3. SystemJs

   Add the following components to your systemjs.config.js file:

   • ng2-translate
   • ng2-alfresco-core
   • alfresco-js-api
   • ng2-alfresco-search
   • ng2-alfresco-documentlist

   Please refer to the following example file: systemjs.config.js .

Basic usage

<alfresco-search-control [searchTerm]="searchTerm"
                        inputType="search"
                        (searchChange)="onSearchChange($event);"
                        (searchSubmit)="onSearchSubmit($event);"
                        (fileSelect)="onSearchResultSelect($event);">
</alfresco-search-control>

Example of an component that uses the search control. In this example the search term is simply logged to the console but instead the component could emit an event to be consumed upstream, or it could trigger a change inside a search results component embedded inside the same component.

import { NgModule, Component } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { CoreModule } from 'ng2-alfresco-core';
import { SearchModule } from 'ng2-alfresco-search';
import { AlfrescoSettingsService, AlfrescoAuthenticationService } from 'ng2-alfresco-core';

@Component({
    selector: 'alfresco-app-demo',
    template: `<alfresco-search-control [searchTerm]="'test'"></alfresco-search-control>`
})
class SearchDemo {

    constructor(private authService: AlfrescoAuthenticationService, private settingsService: AlfrescoSettingsService) {
        settingsService.ecmHost = 'http://localhost:8080';

        this.authService.login('admin', 'admin').subscribe(
            ticket => {
                console.log(ticket);
            },
            error => {
                console.log(error);
            });
    }
}

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        CoreModule.forRoot(),
        SearchModule
    ],
    declarations: [SearchDemo],
    bootstrap: [SearchDemo]
})
export class AppModule {
}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Basic usage Search results

<alfresco-search [searchTerm]="searchTerm"></alfresco-search>

Example of an component that displays search results, using the Angular2 router to supply a 'q' parameter containing the search term. If no router is present on the page of if the router does not provide such a parameter then an empty results page will be shown.

import { NgModule, Component } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { CoreModule } from 'ng2-alfresco-core';
import { SearchModule } from 'ng2-alfresco-search';
import { AlfrescoSettingsService, AlfrescoAuthenticationService } from 'ng2-alfresco-core';

@Component({
    selector: 'alfresco-app-demo',
    template: `<alfresco-search [searchTerm]="'test'"></alfresco-search>`
})
class SearchDemo {

    constructor(private authService: AlfrescoAuthenticationService, private settingsService: AlfrescoSettingsService) {
        settingsService.ecmHost = 'http://localhost:8080';

        this.authService.login('admin', 'admin').subscribe(

        CoreModule.forRoot(),
        SearchModule
    ],
    declarations: [SearchDemo],
    bootstrap: [SearchDemo]
})
export class AppModule {
}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Build from sources

Alternatively you can build component from sources with the following commands:

npm install
npm run build

Build the files and keep watching for changes

$ npm run build:w

Running unit tests

npm test

Running unit tests in browser

npm test-browser

This task rebuilds all the code, runs tslint, license checks and other quality check tools before performing unit testing.

Code coverage

npm run coverage

Demo

If you want have a demo of how the component works, please check the demo folder :

cd demo
npm install
npm start

NPM scripts

Command	Description
npm run build	Build component
npm run test	Run unit tests in the console
npm run test-browser	Run unit tests in the browser
npm run coverage	Run unit tests and display code coverage report
