Overview

This article explains how to transform manifests v1.0 into the new manifests v2.0. From this guide, you will learn how to configure manifest with necessary menu items, add filters and configure them, and add custom components. The examples below demonstrate the following Fluent OMS menu items:

Orders
Roles & Permissions
Settings

Admin Console Vs Fluent OMS Manifests

Manifest

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

Complex manifest document which contains all application structure (

`ADMIN_CONSOLE_MANIFEST`

Main manifest (

`fc.mystique.manifest.oms`

) and smaller fragment settings(

`fc.mystique.manifest.oms.fApplication modulesment.ordermanagement`

Application Modules

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

New modules are added in one complex manifest. Marked JSON fragment is used to add new module to the application and display it in the side navigation.

1. New modules are added via fragments in the main manifest.
See the example below:

2. Marked JSON fragment from

`fc.mystique.manifest.oms.fragment.ordermanagement`

is used to display new module in the side navigation.

3. i18n support for labels is added. Label format is

`i18n:fc.om.nav`

Menu item

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

Marked JSON fragment from

`ADMIN_CONSOLE_MANIFEST`

is used to add new menu items to the side navigation.

Marked JSON fragment from

`fc.mystique.manifest.oms.fragment.ordermanagement`

is used to add new menu item to the side navigation.

Add Page

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

Example of adding a page in

`ADMIN_CONSOLE_MANIFEST`

1. To add required pages, add key word pages which contains an array and add to this array all pages you need.

2 . Indicate the following data:

- type
- path
- component (

`fc.page`

)

3. To set a title it, add

`"props":`

Query

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

In the manifest v1.0 (

`ADMIN_CONSOLE_MANIFEST`

it was possible to divide query into several parts (fragments).

In the new v2.0 manifest, the query cannot be divided into fragments, it should be a single.

All pages uses GraphQL queries to display information.

To add query to the page follow next steps:

- Add

`"data":`

and put inside key word

`"query":`

.
- GraphQL query should be added after the key word. See the example in the JSON fragment above.

Table

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

To display data in the table fragment of the query can be used.

1. To add a table to a page it is, use descendants - child element of a page.

2. Indicate the following data:

- component (fc.list)
- props

3. Props contains:

`dataSource`

(put data from the query) and

`attributes`

(an array which contains table’s columns).

4. Each column describes the following way:

`"label":`

- the name of a column;

`"template":`

- dynamic value from the query, e.g., {{node.ref}} .

In case the value in a column is a link to another page

`"link":`

parameter should be added to the

`"attributes":`

Link To Another Page

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

To add a link to the data in a column

`"link_template":`

is used. The format of a link is marked in the JSON fragment below.

To add a link to the data in a column it is, use

`"link":`

. The format of a link is marked in the JSON fragment below.

Details Page with Tab

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

Tab is added via

`"layouts":`

1. To add details page with a tab indicate:

- type (

`"page"`

)
- path (should be equal to

`"link":`

)
- component

`(“fc.page"`

)
- data

`(“query"`

and

`“variable"`

, which are taken from URL)

2 . Title is indicated in “

`props":`

To make title dynamic data should be taken from query, e.g.,

`"props": {`

`"title": "{{orderById.ref}} - {{orderById.status}}"`

`},`

3. Use descendants to add a tab:

`"descendants": [`

`{ "component": "fc.tabs",`

`"props":`

`{ "layouts": [`

`{ "label": "i18n:fc.om.orders.detail.tab.details.label" } ] },`

Example of details page with added tab:

Details page with card and table in the tab

Admin Console

Fluent OMS

1. Details page with a tab and a card on it:

2. Tab with a card and a table:

1. To add card or table to the tab it is, use a new descendant

- add to it new component (

`fc.page.section`

) with its descendants:
- use

`fc.card.attribute`

to add a tab
- use

`fc.list`

to add a table

2. The following properties should be indicated for

`fc.card.attribute`

component:

- title
- width
- dataSource
- attributes

3. The following properties should be indicated for

`fc.list`

component:
- title
- dataSource
- attributes

How to add a component to a tab

To add a component to a tab, utilise

`“descendants":`

and indicates the following:

component
dataSource
props

See the example below:

1{
2  "type": "page",
3  "path": "orders/:id/:retailerId/:ref",
4  "component": "fc.page",
5  "descendants": [
6    {
7      "component": "fc.tabs",
8      "props": {
9        "layouts": [
10          {
11            "label": "i18n:fc.om.orders.detail.tab.activity.label"
12          }
13        ]
14      },
15      "descendants": [
16        {
17          "component": "fc.page.section",
18          "descendants": [
19            {
20              "component": "fc.activity.entity",
21              "dataSource": "orderById",
22              "props": {
23                "width": "12",
24                "showChildEntities": true
25              }
26            }
27          ]
28        }

How to add a filter and exclude filters that should not be displayed on

To add a filter to a table one needs to add to

`"props":`

filter and set the value

`enabled`

into true. In case

`enabled`

is set to false, filters will not be displayed.

Parameters with types that don't have a matching field implementation are excluded, along with any listed in the explicit "exclude" config option.

See the example below:

1{
2  "type": "page",
3  "path": "orders",
4  "component": "fc.page",
5  "descendants": [
6    {
7      "component": "fc.list",
8      "props": {
9        "dataSource": "orders",
10        "filter": {
11          "enabled": true,
12          "exclude": [
13            "workflowRef",
14            "workflowVersion",
15            "totalPrice",
16            "totalTaxPrice"
17          ]
18        }
19      }
20    }

Note

Mystique automatically adds parameters for the filter to the query but can't do that if they're already there in the query so we'll have to remove them. See the example below:

Problem:

Some parameters are not displayed in a filter.

Provided:

1query ($ref: [String], $status: [String], $type: [String!]) {
2  orders(ref: $ref, status: $status, type: $type) {
3    edges {
4      node {
5        id
6        ref
7        retailer {
8          id
9          tradingName
10        }
11        type
12        status
13        retailer {
14          id
15        }

How to add breadcrumbs

To add breadcrumbs to a page one needs to add to props

`"backButtons":`

array which contains:

path
menuLabel

See the example below:

1{
2  "type": "page",
3  "path": "orders/:id/:retailerId/:ref",

Usually, UserActions are configured in the workflow. Despite this, sometimes there are situations when appropriate changes should be made to the manifest as well, e.g., a component from Mystique core is used.

Both UserActions and Mutations are actions that should be added to the

`fc.list`

props. Actions can be primary or secondary:

For UserAction

`type`

and

`name`

should be indicated in the array, e.g.

1"type": "userAction",
2"name": "OrderAddressChange",
