Running Alfresco AngularJS Application (0.5.1) without Activiti Explorer

This BLOG is explaining what all changes you need to make to start Alfresco AngularJS client without Activiti explorer.

Make sure that you are using the latest version of alfresco-community(5.2.a).

If you are using an older version, you need to enable CORS manually for alfresco AngularJS application to connect to your Alfresco repository.

This BLOG assumes that you have already generated AngularJS application by referring below links:

https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components/blob/master/PREREQUISITES.md (for prerequisites) and

https://github.com/Alfresco/generator-ng2-alfresco-app (for alfresco AngularJS application generation).

You only want to use it as an ECM without installing Activiti. In order to achieve this follow the below steps:

1.  Find a file files.component.ts on a path ./app/components/files.
2.  Edit that file and replace the code of that file with the code given below :

 import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { 
 DocumentActionsService,
 DocumentList 
} from 'ng2-alfresco-documentlist';
 import { FormService } from 'ng2-activiti-form';
 
 declare let __moduleName: string;
 
 @Component({ 
 moduleId: __moduleName,
 selector: 'files-component',
 templateUrl: './files.component.html',
 styleUrls: ['./files.component.css'] 
})
 export class FilesComponent {
 currentPath: string = '/Sites/swsdp/documentLibrary';
 
 fileNodeId: any; 
 fileShowed: boolean = false;
 multipleFileUpload: boolean = false;
 folderUpload: boolean = false;
 acceptedFilesTypeShow: boolean = false;
 versioning: boolean = false;
 
 acceptedFilesType: string = '.jpg,.pdf,.js';
 @ViewChild(DocumentList) 
 documentList: DocumentList;
 
 constructor(private documentActions: DocumentActionsService,
 private formService: FormService,
 private router: Router) { 
 documentActions.setHandler('my-handler', this.myDocumentActionHandler.bind(this));
 } 
 
 myDocumentActionHandler(obj: any) { 
 window.alert('my custom action handler');
 } 
 
 myCustomAction1(event) { 
 alert('Custom document action for ' + event.value.entry.name);
 } 
 
 myFolderAction1(event) { 
 alert('Custom folder action for ' + event.value.entry.name);
 } 
 
 showFile(event) { 
 if (event.value.entry.isFile) { 
 this.fileNodeId = event.value.entry.id;
 this.fileShowed = true; } 
 else { 
 this.fileShowed = false;
 } 
 } 
 
 onFolderChanged(event?: any) { 
 if (event) { 
 this.currentPath = event.path;
 } 
 } 
 
 toggleMultipleFileUpload() { 
 this.multipleFileUpload = !this.multipleFileUpload;
 return this.multipleFileUpload;
 } 
 
 toggleFolder() { 
 this.multipleFileUpload = false;
 this.folderUpload = !this.folderUpload; return this.folderUpload;
 } 
 
 toggleAcceptedFilesType() {
 this.acceptedFilesTypeShow = !this.acceptedFilesTypeShow;
 return this.acceptedFilesTypeShow;
 } 
 
 toggleVersioning() { 
 this.versioning = !this.versioning; return this.versioning;
 } 
 
 viewActivitiForm(event?: any) { 
 this.router.navigate(['/activiti/tasksnode', event.value.entry.id]);
 } 
}

3.  Rebuild the project using the command “npm run build” from a command prompt.
4.  And start the app using “npm start command”.
