defmodule Drab do @moduledoc """ Drab allows to query and manipulate the User Interface directly from the Phoenix server backend. Drab operates on top of the Phoenix application, to run it you must already have it configured. In case you operate the app under an umbrella, all Drab configuration and installation should be done in the Web application (in most cases the one ending with `_web`). All Drab functions (callbacks and event handlers) should be placed in a module called a 'commander'. It is very similar to controller, but it does not render any pages - it works with the live page instead. For example, pages generated by `DrabExample.PageController` are handled by commander with the corresponding name, in this case `DrabExample.PageCommander`: defmodule DrabExample.PageCommander do use Drab.Commander onload :page_loaded # Drab Callbacks def page_loaded(socket) do set_prop socket, "div.jumbotron h2", innerHTML: "This page has been DRABBED" end # Drab Events defhandler button_clicked(socket, sender) do set_prop socket, this(sender), innerText: "already clicked" end end More on commander is in `Drab.Commander` documentation. Drab handler are launched from the client (browser) side by running javascript function [`Drab.exec_elixir()`](Drab.Client.html#module-drab-exec_elixir-elixir_function_name-argument), or defining the handler function name directly in the html: More on event handlers in `Drab.Core` documentation. ## Debugging Drab in IEx When started with iex (`iex -S mix phx.server`) Drab shows the helpful message on how to debug its functions: Started Drab for /drab/docs, handling events in DrabPoc.DocsCommander You may debug Drab functions in IEx by copy/paste the following: import Drab.{Core, Query, Modal, Waiter} socket = Drab.get_socket(pid("0.443.0")) Examples: socket |> select(:htmls, from: "h4") socket |> exec_js("alert('hello from IEx!')") socket |> alert("Title", "Sure?", buttons: [ok: "Azaliż", cancel: "Poniechaj"]) All you need to do is to copy/paste the line with `socket = ...` and now you can run Drab function directly from IEx, observing the results on the running browser in the realtime. ## Modules Drab is modular. You may choose which modules to use in the specific Commander by using `:module` option in `use Drab.Commander` directive or set it globally by `:default_modules` config option. By default, `Drab.Live`, `Drab.Element` and `Drab.Modal` are loaded. Every module must have the corresponding javascript template, which is added to the client code in case the module is loaded. This is why it is good to keep the modules list small, if you are not using all modules. `Drab.Core` module is always loaded. ### List of Drab Modules #### `Drab.Core` Contains core functions, like `exec_js`. It is always loaded, as it is essential for the rest of Drab. #### `Drab.Live`, the living assigns This module is responsible for the living assigns. Contains function to push (`poke`) and pull (`peek`) new assign values to the browser, live. Works only with pages compiled with `Drab.Live.EExEngine` (pages with `.drab` extension). #### `Drab.Element`, DOM element manipulation Use functions from this module to get (`query`) or set (`set_prop`) properties or attributes of DOM elements. All functions are based on CSS selectors. #### `Drab.Modal`, Bootstrap modal window This module contains only one function, `modal`, which shows synchronous modal windows. It requires Bootstrap to work. Good to ask for a customer input. #### `Drab.Waiter`, waits for the user input This is an optional module, so must be listed in `:module` option in `use Drab.Commander` directive or in `:default_modules` config option. Analogically to modal, waits for the user input. #### `Drab.Query`, the jQuery module This is an optional module, so must be listed in `:module` option in `use Drab.Commander` directive or in `:default_modules` config option. Also, jQuery must be available as a global (see "Manuall Installation" in `README`). `Drab.Query` has a number of useful functions, brings jQuery to the server side. #### `Drab.Browser`, browser related functions This module is standalone (does not contain its own JS), so it does not have to be listed in `use Drab.Commander` or in the setup. Contains browser related functions, like get the local time, language or set the url in the browser bar. ## Handling Exceptions Drab intercepts all exceptions from event handler function and let it die, but before it presents the error message in the logs and an alert for a user on the page. By default it is just an `alert()`, but you can easly override it by creating the template in the `priv/templates/drab/drab.error_handler.js` folder with your own javascript presenting the message. You may use the local variable `message` there to get the exception description, like: alert(<%= message %>); ## Drab in production and behind a proxy When using in production, an app is often behind an apache/nginx server for domain virtualization or balancing, so the external port (80) is different from the actual app port (i.e. 4000). The necessary mapping between the two ports is usually done by configuring a proxy, but _a particularly care have to be taken to correctly handle_ `websocket` _calls_, as they are at the core of Drab mechanism to communicate between the client browser and the backend server. You can find more information and examples to how to configure your nxinx or apache environments on the Drab wiki page at https://github.com/grych/drab/wiki/Drab-in-production-and-behind-a-proxy ## Learnig Drab There is a [tutorial/demo page](https://tg.pl/drab). The point to start reading docs should be `Drab.Core`.
