Khaos-Admin

A frontend framework containing of tools for fast development of dashboard, panel, etc.

Tools We Provide

• Fast Development: We handle data flow in components using props, you won't need to use state managers or even requesting data manually.
• Authentication: Built-in token-based authentication.
• Customization: You will have a full control over your components(although we use antd and recommend using it for faster development)

Installation

Build a react app with create-react-app or whatever then you can install Khaos Admin using:

npm install khaos-admin
#or
yarn add khaos-admin

Implementation

API Configuration

In order to make khaos work with your backend API, we expect you to follow certain rules. Add your API route to appConfig with root key.
You can also set your app configurations such as logo, theme, etc., inside appConfig prop.
The URL structure you need to implement consists of root URL which you should set inside the appConfig prop for each entity. entityName will be used to request data for that entity. For example if you have an API for your users you should use users for entityName prop of the resource and we will use YourRootURL/users to get the data for that compoenent.

Authentication

For Authentication you will need two parts.

1. Login page : import Login form from khaos-admin and make your customized login page and you. Or you can create your custom login page and pass it as props to login, but you should import authenticate() from khaos-admin. For authentication you should pass access token and referesh token and expiration (optional) as parameter to authenticate() function.

2. Providing authentication tokens : You need to implement a function returning access token and refresh token with this format.

{ access_token:your_access_token,refresh_token:your_refresh_token }

If you implement this successfully you will see access token and refresh token as a cookie in your browser. We will add token to header of all requests with this format: Bearer Your_access_token On unauthorized request we will request new access using the refresh request function that you provided.

import React from 'react';
import { Khaos, Resource } from 'khaos-admin';

const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Khaos
      login={<Login />}
      loginRequest={loginRequest}
      refreshRequest={renewAccessToken}
      appConfig={{ root: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com' }}
    ></Khaos>
  );
};

export default App;

Note:

If you want right to left body (rtl), you should follow tow steps:

1)

In your app code add:

import { ConfigProvider } from 'antd';

<ConfigProvider direction="rtl">
  <Khaos {...props}>
</ConfigProvider>`

2)

In your css code add:

body {
  direction: rtl;
}

Login Customization

We provided a default form for login page. as we told before, you can create custom login form or you can import <LoginForm> from khaos-admin and customize it via some props as following:

Custom Props

For userNameProps and passwordProps you can pass these props(optional):

passwordProps has another props more:

Adding Features

To add features to your dashboard you will need to add their entity using resources. Each resource needs the following props:

Components props are like this:

The components you send to resource will have access to these methods and objects for handling data:

For example the example below is a resource that you can use to show a list of users.

import { Resource } from 'khaos-admin';

<Resource
  label="feature name"
  sidebarLink="list"
  entityName="users"
  components={[
    {
      component: UserList,
      path: 'list',
      button: { name: 'User List', type: 'info', className: 'mx-1 d-flex align-items-center' },
    },
  ]}
/>;

Note:

sidebarLink is the default feature for this entity. e.g: in most cases you will show your list of that entity. For this feature to work, you need to set same path for both sidebarLink and path prop for your listing component.

for list request we expect you to return list of data, for example users and the total results with the key totalResults. And the UserList component will be like this:

const UserList = ({ list }) => {
  console.log('here you have access to list of whatever entity you are in', list);
  return <div>List of users </div>;
};
