# ExEffectiveBootstrap

Everything your Phoenix Elixir app needs to get working with Twitter Bootstrap 4.

Forms, icons, and view helpers.

## Installation

Add `ex_effective_bootstrap` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:ex_effective_bootstrap, "~> 0.1.17"}
  ]
end
```

Then `mix deps.get`

## Setup

Add to your `app_web/app_web.ex`:

```
def view do
  quote do
    use Phoenix.HTML
    use ExEffectiveBootstrap.View
  end
end
```

Add to your `assets/package.json`:

```
"dependencies": {
  "bootstrap": "^4.3.1",
  "jquery": "^3.4.1",
  "popper.js": "^1.16.0",
  "phoenix": "file:../deps/phoenix",
  "phoenix_html": "file:../deps/phoenix_html",
  "ex_effective_bootstrap": "file../deps/ex_effective_bootstrap"
},
"devDependencies": {
  "expose-loader": "^0.7.5",
}
```

Add a rule to use the expose-loader in your `webpack.config.js`:

```
module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: require.resolve('jquery'),
      use: [
        { loader: 'expose-loader', options: '$' },
        { loader: 'expose-loader', options: 'jQuery' }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

(see below for a full working app `webpack.config.js` example)

Add to your `app.js`:

```
import css from "../css/app.scss"

import $ from "jquery"

window.jQuery = $;
window.$ = $;

import "bootstrap"
import "ex_effective_bootstrap"

// Use the following for an effective_form_for() form
// inside a Phoenix LiveView live_render()
import { EffectiveFormLiveSocketHooks } from "ex_effective_bootstrap"
let Hooks = {}
Hooks.EffectiveForm = new EffectiveFormLiveSocketHooks

import { Socket } from "phoenix"
import LiveSocket from "phoenix_live_view"

let liveSocket = new LiveSocket("/live", Socket, {hooks: Hooks});
liveSocket.connect();
```

Then in the `app/assets/` folder, `npm install`. Good luck.

Sanity check the javascript is working in the browser console:

```
console.log($.fn.jquery)
"3.4.1"

console.log(EffectiveForm.version())
"0.0.1"
```

Add to your `app.scss`:

```
@import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
@import "../../deps/ex_effective_bootstrap/priv/static/ex_effective_bootstrap";
```

You should now have access to a wide range of beautiful, effective forms inputs and time saving view helpers!

## Errors

Use the following to get a string representation of errors.

```
ExEffectiveBootstrap.Errors.get(form_or_changeset)
ExEffectiveBootstrap.Errors.get(form_or_changeset, :foo)
```

## Forms

Use `effective_form_for`, a light wrapper around phoenix `form_for`, and the `input f` syntax for
[Bootstrap4 Forms](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/forms/) html-exact forms with
client side validation.

```
<%= effective_form_for @changeset, @action, fn f -> %>
  <%= input f, :email %>
  <%= input f, :password %>
  <%= effective_submit "Save" %>
<% end %>
```

or

```
<%= f = effective_form_for @changeset, @action %>
  <%= input f, :name, hint: "This name will be used throughout the site" %>
  <%= input f, :description, label: "Description", class: "special-class" %>
  <%= input f, :notes, as: :textarea, rows: 9 %>
  <%= input f, :category, select: ["Group A", "Group B", "Group C"], selected: "Group B" %>
  <%= input f, :regions, multiple_select: ["Region A", "Region B", "Region C"] %>
  <%= effective_submit() %>
</form>
```

## Form inputs

The following form inputs have been implemented, basically matching
[Phoenix.HTML.Form](https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_html/blob/master/lib/phoenix_html/form.ex)

The `as: type` is totally optional, `input` will automatically detect the correct input type most of the time.

```
<%= input f, :foo, as: :text_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :email_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :number_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :password_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :url_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :search_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :telephone_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :date_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :hidden_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :textarea %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :file_input %>
<%= input f, :foo, as: :checkbox %>
<%= input f, :foo, select: options %>
<%= input f, :foo, multiple_select: options %>
<%= input f, :foo, radios: options %>
<%= input f, :foo, radios: options, buttons: true %>
<%= input f, :foo, radios: options, inline: true %>

<%= input f, :foo, checks: options %> # TODO
<%= input f, :foo, as: :time_input %> # TODO
<%= input f, :foo, as: :radio_button %> # TODO

<%= error f, :foo %>
<%= errors f %>
```

Every input can be passed any options, such as:

```
<%= input f, :foo, label: "Nice Foo", hint: "Accept only the best", valid: "Looks great!", invalid: "Bad foo!" %>
<%= input f, :foo, "data-input-foo": "bar", class: "input-foo", wrapper: ["data-wrapper-foo": "bar", class: "wrap-foo"] %>
```

Using `append` and `prepend` can be fun to make input groups:

```
<%= input f, :song, prepend: icon(:music) %>
<%= input f, :song, prepend: [text: [icon(:music), "Song:"], class: "my-song-input-group"] %>
```

## Form inputs for

Easily build nested has_many associations from the parent form.

This was inspired by the ruby gem [cocoon](https://github.com/nathanvda/cocoon).

In your parent:

```
schema "posts" do
  has_many :comments, Comment
end

def changeset(post, params \\ %{}) do
  post
  |> cast(params, [:title])
  |> validate_required([:title])
  |> cast_assoc(:comments, with: &Comment.changeset/2)
end
```

In your child:

```
schema "comments" do
  belongs_to :post, Post
end

def changeset(comment, params \\ %{}) do
  comment
  |> cast(params, [:post_id, ..., :delete])
  |> mark_for_deletion()
end

# If delete was set and it is true, let's change the action
defp mark_for_deletion(changeset) do
  if get_change(changeset, :delete) do
    %{changeset | action: :delete}
  else
    changeset
  end
end
```

Then create a form for the post (this will work with a form_for or effective_form_for):

```
<%= effective_form_for @changeset, @action, fn f -> %>
  <%= input f, :title %>
  <%= input f, :body%>

  <%= effective_inputs_for f, :comments, fn comment -> %>
    <%= render("_comment_fields.html", form: comment) %>
  <% end %>

  <%= effective_submit() %>
<% end %>
```

And create a `_comment_fields.html.eex` in the same folder as the post form template:

```
<div class="nested-fields">
  <%= if @form.data.id do %>
    <%= hidden_input @form, :id %>
  <% end %>

  <%= hidden_input @form, :post_id %>

  <%= input @form, :title %>
  <%= input @form, :body %>

  <%= effective_inputs_for_remove_link(@form, :delete) %>
</div>
```

The template must start with `<div class="nested-fields">`.


## Phoenix LiveView

The form library can work with LiveView.

Make sure your javascript is including the `EffectiveFormLiveSocketHooks`, as above.

And otherwise, just write a regular liveview form:

```
<%= effective_form_for @changeset, "#", [phx_submit: :save], fn f -> %>
  <%= input f, :foo %>
  <%= effective_submit() %>
<% end %>
```

## Icons

Unfortunately, Bootstrap 4 dropped support for glyphicons, so we package a combination of [Feather Icons](https://feathericons.com) and [FontAwesome](https://fontawesome.com) .svg images (no webfonts).

```
<%= icon("check") %> # <svg class='eb-icon eb-icon-check' ...>
<%= icon("x", class: "small-1") %>
<%= icon("wifi", class: "big-3") %>

<%= link ["Next", icon("arrow-right")], to: "/", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
```

[List of all available icons](https://github.com/code-and-effect/ex_effective_bootstrap/tree/master/priv/icons)

## Validators

These all work on an Ecto Schema changeset.

```
alias ExEffectiveBootstrap.Validate

def changeset(post, params \\ %{}) do
  post
  |> cast(params, [:name, :phone])
  |> validate_required([:name])
  |> Validate.telephone(:phone)
end
```

## View Helpers

### Alerts

[Bootstrap Alerts](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/alerts/)

The alerts are dismissable.

```
<%= alert(:danger, "This is bad") %>
<%= alert(:success, "You did it!") %>
```

### Collapse

[Bootstrap Collapse](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/collapse/)

```
<%= collapse("Click to expand") do %>
  <p>This is the expanded content</p>
<% end %>
```

### Flash

Creates a bootstrap alert for each flash message in the phoenix conn.

```
<%= flash_alert(@conn) %>
```

### Nav Link

[Bootstrap Navs](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navs/)

Bootstrap nav_link for use on a navbar.
Automatically puts in the "active" class when on conn.request_path

```
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark">
  <a class="navbar-brand" href="/">My Brand!</a>

  <button class="navbar-toggler" data-aria-controls="navContent" data-aria-label="Toggle navigation" data-target="#navContent" data-toggle="collapse" type="button">
    <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
  </button>

  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navContent">
    <ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
      <%= nav_link(@conn, "Root", to: "/) %>
      <%= nav_link(@conn, "Posts", to: Routes.post_path(@conn, :index)) %>
    </ul>
  </div>
</nav>
```

### Show If / Hide If

Works with javascript to show/hide the content when the input or select field value is changed

```
<%= input f, :status, select: ["active", "disabled"]

<%= show_if(f, :status, "active") do %>
  <p>This is displayed when the status select field option is "active"</p>
<% end %>

<%= hide_if(f, :status, "active") do %>
  <p>This is hidden when the status select field option is "active"</p>
<% end %>
```

### Tabs

[Bootstrap Tabs](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navs/#tabs)

```
<%= tabs do %>
  <%= tab("One") do %>
    <p>This is tab one</p>
  <% end %>

  <%= tab("Two") do %>
    <p>This is tab two</p>
  <% end %>
<% end %>
```

You can specify the `active: "Two"` tab to activate. As well as pass content for a badge on the tab.

```
<%= tabs(active: "Two", class: "asdf") do %>
  <%= tab "One" %>
  <%= tab "Two", 30 %>
  <%= tab "Three", content_tag(:span, 24, class: "badge badge-info") %>
<% end %>
```

## Example app files

Here's my app's `assets/js/app.js`:

```
import css from "../css/app.scss"

import $ from "jquery"

window.jQuery = $;
window.$ = $;

import "bootstrap"
import "phoenix_html"
import "ex_effective_bootstrap"

import { EffectiveFormLiveSocketHooks } from "ex_effective_bootstrap"
let Hooks = {}
Hooks.EffectiveForm = new EffectiveFormLiveSocketHooks

import { Socket } from "phoenix"
import LiveSocket from "phoenix_live_view"

let liveSocket = new LiveSocket("/live", Socket, {hooks: Hooks});
liveSocket.connect();
```

Here's my `assets/css/app.scss`:

```
// App specific
@import "bootstrap_overrides";
@import "forms";

// For bootstrap and ex_effective_bootstrap sass deps
@import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
@import "../../deps/ex_effective_bootstrap/priv/static/ex_effective_bootstrap";
```

Here's my `webpack.config.js`:

```
const path = require('path');
const glob = require('glob');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
const MinifyPlugin = require('babel-minify-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = (env, options) => ({
  entry: {
    './js/app.js': glob.sync('./vendor/**/*.js').concat(['./js/app.js'])
  },
  output: {
    filename: 'app.js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../priv/static/js')
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: require.resolve('jquery'),
        use: [
          { loader: 'expose-loader', options: '$' },
          { loader: 'expose-loader', options: 'jQuery' }
        ]
      },
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: 'babel-loader'
        }
      },
      {
        test: /\.s?css$/,
        use: [MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, 'css-loader', 'sass-loader']
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    new MiniCssExtractPlugin({ filename: '../css/app.css' }),
    new MinifyPlugin(),
    new CopyWebpackPlugin([{ from: 'static/', to: '../' }])
  ]
});
```
