UI Activation

Each UI project is designed as an extension of the Atoti UI “host application”. This section explains how you can easily combine these extensions into a running Atoti Sign-Off application.

Activating Atoti Sign-Off

warning

Atoti Sign-Off is only compatible with versions of Atoti UI greater than or equal to 5.2.6.

  1. Download and set up the Atoti UI ~5.2.6 starter application.

    info

    See the Atoti UI tutorial on how to set up the UI.

  2. To activate Atoti Sign-Off, make the following changes:

    In package.json:

    "dependencies": {
    +   "@activeviam/signoff-sdk": 6.0.1,
    +   "@tanstack/react-query": ^5.8.1,
     ...
      }
    

    In index.tsx, import and use the activate function, including the Cube-specific and Atoti Sign-Off module settings:

    + import { activate } from "@activeviam/signoff-sdk";
    
    const extension: ExtensionModule = {
      activate: async (configuration) => {
        ...
    +   activate({
    +     configuration,
    +     moduleSettings: {
    +      // add module settings here.
    +     },
         });
      }
    }
    

    In env.development.js and env.production.js, ensure the following exist:

    • A server used as the Content Server
    • An Atoti Sign-Off server with the key “SignOff”
    • All other application servers with their respective keys

    Here is an example of the Atoti Sign-Off module being configured with a Market Risk application server:

    window.env = {
       contentServer: {
          url: "http://localhost:10010/mr-application",
          version: "6.1.0",
       },
       jwtServer: {
          url: "http://localhost:10010/mr-application",
          version: "6.1.0",
       },
       atotiServers: {
          MR: {
             url: "http://localhost:10010/mr-application",
             version: "6.1.0",
          },
          SignOff: {
             url: "http://localhost:9090",
             version: "6.1.0",
          }
       }
    };
    
  3. Build and run the starter, now with the Atoti Sign-Off features enabled. Each Atoti Business Solution comes with an activate function built to work seamlessly with the standard Atoti UI App. These activate functions accept the configuration object from the Atoti UI App, and mutate it to include all the features from that specific solution.

Optional activation

In addition to this, you have the option to use the activateIfServerIsAvailable helper function from @activiam/activation (> 5.2.0) in conjunction with the activate function. This optional helper function will first attempt to ping the associated server before activating the solution. It can also run additional code in case the server is unreachable, using the onServerNotReached optional callback.

Additionally, you can provide your own call to action message to be displayed using the optional callToActionMessage property on activateIfServerIsAvailable. In particular, if you implement a specific response to the server being unavailable, the steps a user need or need not take will be different from the default call to action.

Below is an example of how to use activateIfServerIsAvailable alongside the activate function:

import {
  Configuration,
  ExtensionModule,
} from "@activeviam/atoti-ui-sdk";
import { activate } from "@activeviam/signoff-sdk";
import { activateIfServerIsAvailable } from "@activeviam/activation";

const extension: ExtensionModule = {
  activate: async (configuration: Configuration) => {
    await activateIfServerIsAvailable({
      configuration,
      activateFn: () => {
        activate({
         configuration,
         moduleSettings: {
          // add module settings here.
         },
        });
      },
      serverKey: "SignOff",
      onServerNotReached: () => {
        //If the server at serverKey "FRTB" is not available, this function will run.
      },
      callToActionMessage:
        "Custom error notification text to be displayed if the server is unavailable.",
    });
  }
}

Configuring Atoti Sign-Off

The example above activates Atoti Sign-Off with a default configuration and default settings. Here’s how to modify them.

Change the configuration

The configuration parameter is the entry-point to configuring the Atoti UI “host application”. It is supplied to the activate function that modifies it to add the Atoti Sign-Off features. If you want to make changes like adding or removing a plugin, changing the application’s title or adding an HOC, you can modify the configuration object after invoking activate.

For example:

const extension: ExtensionModule = {
  activate: async (configuration) => {
    // default application name
    configuration.applicationName = "AtotiUI";
     ...
    // changes the application name to Atoti Sign-Off
    activate({
       configuration,
       moduleSettings: {
        // module settings go here
       },
    });
    // Customized application name
    configuration.applicationName = "My Atoti Sign-Off";
  },
};

Change the settings

In addition to the required moduleSettings, the activate function accepts an optional settings and basSettings argument to let you configure the Atoti Sign-Off features and the BAS features respectively. You can use the default values exported from the SDK as an override basis:

import { activate, settings, basSettings } from "@activeviam/signoff-sdk";

const extension: ExtensionModule = {
  activate: async (configuration) => {
    ...
    activate({
      configuration,
      moduleSettings: {
        // module settings go here
      },
      settings: {
        ...settings,
        ...{
          // customize here
        }
      },
      basSettings: {
        ...basSettings,
        ...{
          // customize here
        }
      }
    });
  },
};

Combining Atoti Sign-Off with other solutions or modules

To combine multiple solutions and modules, simply repeat the steps in the combined SDK’s “Activating” section.

warning

You can only combine solution SDKs that have an Atoti UI peer dependency greater than or equal to 5.2.6.

Example:

import { activate as signoffActivate } from "@activeviam/signoff-sdk";
import { activate as mrActivate } from "@activeviam/mr-sdk";

const extension: ExtensionModule = {
  activate: async (configuration) => {
    ...
    signoffActivate(
      configuration,
      moduleSettings: {
        // module settings go here
      }
    );
    mrActivate({ configuration });
  },
};
