Installation

NPM

npm install @opendevstack/ods-selector-widget

Usage

Angular

1. Import the Component

For Angular with NgModule (traditional setup):

In your app.module.ts:

import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { defineCustomElements } from '@opendevstack/ods-selector-widget/loader';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

defineCustomElements(window);

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
})
export class AppModule { }

For Angular with Standalone Components:

In your main.ts:

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';
import { defineCustomElements } from '@opendevstack/ods-selector-widget/loader';

defineCustomElements(window);

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: []
});

In your app.component.ts:

import { Component, CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  // Component logic
}

2. Configure Angular (if needed)

Note: If you encounter the error ✘ [ERROR] No loader is configured for ".map" files, you need to update your angular.json configuration.

Add the following to your architect.build.options in angular.json:

{
  "architect": {
    "build": {
      "options": {
        "customWebpackConfig": {
          "loader": {
            ".map": "empty"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Use in Template

<ods-selector-widget
  project="My Project"
  service-url="https://api.example.com/platforms/{{project}}">
</ods-selector-widget>

React

The following code demonstrates how to integrate the ODS Selector Widget into a React application with TypeScript.

import { defineCustomElements } from '@opendevstack/ods-selector-widget/loader';

// Call this once in your app initialization
defineCustomElements(window);

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <ods-selector-widget
        project="My Project"
        service-url="https://api.example.com/platforms/${project}"
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Key Points:

defineCustomElements(window): Registers the custom web component with the browser. This must be called once before rendering any <ods-selector-widget> elements.
project attribute: Sets the project name for the widget.
service-url attribute: Defines the API endpoint. Use ${project} as a template variable that gets replaced with the project name.

For better TypeScript support in React:

To enable TypeScript support for the custom element, add this to your type declarations file:

// Add to your declarations file (e.g., custom-elements.d.ts)
declare module 'react' {
  namespace JSX {
    interface IntrinsicElements {
      'ods-selector-widget': {
        project?: string;
        'service-url'?: string;
      };
    }
  }
}

Configure React + Vite (if needed)

Note: If you encounter the error No loader is configured for ".map" files in a React + Vite project, update your vite.config.js or vite.config.ts to exclude .map files from dependency optimization.

Add the following to your Vite config:

// vite.config.js or vite.config.ts
export default {
  optimizeDeps: {
    exclude: ['*.map']
  }
}

Properties

Property	Attribute	Type	Default	Description
`project`	`project`	`string`	`undefined`	The project name displayed in the widget header
`serviceUrl`	`service-url`	`string`	`undefined`	The service URL to fetch platform data. Use `${project}` as a placeholder that will be replaced with the project name

Example

<ods-selector-widget
  project="PROJECT1"
  service-url="https://api.myapp.com/platforms/${project}">
</ods-selector-widget>

API Response Format

The component expects the service URL to return JSON data in the following format:

{
  "sections": [
    {
      "section": "Select your platform",
      "tooltip": "",
      "links": [
        {
          "label": "Platform One",
          "url": "https://platform1.com",
          "abbreviation": "P1",
          "type": "platform"
        },
        {
          "label": "Platform Two",
          "url": "https://platform2.com",
          "abbreviation": "P2",
          "type": "platform",
          "disabled": true
        },
        {
          "label": "Platform Three",
          "url": "https://platform3.com",
          "abbreviation": "P3",
          "type": "platform",
          "disabled": true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "section": "Documentation",
      "tooltip": "Access project documentation and guides",
      "links": [
        {
          "label": "API Reference",
          "url": "https://docs.example.com/api",
          "tooltip": "Complete API documentation",
          "type": "external"
        },
        {
          "label": "Getting Started",
          "url": "https://docs.example.com/getting-started",
          "tooltip": "Quick start guide",
          "type": "project"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "section": "Tools",
      "tooltip": "Development and monitoring tools",
      "links": [
        {
          "label": "Dashboard",
          "url": "https://dashboard.example.com",
          "tooltip": "Project dashboard",
          "type": "external"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

API Response Schema

sections (array): Array of content sections to display. Each section can contain either platform links or regular resource links.
- section (string): Section title
- tooltip (string, optional): Tooltip text for the section header
- links (array): Array of links in this section
  - label (string): Link display text
  - url (string): Link destination URL
  - type (string): Link type - "platform", "project", or "external"
    - "platform": Renders as platform selector icons (when all links in a section are platform type)
    - "project": Renders as list item with internal link arrow icon
    - "external": Renders as list item with external link squared arrow icon
  - tooltip (string, optional): Tooltip text for the link (shown on hover for non-platform links)
  - abbreviation (string, optional): Short text shown in platform icon (required for type: "platform")
  - disabled (boolean, optional): If true, the platform link is disabled and shown as non-clickable (only applicable for type: "platform")

Rendering Behavior

The component automatically adapts its rendering based on the link types within each section:

Platform Section: If all links in a section have type: "platform", they are rendered as clickable platform icons in a horizontal layout. This is typically used for the main platform selector section.
Link List Section: If a section contains any non-platform links (type: "project" or type: "external"), all links in that section are rendered as a vertical list with appropriate arrow icons split in two columns.

Example:

{
  "sections": [
    {
      "section": "Platforms",
      "links": [
        { "label": "Platform 1", "url": "...", "abbreviation": "P1", "type": "platform" },
        { "label": "Platform 2", "url": "...", "abbreviation": "P2", "type": "platform" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The example above renders as platform icons

{
  "sections": [
    {
      "section": "Resources",
      "links": [
        { "label": "Documentation", "url": "...", "type": "external" },
        { "label": "Dashboard", "url": "...", "type": "project" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The example above renders as a list with arrow/squared arrow icons.

Styling

The component uses CSS custom properties (CSS variables) for easy theming. You can override these in your stylesheet:

Publishing to npm

Prerequisites

An npmjs.com account with access to the @opendevstack scope.
You must be logged in to the npm registry: npm login

Steps

1. Build the package

The dist/ and loader/ directories (declared in the files field of package.json) are generated by the build step and must be up to date before publishing.

npm run build

2. Bump the version

Update the version field in package.json following Semantic Versioning, then record the change in CHANGELOG.md.

# patch: bug fixes  →  0.2.0 → 0.2.1
npm version patch

# minor: new backwards-compatible features  →  0.2.0 → 0.3.0
npm version minor

# major: breaking changes  →  0.2.0 → 1.0.0
npm version major

npm version automatically updates package.json and creates a git tag.

3. Run tests

Make sure all tests pass before publishing.

npm test

4. Publish

The package is scoped to @opendevstack, so you need to explicitly opt in to publishing it as a public package:

npm publish --access public

What gets published

Only the contents of the files array in package.json are included in the tarball:

Directory	Contents
`dist/`	Compiled component bundles, type declarations, and collection manifest
`loader/`	Custom Elements loader for lazy-loading in Angular/React apps

You can preview the exact file list without publishing by running:

npm pack --dry-run
