documented services will also work in local development, provided the environment object passed to ImpartnerSdkModule.forRoot(environment) includes the property value production: false. However, there are some notable differences when running locally.

• IImpartnerHttpClient
  • HTTP calls made through IImpartnerHttpClient (including those by ImpartnerMetadataService and ImpartnerObjectService) will go to localhost with a root path matching the impartnerEndpointUrl property of the environment object. In order for these requests to adequately resolve, the Angular application's local development build must be configured to proxy calls on that path to an Impartner environment. For instructions on how to configure the proxy for local development, consult the Angular documentation.
• IImpartnerRouter
  • The navigate method will not trigger any actual navigation, but instead will log the provided arguments to the console and trigger a browser alert notifying that navigation was triggered.
  • The getState method will log a trace message to the console and return an object with the current query string parameters and the below name and path properties:

    {
      name: 'Local Development',
      path: '/'
    }

  • The getContentPageMetadata method will log a trace message to the console and return a resolved Promise with an array of predefined, for-testing-only routes.
