primo-explore-reserves-request

Features

Allows users to submit requests for course reserves directly from the Primo catalog. Requires a server side php file to receive the request from Primo, and send as email to reserves staff. Within the app.constant options, you can indicate which user groups will see the request option.

Screenshot

Install

1. Make sure you've installed and configured primo-explore-devenv.
2. Navigate to your template/central package root directory. For example:

   cd primo-explore/custom/MY_VIEW_ID
   

3. If you do not already have a package.json file in this directory, create one:

   npm init -y
   

4. Install this package:

   npm install primo-explore-reserves-request --save-dev
   

Usage

Once this package is installed, add reservesRequest as a dependency for your custom module definition.

var app = angular.module('viewCustom', ['reservesRequest'])

Note: If you're using the --browserify build option, you will need to first import the module with:

import 'primo-explore-reserves-request';

You can configure this customization by passing the following options via reserveRequestOptions (a full example is at the bottom of this file.) :

param	type	usage
instCode	string	the short code of your institution target
formatBlacklist	array	format types for which you don't want the request option to appear (e.g. journal)
userGroupWhitelist	array	Alma user groups for which you want the request option to appear
selectProps	mixed	values for the reserves loan period select menu
targetUrl	string	URL where your PHP script lives, for converting data to email request
successMessage	html	Message users will see upon successful request
failureMessage	html	Message users will see upon failed request
primoDomain	string	Domain of your primo instance (e.g. primo.lclark.edu). Used to generate permalink for staff.
primoVid	string	VID of your Primo view. Used to generate permalink for staff.
primoScope	string	Primo scope. Used to generate permalink for staff.

For example:

/* edit these below to fit your local environment */
app.constant('reserveRequestOptions', {
  instCode : "LCC", /* code of your library  */
  formatBlacklist : ["journal", "ebook"],  /* formats for which this will not appear  */
  userGroupWhitelist : ["2","3","anotherGroup"],   /* array of whitelisted group members who will see this when authenticated    */
  selectProps : {
    "value": "3 hours", /* initial default text display in select menu  */
    "values": ["3 hours", "1 day", "3 days"], /* pulldown menu options for loan periods*/
    "loanRule" : "3 hours" /* defaut select value for <option> value*/
  },
  targetUrl : "https://mylibrary.edu/process.php", /* URL to send data to, for emailing, etc.*/
