ZK 8.0
Overview
Angular [1] is a well-known client-side MVW framework. In the previous article,Integrating ZK with AngularJS, we have introduced how to integrate with AngularJS (1.x), but Angular changes a lot since 2.0. So we think that we also need to introduce more about the integration with Angular again.
In this article, I use the example in Angular tutorial, hero editor, as the base and modify it to communicate with a Java ViewModel at the server-side with client command binding.
Load Heroes from the Server
First, we need to rename index.html to index.zhtml to be processed by ZK and keep all existing tag elements unchanged in the file. Then add a ZK <z:div> for applying ViewModel.
<html xmlns:z="zul" xmlns="native">
...
<z:div id="heroes"
viewModel="@id('vm')@init('org.zkoss.zkangular.HeroEditorVM')">
<my-app>Loading...</my-app>
<br/><br/>
<z:button label="list all at the server" onClick="@command('show')"/>
</z:div>
- Line 1: We use ZUML namespaces to mix different compoennt sets in a file.
Initialize Heroes
Since we suppose there are hero data at the server side, we need to create a Hero.java.
public class Hero {
private int id;
private String name;
/**
* the no-argument constructor is required for converting a JSON into a Java object.
*/
public Hero(){
}
...
}
- Line 8: ZK can convert a JSON object into Java object for you, but the Java class must have a no-argument constructor.
After that, we create a list of Hero in a ViewModel.
public class HeroEditorVM {
private ArrayList<Hero> heroes = new ArrayList<Hero>();
private static Integer currentIndex = 10;
@Init
public void init() {
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Mr. Nice"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Narco"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Bombasto"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Celeritas"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Magneta"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "RubberMan"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Dynama"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Dr IQ"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Magma"));
heroes.add(new Hero(nextId(), "Tornado"));
}
...
}
Request to Get Heroes
Originally, the HeroService.ts sends a request to an in-memory data service to get heroes. Now we change it to send a request to a ZK ViewModel with client command binding API.
@Injectable()
export class HeroService {
private headers = new Headers({'Content-Type': 'application/json'});
private heroesUrl = 'app/heroes'; // URL to web api
private binder = zkbind.$('$heroes');
constructor(private http: Http) { }
getHeroes(): void {
this.binder.command('reload');
}
...
}
- Line 6: We need to get a binder to trigger a command binding by binder.command('reload').
To allow client command binding for "reload", we need to put @ToServerCommand({"reload"}) on the class. In reload(), we don't need to do anything but just trigger a notification for the property "heroes". Combine @NotifyCommand and @ToClientCommand, ZK will invoke a JavaScript callback function when we notify change for "heroes" property.
@NotifyCommand(value="updateHero", onChange="_vm_.heroes")
@ToClientCommand({"updateHero"})
@ToServerCommand({"reload"})
public class HeroEditorVM {
...
@Command @NotifyChange("heroes")
public void reload(){
}
...
}
Show Heroes in the Dashboard
Since we specify a to client command "updateHero" in the ViewModel (@ToClientCommand({"updateHero"})), we need to register a callback to receive heroes from the server and display 4 of them in the dashboard.
...
export class DashboardComponent implements OnInit {
heroes: Hero[] = [];
binder = zkbind.$('$heroes');
...
ngOnInit(): void {
this.binder.after('updateHero', heroes => {
this.heroes = heroes.slice(1, 5);
});
this.heroService.getHeroes();
}
}
Show a Hero Detail
...
export class HeroDetailComponent implements OnInit {
hero: Hero;
private binder = zkbind.$('$heroes');;
...
ngOnInit(): void {
this.heroService.getHeroes();
this.binder.after('updateHero', heroes => {
this.route.params.switchMap((params: Params) => {
for (var i = 0 ; i < heroes.length ; i++){
if (heroes[i].id == params.id){
return Promise.resolve(heroes[i]);
}
}
}).subscribe(hero => {
this.hero = hero;
});
});
}
- Line 9, 10: Call to get heroes and re register a callback to receive heroes. Then find the selected hero with its ID.
Add a Hero
List heroes at the Server
Update a Hero
Delete a Hero
