VPS Service in Domain List

The list of domains in the Domain Manager must show if the application service (VPS in our scenario) is bound to the domains.

Requirements

Expected Behavior

In Meta Declaration, you added the ui/plugins/DomainListPlugin.js file as a view-plugin that provides information about the application services in the list of domain. The system Domain Management displays a list of domains, where the Enabled for Services column shows the services a domain is linked with.

In this project, we expect the domain list to show if a domain is linked with at least one VPS.

Input, Output, and Data Processing

• When showing services assigned to a domain, the Domain Manager calls certain functions of each view-plugin module.

• Like other views, a view-plugin may define the init, onContext, onShow, and onHide methods.

• The Domain Manager passes the mediator module to the view-plugin and expects from the latter a definition of the mediator.updateState(domain,state) method that modifies the state object for the specified domain.

• The domain argument contains a list of services implementing the DomainService type and linked with the specified domain - domain.services list.

• The state object contains the following child objects that present the application services assigned to a domain:

  • state.status - a string that indicates if the application service is assigned to the domain. Its value can be one of the strings: “Assigned” or “Not Assigned”.

    Normally, if the application recognizes its service in the domain.services list, it must set the state.status property to “Assigned”.

  • state.title - the title of the application service displayed in the Enabled for Services column.

Continue Your Demo Project

Continue the demo project from the previous step.

In the mediator.updateState(domain, state) method, define two properties of the state object:

• state.title - any string you like
• state.status - “Assigned” or “Not Assigned”

The sample ui/plugins/DomainListPlugin.js looks as follows:

define([
    "dojo/_base/declare",

    "aps/nav/ViewPlugin"
], function (
    declare,

    ViewPlugin
) {
    return declare(ViewPlugin, {
        init: function(mediator) {
            mediator.updateState = function(domain, state) {
                state.status = "Not Assigned";
                state.title = "Virtual Server";
                if (domain.services && domain.services.length > 0) {
                    domain.services.forEach(function (service) {
                    if (service.aps.type === "http://aps-standard.org/samples/dns1p/vps/1.0")
                        state.status = "Assigned";
                    });
                }
            };
        }
    });
});

The above code sets the status to "Assigned" if it recognizes its APS type in the list of services linked with the domain.

Conclusion

On completion of this step, you have the application integrated into the list of domains presented by the Domain Manager

The project file you have created is similar to the respective file in the sample package.

In the next project phase, you will complete the UI integration by embedding a custom view-plugin into the domain profile view presented by the Domain Manager.
