Edit Collection Component [C IG]
Add this tag "<pf-edit-collection>" to html to use this component. The Edit Collection Component is used to edit an existing Vidispine Collection metadata. External metadata can be pass as input into Edit Collection Component (similar to Booking Component), then the collection will be updated with the metadata specified in the Edit Collection Component layout. External metadata will also be used to update the collection metadata. In this component, save button and reset button is removed from the layout. Saving and resetting layout is done via an actionEvent sent as an input into Edit Collection Component. Below are input and output of this component.
Input | Description | Sample Input |
auth-service-url | The url to the identity server authentication service. | |
auth-redirect-url | When the authentication service authenticated the user, the auth service will redirect to this url. Note: this url must be configured as "redirect url" of auth service | http:// localhost:19081/MetadataEditor/ |
auth-logout-url | Logout redirect url of auth service | http:// localhost:19081 /MetadataEditor/ |
auth-silent-refresh-url | The silent refresh html that oidc client use to refresh the auth token | http:// localhost:19081/silent-refresh.html |
metadata-editor-uri | Currently the metadata editor do not directly access Vidispine or ConfigPortal api. Instead request are made to a proxy "metadata editor host" installed with VidiFlow which then routed to Vidispine or ConfigPortal api. So this is the url of that proxy service. | http://localhost:19081/Platform.Clients/MetadataEditor/ (backslash needed.) |
header-text | Text to be shown in header of MetadataEditor | Edit Collection |
object-id | The collection id of collection to be edited. | pf://systemname/collection /VX-110 |
Output | Description | Sample |
saveClicked | Triggered when the save button is clicked. | |
collectionUpdated | When updating collection, this event will emit the result whether success or failed. The structure of the emitted event look like this | { success:: true } { success: false errorMessage: "some error" |
Sending External Metadata input and actionEvent
External metadata and actionEvent must be provided via web component property instead of an attribute because any input provided via attribute will be converted to string. Below, an example of how to provide external metadata and actionEvent into Edit Collection Component. Please note that if a metadata field exists in the Edit Collection Component's layout, but also exists in the external metadata input, external metadata will take precedence and overwrite the value defined in the layout.
In template or .html
<pf-edit-collection #editor
[attr.auth-service-url]="authServiceUrl"
[attr.auth-redirect-url]="authRedirectUrl"
[attr.auth-logout-url]="authLogoutUrl"
[attr.auth-silent-refresh-url]="authSilentRefreshUrl"
[attr.metadata-editor-uri]="metadataEditorUri"
...
></pf-edit-collection>
In .ts file
// reference the edit collection component
@ViewChild('editor') editor: ElementRef;
...
// to provide metadata for the collection
// provide external metadata to externalMetadata property
this.editor.nativeElement.externalMetadata = [
{
name: 'V3_bookingType',
value: [{
value: 'type1',
}],
}
];
// insert save event for actionEvent to trigger saving
this.editor.nativeElement.actionEvent = {
name: 'save',
};
// insert reset event for actionEvent to reset value in Create Collection component lay-out
this.editor.nativeElement.actionEvent = {
name: 'resetMetadata',
};
Clone and Copy Metadata from Existing Item / Collection
The clone from existing item metadata feature is supported only for "pf-booking" and "pf-create-collection".
By simply providing the clone-object-id in platform uri standard, it will load the metadata from the provided item/collection into the Metadata Editor Layout.
In template or .html
<pf-booking #editor
[attr.clone-object-id]="'pf://system/item/VX-123'"
….
<pf-booking>
<pf-create-collection #editor
[attr.clone-object-id]="'pf://system/collection/VX-123'"
….
<pf-create-collection>
MetadataInitialized Event
The MetadataInitialized event is introduced for the used when metadata is loaded and ready for editing.
In template or .html
<pf-booking #editor
(metadataInitialized)="metadataInitialized()"
….
<pf-booking>
