Example project showing how to build a **PHX ERP frontend plugin** as an Angular web component, using `@phx/shared` and `@phx/shared-ui`.
|
||||
|
||||
The same codebase supports two workflows:
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Purpose | Typical command |
|
||||
|------|---------|-----------------|
|
||||
| **Plugin host** | Run inside PHX as a custom element | `yarn run plugin` |
|
||||
| **Standalone client** | Develop locally like a normal Angular app | `yarn client` |

## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
A PHX frontend plugin is an Angular application packaged as a **custom element** (web component). PHX loads it via a **manifest** that points to your compiled `main.js` and declares the element tag name.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────┐ manifest.json ┌───────────────────┐
|
||||
│ PHX host │ ─────────────────────> │ main.js (+ deps) │
|
||||
│ (ERP shell) │ loads & registers │ custom element │
|
||||
└────────┬────────┘ └────────┬──────────┘
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ pluginServices (Apollo, notifications…) │
|
||||
│ hostInjector │
|
||||
└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What this demo includes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Custom element tag: `frontend-plugin-demo`
|
||||
- Sample routes: hello world, product view, address list
|
||||
- GraphQL queries via PHX host Apollo (production) or a local Apollo client (development)
|
||||
- Login flow for standalone development without a pre-configured API key
|
||||
- PrimeNG + Tailwind styling aligned with PHX
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (LTS recommended)
|
||||
- [Yarn v4](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install)
|
||||
- A running PHX instance (for plugin-host testing and GraphQL schema/codegen)
|
||||
- An **npm access token** with read access to PHXGMBH packages — request one at your PHX partner
|
||||
|
||||
For local standalone development you also need either:
|
||||
|
||||
- A PHX API user token in your development environment, or
|
||||
- Valid credentials for the built-in login screen (see [Apollo, auth guard, and login](#apollo-auth-guard-and-login))
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Configure Yarn** to access the PHX npm registry (see [PHX libraries](#5-phx-libraries)). Do not commit `.yarnrc.yml`.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Install dependencies:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Create a local development environment** (optional, for standalone mode):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp src/environments/environment.example.ts src/environments/environment.development.ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Adjust `apiUrl`, `wsUrl`, and optionally `apiKey` in that file. The file is gitignored.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Generate GraphQL types** (requires PHX admin API at the schema URL configured in `codegen.ts`):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn codegen
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Run in one of the development modes** below.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Live demo
|
||||
|
||||
To use this demo in your own instance, add a custom element in **Admin → Custom Elements** (`https://your.phx.instance/admin/customElements`) with this manifest URL:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://gitea.phx-erp.de/api/v1/repos/PHXGMBH/phx-frontend-plugin-webcomponent-demo/raw/master/latest/manifest.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The manifest resolves to the compiled `main.js` in the `latest/` directory of this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Development modes
|
||||
|
||||
### Standalone client (usual Angular workflow)
|
||||
|
||||
Runs the app with the **development** build configuration on port **4201** — routing, login, and a local Apollo client work without PHX.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn client
|
||||
# equivalent: ng serve --port 4201 --watch --configuration development
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Open **http://localhost:4201/**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Plugin host mode (inside PHX)
|
||||
|
||||
Builds with the **production** configuration (no output hashing) and serves the output with CORS and no-cache headers so PHX can load fresh bundles during development.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn run plugin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This runs `yarn build` and `yarn serve` concurrently:
|
||||
|
||||
| Script | What it does |
|
||||
|--------|----------------|
|
||||
| `yarn build` | Watches production build (in this repo, also syncs output to `latest/` for the hosted demo) |
|
||||
| `yarn serve` | Serves `dist/.../browser/` at **http://localhost:3223/** |
|
||||
|
||||
Point your PHX instance at the local manifest:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
http://localhost:3223/manifest.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(`public/manifest.json` is copied into the served output.)
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** Use `yarn run plugin`, not `yarn plugin` — Yarn treats `plugin` as a built-in command.
|
||||
|
||||
[Terminal Keeper](https://open-vsx.org/extension/nguyenngoclong/terminal-keeper) is preconfigured in `.vscode/sessions.json` to start both `yarn run plugin` and `yarn client`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other useful commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn start # ng serve with development configuration (default port 4200)
|
||||
yarn codegen # Regenerate GraphQL types
|
||||
```

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Create your own plugin
|
||||
|
||||
The steps below walk through creating a project similar to this demo, using [Yarn v4](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install), [Angular 20](https://angular.dev/), [PrimeNG 20](https://primeng.org/), and [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/).
|
||||
|
||||
Replace placeholders such as `*PROJECT-NAME*`, `*YOUR-TAG*`, and `*YOUR-TOKEN*` with your values.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Basic setup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir *PROJECT-NAME*
|
||||
cd *PROJECT-NAME*
|
||||
npx @angular/cli@20 new *PROJECT-NAME* --directory ./ --package-manager yarn --style scss --ssr false --routing --standalone
|
||||
yarn add primeng@20 @primeng/themes@20 tailwindcss@3.4.17 postcss tailwindcss-primeui @angular/animations@20 @angular/elements@20
|
||||
yarn add -D typescript@5.9.2 @graphql-codegen/cli @graphql-codegen/typescript @graphql-codegen/typescript-operations @graphql-codegen/typed-document-node concurrently
|
||||
ng add apollo-angular
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Tailwind CSS
|
||||
|
||||
Create `tailwind.config.js` in the project root. This configuration is aligned with PHX:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
|
||||
module.exports = {
|
||||
darkMode: 'selector',
|
||||
content: ['./src/**/*.{html,ts,scss}'],
|
||||
theme: {
|
||||
extend: {
|
||||
animation: {
|
||||
fadein: 'fadein 0.5s ease-in-out',
|
||||
fadeout: 'fadeout 0.5s ease-in-out',
|
||||
fadeinleft: 'fadeinleft 0.5s ease-in-out',
|
||||
fadeinright: 'fadeinright 0.5s ease-in-out',
|
||||
fadeintop: 'fadeintop 0.5s ease-in-out',
|
||||
fadeinbottom: 'fadeinbottom 0.5s ease-in-out',
|
||||
},
|
||||
keyframes: {
|
||||
fadein: { '0%': { opacity: 0 }, '100%': { opacity: 1 } },
|
||||
fadeout: { '0%': { opacity: 1 }, '100%': { opacity: 0 } },
|
||||
fadeinleft: { '0%': { opacity: 0, transform: 'translateX(-100%)' }, '100%': { opacity: 1, transform: 'translateX(0)' } },
|
||||
fadeinright: { '0%': { opacity: 0, transform: 'translateX(100%)' }, '100%': { opacity: 1, transform: 'translateX(0)' } },
|
||||
fadeintop: { '0%': { opacity: 0, transform: 'translateY(-100%)' }, '100%': { opacity: 1, transform: 'translateY(0)' } },
|
||||
fadeinbottom: { '0%': { opacity: 0, transform: 'translateY(100%)' }, '100%': { opacity: 1, transform: 'translateY(0)' } },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
plugins: [require('tailwindcss-primeui')],
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Due to a known issue, add these directives to **each component's** `styles` (and to `src/styles.scss` for local development):
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@tailwind base;
|
||||
@tailwind components;
|
||||
@tailwind utilities;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. GraphQL Codegen
|
||||
|
||||
Create `codegen.ts` in the project root (adjust the schema URL if your PHX instance runs elsewhere):
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
|
||||
|
||||
const sharedConfig = {
|
||||
scalars: { DateTime: 'Date' },
|
||||
immutableTypes: false,
|
||||
} as const;
|
||||
|
||||
const config: CodegenConfig = {
|
||||
overwrite: true,
|
||||
schema: 'http://localhost:3000/admin-api/schema.gql',
|
||||
documents: './src/graphql/*.ts',
|
||||
ignoreNoDocuments: true,
|
||||
generates: {
|
||||
'./src/app/schema-types.ts': {
|
||||
plugins: ['typescript'],
|
||||
config: sharedConfig,
|
||||
},
|
||||
'./src/app/generated.ts': {
|
||||
plugins: ['typescript-operations', 'typed-document-node'],
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
...sharedConfig,
|
||||
importSchemaTypesFrom: './src/app/schema-types.ts',
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
export default config;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `package.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"codegen": "graphql-codegen"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Define queries and mutations in `src/graphql/`, then run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn codegen
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This generates `src/app/schema-types.ts` and `src/app/generated.ts`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Environments
|
||||
|
||||
Use separate environments so the same build runs as a PHX plugin (production) or as a standalone dev app (development).
|
||||
|
||||
**`src/environments/environment.interface.ts`**
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
export abstract class Environment {
|
||||
production: boolean = false;
|
||||
apiUrl: string | undefined;
|
||||
wsUrl: string | undefined;
|
||||
apiKey: string | undefined;
|
||||
serverUrl: string = '';
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**`src/environments/environment.ts`** (production — used when embedded in PHX)
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { Environment } from './environment.interface';
|
||||
|
||||
export const environment: Environment = {
|
||||
production: true,
|
||||
apiUrl: undefined,
|
||||
wsUrl: undefined,
|
||||
apiKey: undefined,
|
||||
serverUrl: '',
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**`src/environments/environment.development.ts`** (local development — add to `.gitignore`)
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { Environment } from './environment.interface';
|
||||
|
||||
export const environment: Environment = {
|
||||
production: false,
|
||||
apiUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/admin-api',
|
||||
wsUrl: 'ws://localhost:3000/admin-api',
|
||||
apiKey: undefined, // or a PHX API user token; otherwise use the login route
|
||||
serverUrl: 'https://localhost:4200',
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add `fileReplacements` to the **development** build configuration in `angular.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"development": {
|
||||
"fileReplacements": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"replace": "src/environments/environment.ts",
|
||||
"with": "src/environments/environment.development.ts"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Tip:** Ship `environment.example.ts` in the repo and copy it to `environment.development.ts` locally, as this demo does.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. PHX libraries
|
||||
|
||||
`@phx/shared` and `@phx/shared-ui` are published on the PHXGMBH npm registry.
|
||||
|
||||
Create `.yarnrc.yml` in the project root (or edit `~/.yarnrc.yml` for a global setup):
|
||||
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
nodeLinker: node-modules
|
||||
npmScopes:
|
||||
phx:
|
||||
npmRegistryServer: "https://gitea.phx-erp.de/api/packages/PHXGMBH/npm/"
|
||||
npmAuthToken: "*YOUR-TOKEN*"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important:** Add `.yarnrc.yml` to `.gitignore` if it contains your token.
|
||||
|
||||
Then install the libraries:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn add @phx/shared @phx/shared-ui
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Plugin setup
|
||||
|
||||
#### Application config
|
||||
|
||||
Add `providePhoenixPluginWithPrimeNG` in `src/app/app.config.ts`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { ApplicationConfig, provideZoneChangeDetection } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router';
|
||||
import { providePhoenixPluginWithPrimeNG } from '@phx/shared-ui';
|
||||
import { routes } from './app.routes';
|
||||
|
||||
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
|
||||
providers: [
|
||||
provideZoneChangeDetection({ eventCoalescing: true }),
|
||||
// stripTrailingSegments: child route segments appended by PHX deep links
|
||||
// so APP_BASE_HREF still matches the host mount path.
|
||||
...providePhoenixPluginWithPrimeNG({
|
||||
stripTrailingSegments: ['*YOUR*', '*ROUTES*', '*HERE*'],
|
||||
}),
|
||||
provideRouter(routes),
|
||||
],
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Routing:** Pass your route path segments in `stripTrailingSegments`, or derive them automatically:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ```ts
|
||||
> stripTrailingSegments: routes.map((r) => r.path!).filter((p) => (p?.length ?? 0) > 0)
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Host bridge service
|
||||
|
||||
Create `src/app/services/phoenix-host-bridge.service.ts`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { Injectable, Injector, signal } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import type { IPluginServices } from '@phx/shared-ui';
|
||||
|
||||
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
|
||||
export class PhoenixHostBridgeService {
|
||||
private readonly _hostInjector = signal<Injector | null>(null);
|
||||
private readonly _pluginServices = signal<IPluginServices | null>(null);
|
||||
|
||||
hostInjector(): Injector | null {
|
||||
return this._hostInjector();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
setHostInjector(injector: Injector): void {
|
||||
this._hostInjector.set(injector);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
pluginServices(): IPluginServices | null {
|
||||
return this._pluginServices();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
setPluginServices(services: IPluginServices): void {
|
||||
this._pluginServices.set(services);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The host bridge stores services injected by PHX (Apollo client, notification service, etc.) so your components can use them in production mode.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Root component
|
||||
|
||||
Your root component receives `pluginServices` and `hostInjector` from PHX and forwards them to the bridge:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { Component, effect, inject, Injector, input } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { RouterOutlet } from '@angular/router';
|
||||
import { PhoenixHostBridgeService } from './services/phoenix-host-bridge.service';
|
||||
import { IPluginServices, syncPhoenixHostInjector } from '@phx/shared-ui';
|
||||
|
||||
@Component({
|
||||
selector: 'app-root',
|
||||
imports: [RouterOutlet],
|
||||
template: `<router-outlet />`,
|
||||
styles: [`
|
||||
@tailwind base;
|
||||
@tailwind components;
|
||||
@tailwind utilities;
|
||||
`],
|
||||
})
|
||||
export class App {
|
||||
private readonly hostBridge = inject(PhoenixHostBridgeService);
|
||||
|
||||
readonly pluginServices = input<IPluginServices>({});
|
||||
readonly hostInjector = input<Injector | undefined>(undefined);
|
||||
|
||||
private readonly _syncHostInjector = syncPhoenixHostInjector(this.hostBridge, this.hostInjector);
|
||||
|
||||
private readonly _syncPluginServices = effect(() => {
|
||||
this.hostBridge.setPluginServices(this.pluginServices());
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Bootstrap / custom element registration
|
||||
|
||||
In `src/main.ts`, register your plugin as a custom element (replace `*YOUR-TAG*`):
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { appConfig } from './app/app.config';
|
||||
import { App } from './app/app';
|
||||
import { bootstrapPhoenixPluginCustomElement } from '@phx/shared-ui';
|
||||
import { environment } from './environments/environment';
|
||||
|
||||
bootstrapPhoenixPluginCustomElement(App, '*YOUR-TAG*', appConfig).then((app) => {
|
||||
if (!environment.production) {
|
||||
return app!.bootstrap(App);
|
||||
}
|
||||
return app;
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **`bootstrapPhoenixPluginCustomElement`** — creates the Angular application and registers the custom element for PHX.
|
||||
- **`app.bootstrap(App)` in development** — additionally mounts the root component so `ng serve` / standalone mode works with routing.
|
||||
|
||||
The custom element tag must be **lowercase with hyphens** (e.g. `my-company-orders`). Use the same tag in your manifest.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Register in PHX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manifest format
|
||||
|
||||
PHX loads a JSON manifest that points to your entry script and declares the custom element tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"path": "https://example.com/path/to/main.js",
|
||||
"items": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"tagName": "*YOUR-TAG*"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Description |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|
|
||||
| `path` | Absolute URL to `main.js` (and base for chunk resolution) |
|
||||
| `items[].tagName` | Custom element tag registered in `main.ts` |
|
||||
|
||||
**Local development example** (`public/manifest.json` in this repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"path": "http://localhost:3223/main.js",
|
||||
"items": [{ "tagName": "frontend-plugin-demo" }]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Hosted example** (`latest/manifest.json` in this repo):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"path": "https://gitea.phx-erp.de/api/v1/repos/PHXGMBH/phx-frontend-plugin-webcomponent-demo/raw/master/latest/main.js",
|
||||
"items": [{ "tagName": "frontend-plugin-demo" }]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Registration steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Host `main.js` (and any sibling chunks) at a URL reachable from your users' browsers — same network rules as your PHX instance.
|
||||
2. Publish a manifest JSON at a stable URL.
|
||||
3. In PHX: **Admin → Custom Elements** → add the manifest URL and choose a mount path or tag.
|
||||
4. Log out and back in. The plugin is available at `https://your.phx.instance/customElements/*PATH*`.

## Additional topics
|
||||
|
||||
### Serving the plugin locally
|
||||
|
||||
Install the static server:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yarn add -D serve
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**`scripts/serve-dist.mjs`**
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
import { spawn } from 'node:child_process';
|
||||
import { dirname, join } from 'node:path';
|
||||
import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url';
|
||||
|
||||
const __dirname = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
|
||||
const root = join(__dirname, '..');
|
||||
const port = process.env.PORT ?? '3223';
|
||||
|
||||
const serveBin = join(root, 'node_modules', '.bin', 'serve');
|
||||
const child = spawn(serveBin, ['-l', port, '--cors', '--no-etag'], {
|
||||
stdio: 'inherit',
|
||||
shell: true,
|
||||
cwd: root,
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
child.on('exit', (code) => process.exit(code ?? 0));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**`serve.json`** (replace `*PROJECT-NAME*` with your Angular project name from `angular.json`)
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"public": "dist/*PROJECT-NAME*/browser",
|
||||
"headers": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"source": "**/*.{js,mjs}",
|
||||
"headers": [
|
||||
{ "key": "Cache-Control", "value": "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate" }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Serving from the project root (not directly from `dist/`) ensures `serve.json` is applied and avoids stale cached `main.js` after rebuilds.
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `package.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"serve": "node ./scripts/serve-dist.mjs"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use a custom port: `PORT=8080 yarn serve`.
|
||||
|
||||
> **This repository only:** `scripts/copy-latest.mjs` copies built JS files into `latest/` so the [live demo](#live-demo) manifest can point at a stable path in git. You do not need this for local plugin-host development.
|
||||
|
||||
### Apollo, auth guard, and login
|
||||
|
||||
In **production** (embedded in PHX), authentication is handled by the host. Use the Apollo client from `IPluginServices` via `PhoenixHostBridgeService` — you do not need a separate login flow.
|
||||
|
||||
In **development** (standalone), provide your own Apollo client and optional login.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Apollo provider
|
||||
|
||||
Create `src/app/apollo.provider.ts` (see this repository for the full implementation). It:
|
||||
|
||||
- Connects HTTP and WebSocket links to `environment.apiUrl` / `environment.wsUrl`
|
||||
- Sends `Authorization: Bearer …` from `environment.apiKey` or `localStorage`
|
||||
- Persists tokens from the `phoenix-auth-token` response header
|
||||
|
||||
Register it only in development, e.g. in `app.config.ts`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
...(environment.production ? [] : [...apolloProvider()])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Apollo service abstraction
|
||||
|
||||
Use a small service to pick the host Apollo client in production and the local client in development:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
|
||||
export class ApolloService {
|
||||
private readonly _apollo = signal<Apollo>(undefined!);
|
||||
|
||||
constructor(private readonly injector: Injector) {
|
||||
if (environment.production) {
|
||||
this._apollo.set(injector.get(PhoenixHostBridgeService)?.pluginServices()?.apollo!);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
this._apollo.set(
|
||||
injector.get(PhoenixHostBridgeService)?.pluginServices()?.apollo ?? injector.get(Apollo)
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
apollo = () => this._apollo();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Apply the same pattern for other host services (e.g. notifications) when you need standalone fallbacks.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Login component
|
||||
|
||||
For development without a preset API key, add a `/login` route that calls the PHX `login` mutation:
|
||||
|
||||
```gql
|
||||
mutation Login($username: String!, $password: String!) {
|
||||
login(username: $username, password: $password) {
|
||||
... on CurrentUser {
|
||||
id
|
||||
identifier
|
||||
channels {
|
||||
id
|
||||
token
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
... on InvalidCredentialsError {
|
||||
errorCode
|
||||
message
|
||||
}
|
||||
... on NativeAuthStrategyError {
|
||||
errorCode
|
||||
message
|
||||
}
|
||||
... on EmailCodeAuthStrategyError {
|
||||
errorCode
|
||||
message
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See `src/app/login/` in this repo for a complete form implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Auth guard
|
||||
|
||||
Redirect unauthenticated users to login in development only:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
@Injectable()
|
||||
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
|
||||
private readonly router = inject(Router);
|
||||
|
||||
canActivate(_route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, _state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
|
||||
const token = environment.apiKey ?? localStorage.getItem('api-key');
|
||||
if (!environment.production && !token) {
|
||||
this.router.navigate(['login'], {
|
||||
queryParams: { redirectTo: btoa(window.location.pathname + window.location.search) },
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Wire it in `app.routes.ts`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const canActivate = [environment.production ? () => true : AuthGuard];
|
||||
|
||||
export const routes: Routes = [
|
||||
{ path: '', canActivate, component: HelloWorld },
|
||||
{ path: 'product-view', canActivate, component: ProductView },
|
||||
{ path: 'address-list', canActivate, component: AddressList },
|
||||
{ path: 'login', component: Login },
|
||||
];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### package.json scripts
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended scripts after following this guide:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"scripts": {
|
||||
"build": "ng build --watch --output-hashing none --configuration production",
|
||||
"serve": "node ./scripts/serve-dist.mjs",
|
||||
"plugin": "concurrently \"yarn build\" \"yarn serve\"",
|
||||
"client": "ng serve --port 4201 --watch --configuration development",
|
||||
"codegen": "graphql-codegen"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Script | Description |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|
|
||||
| `build` | Production watch build for PHX |
|
||||
| `serve` | Serves compiled assets for PHX (default port 3223) |
|
||||
| `plugin` | Runs `build` + `serve` together — use `yarn run plugin` |
|
||||
| `client` | Standalone Angular dev server on port 4201 |
|
||||
| `codegen` | Regenerates GraphQL TypeScript types |
|
||||
|
||||
This repository additionally runs `copy-latest.mjs` alongside `build` to publish artifacts into `latest/` for the hosted demo — that is not required for your own plugin.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Symptom | Things to check |
|
||||
|---------|-----------------|
|
||||
| PHX shows an old version of the plugin | Hard-refresh; confirm `serve.json` sets `Cache-Control: no-store` for JS; restart `yarn run plugin` |
|
||||
| `401` / GraphQL auth errors in standalone mode | Set `apiKey` in `environment.development.ts` or log in via `/login` |
|
||||
| `yarn add @phx/shared` fails | Verify `.yarnrc.yml` token; contact [support@phx-erp.de](mailto:support@phx-erp.de) |
|
||||
| Routing broken inside PHX | Add route segments to `stripTrailingSegments` in `providePhoenixPluginWithPrimeNG` |
|
||||
| Tailwind classes missing in a component | Add `@tailwind` directives to that component's `styles` |
|
||||
| `yarn codegen` fails | Ensure PHX is running and the schema URL in `codegen.ts` is reachable |
|
||||
| Custom element not found | Tag in manifest must exactly match `customElements.define` / `bootstrapPhoenixPluginCustomElement` |
|
||||
