Add Custom Plugins

Kinetic have a level of extensibility and allow users to add custom plugins as well as enable and disable built-in features.

Steps to add a custom plugin:

  • Create a new folder inside the pages directory, this folder should contain all of your plugin implementations.
  • Define a new RouteObject inside the routes definition.
  • To add your plugin to the application sidebar, provide a custom sidebar props for AppLayout component inside the routes object.

Note: The AppLayout component is used to render the Sidebar, AppBar, and PageLayout. It all comes with a default value to render core features of Kinetic

Example:

// routes.tsx

{
  // ... routes object
  path: "/",
  element:
    <AppLayout
      sidebar={{
        plugins: [
          {
            text: "Plugins",
            key: "plugins",
            subItems: [
              {
                text: "Store Pickup",
                icon: <AbcOutlined fontSize = "small" />,
                to: "/pickup",
                key: "storePickup"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }}
    />
}
  • If you want to disable or custom a core feature in the sidebar, extends the CORE_FEATURES from the Sidebar component, modify it and apply to the AppLayout. For example, we want to hide the default Orders from the core features and provide our custom Orders page
// routes.tsx

import { CORE_FEATURES, FEATURE_KEYS } from "@components/Sidebar";

{
  // ... routes object
  path: "/",
  element:
    <AppLayout
        sidebar={{
           coreFeatures: CORE_FEATURES.filter((sidebarItem) => sidebarItem.key !== FEATURE_KEYS.orders),
           plugins: [
            {
              text: "Plugins",
              key: "plugins",
              subItems: [
                {
                  text: "Custom Orders",
                  icon: <AbcOutlined fontSize = "small" />,
                  to: "/pickup",
                  key: "storePickup"
                }
              ]
            }
        ]
        }}
    />
}

Example:

Add a custom plugin

There is an example Customer plugin inside examples folder. We're going to disable the default customer feature and replace with this custom plugin.

All the features entry points are declared inside the routes file.

To include our custom plugin into the app, we need to declare the entry point in the routes file. Please modify the routes file:

// in routes.tsx

// ... other import statements

+ import SupportAgentIcon from "@mui/icons-material/SupportAgent";
+ import { CORE_FEATURES, FEATURE_KEYS, ItemProps } from "@components/Sidebar";

// import our feature as a lazy imported components for code splitting
+ const Customers = lazy(() => import("./examples/Customers"));

export const routes: RouteObject[] = [
  {
    // ... routes object
    path: "/",
-    element: <AppLayout/>,
// define custom plugin sidebar item and turn off default customer feature in the sidebar
+    element:
+      <AppLayout
+          sidebar={{
+            plugins: [{
+              text: "Plugins",
+              key: "custom-plugins",
+              subItems: [
+                {
+                  key: "customers",
+                  icon: <SupportAgentIcon fontSize="small"/>,
+                  text: "Customers",
+                  to: "plugins/customers"
+                }
+              ]
+            }],
+            coreFeatures: CORE_FEATURES.filter((sidebarItem) => sidebarItem.key !== FEATURE_KEYS.customers)
+          }}
+      />,
    children: [
+      {
+        path: "plugins/customers",
+        element: <Customers />
+      },
      // ... other routes,
    ]
  }
]

Now, start the application and you will see the Customer option under the Plugins sidebar item. Click on that option and you should see the example custom plugin.

Permissions for Custom Plugins

Every registered user belongs to a dedicated group with configured permissions (except the admin who is the first user of the system, this user is automatically assigned to multiple groups with special permissions). We can change the permissions of a group on the group setting page.

When you add custom pages, they are accessible to the users by default. To make them only accessible to users with proper permissions, you can use the PermissionGuard component.

For example, only users with reading accounts permission can access the Customers page, add the permission check at the route level.

// in routes.tsx

// ... other import statements

import SupportAgentIcon from "@mui/icons-material/SupportAgent";
import { CORE_FEATURES, FEATURE_KEYS, ItemProps } from "@components/Sidebar";
+ import { PermissionGuard } from "@components/PermissionGuard";

const Customers = lazy(() => import("./examples/Customers"));

export const routes: RouteObject[] = [
  {
    // ... routes object
    path: "/",
    element:
      <AppLayout
          sidebar={{
            plugins: [{
              text: "Plugins",
              key: "custom-plugins",
              subItems: [
                {
                  key: "customers",
                  icon: <SupportAgentIcon fontSize="small"/>,
                  text: "Customers",
                  to: "plugins/customers"
                }
              ]
            }],
            coreFeatures: CORE_FEATURES.filter((sidebarItem) => sidebarItem.key !== FEATURE_KEYS.customers)
          }}
      />,
    children: [
      {
        path: "plugins/customers",
-       element: <Customers />
+       element: <PermissionGuard permissions={["reaction:legacy:accounts/read"]}><Customers /></PermissionGuard>
      },
      // ... other routes,
    ]
  }
]

Please note that, we can use PermissionGuard at any level of the app to guard the UI components. Normally, we would want to add at the entry point in the route definition.

Alternatively, if you would prefer modifying the component itself, you can call the hook usePermission in the custom page. For example, we want to enforce only users with adding accounts permission can see the Add button in the customers page.

// in src/examples/Customers/index.tsx

// ... other import statements
+ import { usePermission } from "@components/PermissionGuard";


const Customers = () => {
  const { pagination, handlePaginationChange } = useTableState();
+  const canAddCustomer = usePermission(["reaction:legacy:accounts/create"]);

  ...

  return (
    <Container maxWidth={false} sx={{ padding: "20px 30px" }}>
      <TableContainer>
-        <TableHeader title="Customers" action={<TableAction>Add</TableAction>}/>
+        <TableHeader title="Customers" action={canAddCustomer ? <TableAction>Add</TableAction> : undefined}/>
        ...
      </TableContainer>
    </Container>
  );
};
