Tip: Adding Dynamic BreadCrumbs

Whilst you are able to add breadcrumbs that can remain static, you can also add breadcrumbs that are dependent on content that changes at runtime.

On Initialize of the component, we create a empty breadcrumb item. The variable has been defined as a global variable

B4X: 
'we add a container
Dim contApps As VueElement = vuetify.AddContainer(Me, appusers.Here, "contappusers", True)
    appusers.BindVueElement(contApps)
    contApps.AddRows1.AddColumns12
    contApps.AddRows1.AddColumns5.AddColumns2.AddColumns5
    contApps.BuildGrid
    
'get the r1c1 element and add a toolbar
    Dim r1c1 As VueElement = contApps.Cell(1, 1)
    'add a toolbar
    Dim tbl1 As VueElement = r1c1.AddToolbar("tblappusers", "", Null)
    tbl1.Flat = True
    'add breadcrumbs
    appuserbc = tbl1.AddBreadCrumbs("appusersbc")
    appuserbc.Large = True
    appusers.BindVueElement(appuserbc)
    '
    tbl1.AddSpacer
    'when the page shows, executes the onshow subroutine
    appusers.SetMounted(Me, "onshow", Null)
    'add the component as a router
    vuetify.AddRoute(appusers)

The onshow subroutine, we define a few items we need to build our breadcrumbs

B4X: 
Sub onshow            'ignoreDeadCode
    'get the active app
    Dim activeapp As Map = vuetify.GetData("activeapp")
    Dim sapkname As String = activeapp.GetDefault("apkname", "")
    Dim sapkversion As String = activeapp.GetDefault("apkversion", "")
    Log(activeapp)
    'update the breadcrumbs
    appuserbc.ClearItems
    'add all breadcrumbs
    appuserbc.AddBreadCrumbItem("Home", "/", True, "", True, False)
    appuserbc.AddBreadCrumbItem("Apps", "/apps", True, "", True, False)
    appuserbc.AddBreadCrumbItem($"${sapkname} Version: ${sapkversion}"$, "", True, "", True, False)
    appuserbc.AddBreadCrumbItem("Users", "", True, "", True, False)
    appuserbc.RefreshItems(appusers)
End Sub

Output. As an example in this page we want to show all users for the Preventa... app

To add static breadcrumbs, you do them on the initialize call of the component route.

For example, ouput,

1614072285277.png


B4X: 
'add a container to hold the user groups
    Dim contUserGroup As VueElement = vuetify.AddContainer(Me, usergroups.Here, "contUserGroup", True)
    contUserGroup.AddRows2.AddColumns12
    contUserGroup.BuildGrid
    '
    'add breadcrumbs
    Dim appsbc As VueElement = contUserGroup.MatrixElement(1, 1).AddBreadCrumbs("ugbc")
    appsbc.Large = True
    appsbc.AddBreadCrumbItem("Home", "/", True, "", True, False)
    appsbc.AddBreadCrumbItem("User Groups", usergroups.Path, True, "", True, False)
    usergroups.BindVueElement(appsbc)

Now when you click Home, the home page will be opened. Clicking user groups will not have an effect here as you are on the same page.

Tip: Blurring Elements

If you don't want an element to be clear you can blur it.

1614114778174.png


1. We have created a container component, we set the blurring state variable. By fault, its false after you bind the vue element

B4X: 
Dim contUsers As VueElement = vuetify.AddContainer(Me, users.Here, "contusers", True)
    contUsers.Blurred = "contusersblurred"
    users.BindVueElement(contUsers)
    contUsers.AddRows2.AddColumns12
    contUsers.BuildGrid

To change the blurring state at runtime, turning it on / off.

B4X: 
users.SetData("contusersblurred", True)

Tip: Using the global store to control state - more like Vuex

Whilst one is able to vuetify.SetData("blurred", true) and vuetify.GetData("blurred") to set and get global state in any component, making these "variables" work with component state is only available with the "store"

The store in BVAD3 works like VueX

Its seems with the latest release of VueJS 3, the use of Vuex is something that is rather built in. I read an article about whether it was feasible and necessary to change to VueJS3, well, time will tell, at the moment there is no real need to ad BVAD3 has been working without issues and has been able to outperform both the 1st and 2nd iterations as it has been developed differently.

Anyway. To be able to set states that can be assigned to element properties, one is able to use the BVAD3 store.

For example, to set and get state, one executes vuetify.SetStore("blurred", true) and to get execute vuetify.GetStore("blurred").

To demonstrate lets look at this gif.

QAnalysisPerRegion.gif


1. On the top right of the navbar we have a switch.

B4X: 
'   Dim appblur As VueElement = appbar.AddSwitch("appblur", "blurred", "Blur", Null, Null, vuetify.COLOR_GREEN, True, Null)
    vuetify.BindVueElement(appblur)

We then set the initial values and then set the store value on .Initialize

B4X: 
vuetify.SetData("blurred", False)
    vuetify.SetStore("blurred", False)

2. We want to detect and apply blurring each time the switch changes, so we trap the change event. What this does is to update the "store" variable, blurred.

B4X: 
Sub appblur_change(value As Object)
    'get the value
    vuetify.SetStore("blurred", value)
End Sub

3. Now, in each route component, we want to ensure that the blurring is applied. So when we create the master container in each component, we tell it that the blurred state should be obtained from the store.

B4X: 
Dim contHouse As VueElement = vuetify.AddContainer(Me, rdp.Here, "contcountbyregion", True)
    contHouse.Blurred = "$store.blurred"
    contHouse.AddRows1.AddColumns12 
    contHouse.BuildGrid

So what this does is to ensure that each time the switch changes, the store is changed and this filters to each component we have set.

This has been possible with the use of the Vue.Observable method.

Ta!

Part 49: Section 1

With part 49, section 1, we do things a little differently. I have been inspired and then worked on the drawer a little bit to do more. We add containers, lists, cards etc to the drawer. With some color coding it appears a little nice.

Download

ApplicantsDashboard.png


By default, when adding columns, the columns for small devices are always set to 12. We did not need these, so we have removed those attributes. This ensures that the drawer resizes itself well even in small devices

B4X: 
drwcont.Cell(1, 1).RemoveAttr("xs")
    drwcont.Cell(1, 1).RemoveAttr("cols")
    '
    drwcont.Cell(1, 2).RemoveAttr("xs")
    drwcont.Cell(1, 2).RemoveAttr("cols")

Ta!
