Contains Collection Editor library components powered by angular. These components are designed to be used in the sunbirdEd portal and web portal to drive reusability, maintainability hence reducing the redundant development effort significantly.
Any web based application can use this library as a web component. It accepts couple of inputs and triggers editorEmitter events back to the application.
Follow below-mentioned steps to use it in plain javascript project:
-
Insert library as below:
<script type="text/javascript" src="sunbird-collection-editor.js"></script>
-
Update below script in index.html file
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/reflect-metadata/0.1.13/Reflect.min.js" integrity="sha512-jvbPH2TH5BSZumEfOJZn9IV+5bSwwN+qG4dvthYe3KCGC3/9HmxZ4phADbt9Pfcp+XSyyfc2vGZ/RMsSUZ9tbQ==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>
-
Get sample editorConfig from here: editorConfig
-
Create a custom html element:
lib-editorconst editorElement = document.createElement('lib-editor');
-
Pass data using
editor-configeditorElement.setAttribute('editor-config', JSON.stringify(editorConfig));
Note: Attribute name should be in kebab-case regardless of the actual Attribute name used in the Angular app. The value of the attribute should be in string type, as web-component does not accept any objects or arrays.
-
Listen for the output events: editorEmitter
editorElement.addEventListener('editorEmitter', (event) => { console.log("On editorEmitter", event); });
-
Append this element to existing element
const collectionEditor = document.getElementById("my-editor"); collectionEditor.appendChild(editorElement);
-
Refer demo example
-
To run the demo project, use the following commands:
cd web-component-demo npx http-server --cors .
open http://127.0.0.1:8080/ Note: Due to cors errors when you open the index.html from demo folder as file, it is recomanded to run a static server in it like http-server.
-
Run command
npm i @project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor-web-component npm i reflect-metadata
-
Add these entries in angular json file inside assets, scripts and styles like below
"assets": [ "src/favicon.ico", "src/assets", { "glob": "**/*.*", "input": "./node_modules/@project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor-web-component/assets", "output": "/assets/" } ], "styles": [ "src/styles.scss", "node_modules/@project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor-web-component/styles.css" ], "scripts": [ "node_modules/reflect-metadata/Reflect.js", "node_modules/@project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor-web-component/sunbird-collection-editor.js" ]
-
Import CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA in app module and add it to the NgModule as part of schemas like below
... import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core'; ... @NgModule({ ... schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA], ... })
-
Integrating sunbird-collection-editor web component in angular component
Create a viewChild in html template of the angular component like
<div #editor></div>
Refer the viewChild in ts file of the component and create the pdf player using document.createElement, then attach the player config and listen to the player and telemetry events like below and since we are rendering using viewChild these steps should be under ngAfterViewInit hook of the angular component.
....
@ViewChild('editor') editor: ElementRef;
....
ngAfterViewInit() {
const editorConfig = <Config need be added>;
const editorElement = document.createElement('lib-editor');
editorElement.setAttribute('editor-config', JSON.stringify(editorConfig));
editorElement.addEventListener('editorEmitter', (event) => {
console.log("On editorEmitter event", event);
});
this.editor.nativeElement.append(editorElement);
}
....
This guide explains how to set up your Angular project to begin using the collection editor library. It includes information on prerequisites, installing editor library, and optionally displaying a sample editor library component in your application to verify your setup.
If you are new to Angular or getting started with a new Angular application, see Angular's full Getting Started Guide and Setting up your environment.
NOTE:
@project-sunbird/[email protected].*versions will refer to angular 9 to 12 upgradation changes.
For existing applications, follow the steps below to begin using Collection editor library.
The following commands will add sunbird-collection-editor library to your package.json file along with its dependencies.
npm i @project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor --saveDon't forget to install the below peer dependencies of the library in your application. that need to be installed in order to use the library in your angular project.

After installing the above dependencies, now we have to copy the required assets from the given folder to the assets folder of your angular application. It contains styles and plugins.
- Copy the assets from: assets
-
Create a latexService.js in the root folder. Refer: latexService.js
-
Create a proxy.conf.json in the root folder. Refer: proxy.conf.json
-
Create server.js in the root folder. Refer: server.js
Now open the angular.json file and add the following under architect.build.assets for default project
{
...

"builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
"options": {
...
...
"aot": false,

}Create a question-cursor-implementation.service.ts in a project and which will implement the QuestionCursor and EditorCursor abstract class.
QuestionCursor and EditorCursor is an abstract class, exported from the library, which needs to be implemented. Basically it has some methods which should make an API request over HTTP
Let's create the question-cursor-implementation service by running the following command:
cd src/app
ng g service question-cursor-implementation
Now open app.module.ts file and import like this:
+ import { EditorCursor } from 'collection-editor-library';
+ import { QuestionCursor } from '@project-sunbird/sunbird-quml-player';
+ import { EditorCursorImplementationService } from './editor-cursor-implementation.service';
@NgModule({
providers: [
+ { provide: QuestionCursor, useExisting: EditorCursorImplementationService },
+ { provide: EditorCursor, useExisting: EditorCursorImplementationService }
],
})
export class AppModule { }
For more information refer question-cursor-implementation.service.ts and do not forgot to add your question list API URL
For example: https://staging.sunbirded.org/api/question/v1/list
Include CollectionEditorLibraryModule in your app module:
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
+ import { CollectionEditorLibraryModule, EditorCursor } from '@project-sunbird/sunbird-collection-editor';
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { QuestionCursor } from '@project-sunbird/sunbird-quml-player';
import { EditorCursorImplementationService } from './editor-cursor-implementation.service';
@NgModule({
...
imports: [
+ CollectionEditorLibraryModule,
BrowserAnimationsModule,
RouterModule.forRoot([])
],
providers: [
{ provide: QuestionCursor, useExisting: EditorCursorImplementationService },
{ provide: EditorCursor, useExisting: EditorCursorImplementationService }
]
...
})
export class AppModule { }Once your library is imported, you can use its main component, lib-editor in your Angular application.
Add the tag to the app.component.html like so:
<lib-editor [editorConfig]="editorConfig" (editorEmitter)="editorEventListener($event)"></lib-editor>
Create a data.ts file which contains the collectionEditorConfig Refer: data.ts
(Note: data.ts contains the mock config used in component to send it as input to collection Editor. We need only collectionEditorConfig.Use the mock config in your component to send input to collection editor as editorConfig)
app.component.ts
...
+ import { collectionEditorConfig } from './data';
@Component({
...
})
export class AppComponent {
...
+ public editorConfig: any = collectionEditorConfig;
}app.component.html
<lib-editor [editorConfig]="editorConfig" (editorEmitter)="editorEventListener($event)"></lib-editor>| Feature | Notes | Selector | Code | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collection Editor | Can be used to render Editor | lib-editor | <lib-editor [editorConfig]="editorConfig"></lib-editor> |
editorConfig | editorEmitter |
- editorConfig: Object - [
Required]
{
context: Object // Information about the telemetry and default settings for editor API requests
config: Object // default editor config such as sidebar menu list
}For more information refer this documentation: CONFIGURATION.MD
- editorEmitter() - It emits event for each action performed in the editor.
Go to the root directory - Open server.js file
Update the host variable to which env your pointing. example if you are pointing sunbird dev instance update variable like below
const BASE_URL = 'dev.sunbirded.org'
const API_AUTH_TOKEN = 'XXXX'
const USER_TOKEN= 'YYYY'Note: You will need actual API_AUTH_TOKEN and USER_TOKEN
If you are pointing to sunbird dev -> dev.sunbirded.org, create a textbook in sunbird dev, copy the textbook_id from the browser url and set the do_id of textbook in the data.ts file
export const collectionEditorConfig = {
context: {
...
identifier: 'do_id', // identifier of textbook created in sunbird dev
...
},
config: {
...
}Run npm run build-lib to build the library. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.
Before running the application, we have to start the node server to proxy the APIs by running the following command:
nodemon server.js
Once that is done, Use the following CLI command to run your application locally
npm run start
To see your application in the browser, go to http://localhost:4200.
