PostgRestAdmin.application configuration params.

PostgRestAdmin.application decoder with defaults.

main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
main =
    PostgRestAdmin.application Config.init

Specify the postgREST host.

  main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
  main =
      Config.init
          |> Config.host "http://localhost:3000"
          |> PostgRestAdmin.application

Alternatively the host can be specified using flags, configuring using host. Program flags take precedence.

  Elm.Main.init({
      flags: { host: "http://localhost:3000" }
  })

Specify which fields should be present in the the edit and create forms, overriding the table schema. By default a primary key field is not present in the forms.

  main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
  main =
      Config.init
          |> Config.formFields "posts" ["id", "title", "content"]
          |> PostgRestAdmin.application

Alternatively this parameter can be configured using flags, configuring using formFields. Program flags take precedence.

  Elm.Main.init({
      flags: { formFields: { posts: [ "id", "title", "content" ]} }
  })

Specify a number of actions buttons to be shown in the detail page of a record along with Edit and Delete buttons.

detailActions expect a dict where the keys correspond with the name of a table and the values are a list of tuples, the first element of the tuple corresponds to the button text and the second is a function that takes the id of the resource and returns a url string.

  import Url.Builder as Url


  main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
  main =
      Config.init
          |> Config.detailActions "posts"
              [ ( "View Comments"
                , \_ id -> Url.absolute [ "posts", id, "comments" ] []
                )
              ]


      |> PostgRestAdmin.application

Pass a list of table names to restrict the editable resources, also sets the order of the left resources menu.

  main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
  main =
      Config.init
          |> Config.tables ["posts", "comments"]
          |> PostgRestAdmin.application

Alternatively the host can be specified using flags, configuring using tables. Program flags take precedence.

  Elm.Main.init({
      tables: ["posts", "comments"]
  })

Enable user credentials form and configure the parameters. Credentials are be used to obtain a JWT.

See FormAuth for configuration options.

  import PostgRestAdmin.Config.FormAuth as FormAuth


  main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
  main =
      Config.init
          |> Config.formAuth FormAuth.config
          |> PostgRestAdmin.application

Set a JWT to authenticate postgREST requests. Even when using formAuth it's possible to set an initial JWT.

  main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
  main =
      Config.init
          |> Config.jwt "8abf3a...9ac36d"
          |> PostgRestAdmin.application

Alternatively the token can be passed using flags, configuring using jwt. Program flags take precedence.

  Elm.Main.init({
      flags: { jwt: sessionStorage.getItem("jwt") }
  })

Callback triggered with a JWT string on successful login. Tipically used to persist the JWT to session storage.

      port loginSuccess : String -> Cmd msg


      main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
      main =
          Config.init
              |> Config.onLogin loginSuccess
              |> PostgRestAdmin.application

// Elm init

    app = Elm.Main.init({
      flags: { jwt: sessionStorage.getItem("jwt") }
    })


    app.ports.loginSuccess.subscribe(jwt => {
      sessionStorage.setItem("jwt", jwt)
    });

Callback triggered when authentication fails when attempting to perform a request. You can use to perform external authentication.

      port authFailure : String -> Cmd msg


      port tokenReceiver :
          ({ path : String, accessToken : String } -> msg)
          -> Sub msg




      main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
      main =
          Config.init
              |> Config.withAuthFailed authFailed
              |> Config.onExternalLogin tokenReceiver
              |> PostgRestAdmin.application

// Elm init

    app = Elm.Main.init()


    app.ports.authFailure.subscribe(requestedPath => {
        authenticate(requestedPath).then((accessToken) => {
            app.ports.tokenReceiver.send({
                path : requestedPath,
                accessToken : accessToken
            })


        })
    });

Subscribe to receive a JWT and a redirect path when login with an external provider.

See onAuthFailed.

Callback triggered when authentication fails when attempting to perform a request. You can use to perform external authentication.

      port logout : () -> Cmd msg


      main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Never Never
      main =
          Config.init
              |> Config.onLogout logout
              |> PostgRestAdmin.application

// Elm init

    app = Elm.Main.init()


    app.ports.logout.subscribe(_ => {
        externalLogout()
    });

Mount an application on a give path using Url.Parser. This is usefull if you want to override an existing page or add additional behaviour.

The component specification is similar to the specification for Browser.element, with the addition of onLogin param for which a msg should be provided to be sent on successful login.

Note that the type signature changes from PostgRestAdmin.Program Nothing Nothing. Model and Msg are defined by your application.

The url parser should map to a Msg to be used to update your application when navigating to this route built the parameters that the parser defines, you can use Url.Parser.oneOf to parse many routes.

main : PostgRestAdmin.Program Model Msg
main =
    Config.init
        |> Config.routes
            { view = view
            , update = update
            , init = init
            , onLogin = LoggedIn
            }
            (Parser.map MyPostLoadedMsg
                (s "posts" </> Parser.string </> s "comments")
            )
        |> PostgRestAdmin.application

The application is initialized with a Client you can use to perform requests.
