defmodule Drab do
@moduledoc """
Drab allows to query and manipulate the User Interface directly from the Phoenix server backend.
To enable it on the specific page you must find its controller and
enable Drab by `use Drab.Controller` there:
defmodule DrabExample.PageController do
use Example.Web, :controller
use Drab.Controller
def index(conn, _params) do
render conn, "index.html"
end
end
Notice that it will enable Drab on all the pages generated by `DrabExample.PageController`.
All Drab functions (callbacks and event handlers) should be placed in a module called 'commander'. It is very
similar to controller, but it does not render any pages - it works with the live page instead. Each controller with
enabled Drab should have the corresponding commander.
defmodule DrabExample.PageCommander do
use Drab.Commander
onload :page_loaded
# Drab Callbacks
def page_loaded(socket) do
set_prop socket, "div.jumbotron h2", innerHTML: "This page has been DRABBED"
end
# Drab Events
def button_clicked(socket, sender) do
set_prop socket, this(sender), innerText: "already clicked"
end
end
More on commander is in `Drab.Commander` documentation.
Drab handler are launched from the client (browser) side by running javascript function
[`Drab.exec_elixir()`](Drab.Client.html#module-drab-exec_elixir-elixir_function_name-argument), or defining
the handler function name directly in the html:
<button drab-click="button_clicked">Clickety click</button>
More on event handlers in `Drab.Core` documentation.
## Debugging Drab in IEx
When started with iex (`iex -S mix phoenix.server`) Drab shows the helpful message on how to debug its functions:
Started Drab for /drab/docs, handling events in DrabPoc.DocsCommander
You may debug Drab functions in IEx by copy/paste the following:
import Drab.{Core, Query, Modal, Waiter}
socket = Drab.get_socket(pid("0.443.0"))
Examples:
socket |> select(:htmls, from: "h4")
socket |> exec_js("alert('hello from IEx!')")
socket |> alert("Title", "Sure?", buttons: [ok: "Azaliż", cancel: "Poniechaj"])
All you need to do is to copy/paste the line with `socket = ...` and now you can run Drab function directly
from IEx, observing the results on the running browser in the realtime.
## Handling Exceptions
Drab intercepts all exceptions from event handler function and let it die, but before it presents the error message
in the logs and an alert for a user on the page.
By default it is just an `alert()`, but you can easly override it by creating the template in the
`priv/templates/drab/drab.error_handler.js` folder with your own javascript presenting the message. You may use
the local variable `message` there to get the exception description, like:
alert(<%= message %>);
## Modules
Drab is modular. You may choose which modules to use in the specific Commander by using `:module` option
in `use Drab.Commander` directive. By default, `Drab.Live` and `Drab.Element` are loaded, but you may override it
using `modules` option with `use Drab.Commander` directive.
Every module must have the corresponding javascript template, which is added to the client code in case
the module is loaded.
`Drab.Core` module is always loaded.
## Learnig Drab
There is a [tutorial/demo page](https://tg.pl/drab).
The point to start reading docs should be `Drab.Core`.
