Module - creating a new dashboard button

In this tutorial we will describe how to create and register new button on identity dashboard.

What do you need before you start

Source codes for this tutorial can be found in the example module

01 Create a button component

We will use AbstractIdentityDashboardButton component as superclass for creating custom button (prepared in core advanced component library) - contains some default method implementations (common button features … boiler plate). Newly created button will do a redirect to selected identity contacts tab.

import { connect } from 'react-redux';
//
import { Advanced, Managers } from 'czechidm-core';
 
const identityManager = new Managers.IdentityManager();
 
/**
 * Quick button to identity detail with contract tab selected.
 *
 * @since 9.6.0
 */
class IdentityContractDashboardButton extends Advanced.AbstractIdentityDashboardButton {
 
  constructor(props, context) {
    super(props, context);
  }
 
  getIcon() {
    return 'component:contract';
  }
 
  isRendered() {
    const { identity, permissions } = this.props;
    //
    return identityManager.canRead(identity, permissions);
  }
 
  getLabel() {
    return this.i18n('content.identity.identityContracts.header');
  }
 
  getTitle() {
    return this.i18n('content.identity.identityContracts.title');
  }
 
  onClick() {
    this.context.router.push(`/identity/${encodeURIComponent(this.getIdentityIdentifier())}/contracts`);
  }
}
 
function select(state) {
  return {
    i18nReady: state.config.get('i18nReady'), // required (listen locale is changed)
    userContext: state.security.userContext // required (listen logged user context)
  };
}
 
export default connect(select)(IdentityContractDashboardButton);

02 Register button component

Component is created, now we need to register her in component descriptor. New button will be available on identity dashboard.

Add component into module's component-descriptor.js:

...
module.exports = {
  ...
  'components': [
    ...
    {
      'id': 'identity-contract-dashboard-button',
      'type': 'identity-dashboard-button',
      'order': 150,
      'component': require('./src/content/dashboards/button/IdentityContractDashboardButton')
    }
    ...
  ]
};
...
