Configuration

In order to configure the Form Service with the Console you need to deploy two services, Chat Service Backend and the Chat Service Frontend. Both are available in the Marketplace.

  1. To display the Chat Service Frontend UI, create the service searching for it in the Console Marketplace. Choose a name for the new service (e.g. chat-service-frontend).
  2. Create the endpoint for the newly created microservice, for example /chat-service.
  3. Be sure the Chat Service Backend has been configured to ensure the route GET /chat/config?clientType=web is properly served.

Configure the Chat Service Backend following this guide before using the Chat Service Frontend.

Integration

Once configured the endpoints of the Form Service, you can use it as a micro-lc plugin following this guide or as a CMS custom frontend following this guide.

Integration with micro-lc

In order to use the Form Service Frontend integrated with micro-lc, the core configuration plugin parameters documentation should also be consulted. As an example, with a frontend service endpoint equal to /form-service and a qiankun plugin integration qiankun, developers can add a Form Builder plugin using this example micro-lc plugins configuration:

{
...
"plugins": [
{
"id": "chats",
"label": "Chat",
"icon": "fas fa-file-alt",
"order": 0,
"integrationMode": "qiankun",
"pluginRoute": "/chat-service",
"pluginUrl": "/chat-service/",
"props": {}
}
]
...
}

Advanced configurations

It's possible to take advantage of the microlc prop forwarding and Stream Chat Filters to create custom configurations. For example, the following is the configuration for

{
"id": "chats",
"label": "Chat",
"aclExpression": "groups.superadmin || groups.admin || groups.doctor",
"icon": "fas fa-comment",
"order": 400,
"content": [
{
"id": "opened-chats",
"label": "Chat aperte",
"order": 401,
"integrationMode": "qiankun",
"pluginRoute": "/opened-chats/",
"pluginUrl": "/chat-service/'",
"props": {
"filters": {
"frozen": false
}
}
},
{
"id": "closed-chats",
"label": "Chat chiuse",
"order": 402,
"integrationMode": "qiankun",
"pluginRoute": "/closed-chats/",
"pluginUrl": "/chat-service/",
"props": {
"filters": {
"frozen": true
}
}
}
]
}
]
}
