[draw.io] Deployment config + .vsdx support #4337

VirtualEvan · 2020-11-18T12:23:05Z

Description

This PR allows to import .vsdx (Microsoft Visio files) directly from OC.
Once the file is open, if saved, a new <filename>_<timestamp>.drawio file is created with the modifications. (This avoids overwriting the original file with XML content). A message informing this should be shown ( [Bug] Messages not shown in fullscreen apps #4335 )
By default, the draw-io app now points to https://embed.diagrams.net (The official embed-specific draw.io server)

If specified, the configuration in config.json will be used for the connections to draw.io (server url, autosave and theme)

{
  ...
  "applications": [
    {
      "title": {
        "en": "draw-io"
      },
      "url": "https://custom.draw.io.url",
      "autosave": true,
      "theme": "atlas"
    }
  ]
}

I have a couple of questions regarding the implementation of these functionalities.

I could not find a way to get the file permissions from inside an app, can that be achieved somehow? I am interest in knowing if the current user has read-only permissions on the open diagram.
The only place I found situable to put the draw.io configuration settings was the "applications" array in config.json as there are similar configurations for other apps. However, as it is an array, it is necessary to filter by the title and en (english name), in order to get the right app.
Is there some other place where this information could be set in a more optimal and reliable way? Or maybe change it from being an array to be a named object? Not sure how this change would affect other functionalities of Phoenix.

You could do a call via our sdk - this.$client.files.fileInfo(filePath, ['{http://owncloud.org/ns}permissions'])

The only place I found situable to put the draw.io configuration settings was the "applications" array in config.json...

This will be possible after merging #4380. Applications array is only for displaying the app in the app switcher. The config shouldn't be used for settings outside of that. Otherwise, there's also settings service which enables you to create a settings bundle for extension https://owncloud.github.io/extensions/settings/bundles For this basic config it might be too much effort though.

apps/draw-io/src/DrawIoEditor.vue

+          enabled: true
+        }
+      })
+      fetch(url, { headers })


Wouldn't this method work here? https://github.com/owncloud/owncloud-sdk/blob/c4b96e0b50bf989e792899913fe3a70fd1698b43/src/fileManagement.js#L76

I tried with getFileContent, but it looks like we cannot specify the responsetype. Drawio is able to handle the vsdx file as base64, so we need the file itself insted of its content. Also tried to re-create the file from its binary content, but I could not find a way to do so, the resultant file was always different.

Sorry for the delay, I've been quite busy and wanted to test as much as possible before comming back to you

You could do a call via our sdk - this.$client.files.fileInfo(filePath, ['{http://owncloud.org/ns}permissions'])

I am trying to show diagrams in chromeless mode when they are read-only.
The SDK allowed me to know if the file is read-only, but as it is asychronous I had to delay the render until the response is ready.

This will be possible after merging #4380. Applications array is only for displaying the app in the app switcher. The config shouldn't be used for settings outside of that...

By this I understand that the applications array should not be used to store configuration specific to applications, but the external_apps can be used for this, is it right? I added it under external_apps and was able to get it directly from the store.

Is the delay okay or does it cause some issues? AFAICT the delay shouldn't take too long so from users POV it shouldn't be a big problem.

Correct. Nice!

LukasHirt · 2020-12-07T15:28:47Z

Can you try to rebase the PR? It might solve the failing tests.

As no locales are being used, is not necessary to load them This and the moment.js usage can be removed if the creation of the new .drawio file is managed with a modal instead of adding a timestamp to the filename

VirtualEvan · 2020-12-08T10:01:23Z

Rebasing fixed the issue with the tests, thanks!

It is not a problem in my local instance, but I was not sure how long could it take for other people with different/more complex setups. If you think it is OK then is perfect! :)

Nice 🚀

LukasHirt · 2020-12-09T09:12:03Z

@VirtualEvan Let me pls know if there's something left you would like to commit here or if I can hit the merge button 😉

VirtualEvan · 2020-12-09T10:02:34Z

No, I think that's all. Please merge :)

Do you want me to add some documentation somewhere mentioning the options that can be configured for the app?

"external_apps": [
  {
    "id": "draw-io",
    "path": "this_should_exist_and_cannot_be_empty",
    "config": {
      "url": "https://drawio.web.cern.ch",
      "autosave": true,
      "theme": "atlas"
    }
  }
]

By the way, I noticed that for external apps, path is mandatory.
If it does not exist or is empty, then everything fails. Just putting a dummy value makes it work.
Not sure if it's a bug or if I missed something.

LukasHirt · 2020-12-09T10:08:19Z

Do you want me to add some documentation somewhere mentioning the options that can be configured for the app?

That would be awesome to have it documented. Maybe you could put it in the sample config.json files? If you want to add it here, I'll wait with the merging 😉 Thank you!

By the way, I noticed that for external apps, path is mandatory.

Yep, both id and path are mandatory. Without the path, the frontend doesn't know where to locate the app. I know that it's now creating confusion with the apps array where drawio is loaded. If you check the console, there should be actually a 404 error. That could be fixed by specifying the correct path and removing drawio from apps array to prevent having the app loaded twice.

VirtualEvan · 2020-12-09T10:49:19Z

OK, I think I got it.
Added default configuration to the oc10 and ocis sample config.json files

Let me know if there is something else I can add that could be helpful

LukasHirt · 2020-12-09T10:51:31Z

Thank you! I think that this is now in a perfect shape for merging! I'll hit the button when CI is green 😉
