Note: this guide assumes a basic understanding of React concepts and lifecycle.
For React documentation click here.

You can find a set of reusable components under jsx/ directory of your Loris installation. The list is continuously expanding, so watch out for updates.

StaticDataTable

API

Optional props are in [] brackets.

Props	Type	Description
`Headers`	`array`	Headers of the given table
`Data`	`array`	Data to be shown in the table
`[RowNumLabel]`	`string`	Header of the first column of every table (Default: 'No.')
`[getFormattedCell]`	`function`	Signature: `function formatColumn(column, cell, rowData, rowHeaders){}` Return: JSX element for a table cell

LorisElement

Loris element is a generic component that receives a JSON representation of the element and renders an appropriate component from the list above. It infers the type of the element to be rendered from element.type property.

Usage

// The element will typically be received in the PHP LorisForm format, 
// but can also be defined as a Javascript object.

const el = {
  type: "select",
  // other props
}

<LorisElement
  element={element}          // JSON representation of a form element
  onUserInput={function(){}} // Optional callback function
  value={"123"}              // Optional props supported by the target element.
/>

FilterForm

Overview

FilterForm component renders a 'Selection Filter' panel with form elements, as seen in the screenshot below.

Main functionality

Adds onUpdate callbacks to all children elements and passes them to FormElement for proper form rendering.
Updates filter object values to correspond to formElement values and propagates changes to parent component on every update. (This is particularly useful to filter StaticDataTable by filter values).
Updates browser query string using QueryString utility class in order to have persistent data in form fields across page updates

API

Props	Type	Description
`Module`	`string`	Module name
`filter`	`object`	An object containing the current values of form elements inside the filter
`formElements`	`object`	List of form elements in `json` format
`[id]`	`string`	Unique FilterForm id. Default: 'selection-filter'
`[height]`	`string`	The height of the selection filter panel. Default: 100%
`[title]`	`string`	Text displayed in the title bar of the panel. Default: 'Selection Filter'
`[onUpdate]`	`function`	Callback function triggered on input change in one of the form elements

Usage

Passing form elements as a prop.
- Particularly useful when converting existing Loris selection filters from PHP to React.
- In the example below, this.state.Data.form contains JSON encoded value of $this->form->form returned from PHP backend.

// Renders a Selection Filter (as seen on the screenshot above)
// Form elements are passed to <FilterForm /> as a formElements prop.
<FilterForm
  Module="media"
  name="media_filter"
  id="media_filter"
  columns={3}
  formElements={this.state.Data.form}
  onUpdate={this.updateFilter}    // Update filter on FilterForm update
  filter={this.state.filter}	  // Keep track of filter in the parent class
>
  <br/>
  <ButtonElement type="reset" label="Clear Filters" />
</FilterForm>

Passing form elements as children of <FilterForm />

// Renders a Selection Filter 
// Form elements are passed as children element of the <FilterForm />
<FilterForm
  Module="dicom_archive"
  name="dicom_filter"
  id="dicom_filter"
  columns={2}
  onUpdate={this.updateFilter}  // Update filter on FilterForm update
  filter={this.state.filter}    // Keep track of filter in the parent class
>
  <TextboxElement
    name={patientName}
    label="Patient Name"
  />
  <SelectElement
    name={site}
    label="Sites"
    options={siteList}
  />
  <ButtonElement
    label="Clear Filters"
    type="reset"
  />
</FilterForm>

Tabs

Tabs.js consist of two React components <Tabs/> and <TabPane/> that are used together to render a Bootstrap tab UI with dynamic content. The screenshot below demonstrates an example of React tabs as used in media module.

API

Tabs

Props	Type	Description
`tabs`	`array`	Array of tab objects consisting of and ID and a label
`[defaultTab]`	`string`	ID of the tab to display on page load. Overridden by tab ID from `updateURL` if any. Default: the first tab from tabs array.
`[updateURL]`	`bool`	If set to `true`, the component will look for `#tab-id` in the browser query string in order to open appropriate tab on page load. Default: `false`
`[onTabChange]`	`function`	Callback function invoked on tab change

TabPane

Props	Type	Description
`TabID`	`string`	Binds tab content pane, to the appropriate tab "button"
`[Title]`	`string`	Optional title to display on top of the tab content
`activeTab`	`string`	Passed automatically by `<Tabs/>` to determine wether the tab content should be displayed based on the currently active tab value.

Usage

Define an array of tabs with unique IDs and labels

const tabList = [{id: "tab1", label: "This is tab title"}];`

Pass tabList as <Tab> prop and <TabPane> as a child

<Tabs tabs={tabList} defaultTab="tab1">
  
  <TabPane TabId={tabList[0].id}>
  // Tab content goes here
  </TabPane>
  
  // Add a <TabPane/> component per tab
  
</Tabs>

Note: when a large number of tabs is required, the creation of tab panes can be automated in a loop. See CandidateParameters for an example of such usage.

Panel

Wrapper around bootstrap panel. Can be used as a standalone component or nested inside a parent (example FilterForm)

API

Props	Type	Description
`[id]`	`string`	Panel id. Needs to be unique if multiple panels are used on the same page. Default: 'default-panel'
`[height]`	`string`	Height of the panel component. Default: '100%'
`[title]`	`string`	Text shown in the title bar of the panel. Default: If not specified, the title bar is not shown.
`[initCollapsed]`	`bool`	Initial state of the panel (collapsed = closed). Default: false

Usage

<Panel id="log_panel" title="Log Viewer">
  // Children components shown inside the panel
</Panel>

Breadcrumbs

Wrapper around bootstrap breadcrumbs used for uniquely navigation on Loris website. For usage see htdocs/main.tpl

PaginationLinks

Component used by StaticDataTable to add pagination to table results.

API

Props	Type	Description
`Total`	`number`	Total number of table rows in the table
`RowsPerPage`	`number`	Number of table rows per page
`Active`	`number`	Index of the currently displayed page
`onChangePage`	`function`	Callback function invoked on page change

Usage

<PaginationLinks
  Total={100}
  RowsPerPage={20}
  Active={1}
  onChangePage={this.changePage} // Defined within parent
/>

Markdown

Markdown component is used to render markdown text into HTML by way of JSX.

Only very basic markdown is supported. In particular:

Paragraphs can be delineated with an empty line.
**text** or __text__ will bold the text. *text* or _text_ will italicize it.
Up to six header levels can be supported by starting a paragraph with (up to 6) # characters.
Links can be added with [text](url)

This should be enough to write help documents in Markdown, even without the more complicated features that markdown should support.

API

Props	Type	Description
`content`	`string`	A string containing text in markdown format

MultiSelectDropdown

Used uniquely by Data Query Tool.

For generic <select/> and multiselect dropdown, use SelectElement from Form.js
