Select from PDF or HTML content.

Other options

description

The general description of the document.

badge

Enhance your widget with customizable badges, for instance, show the number of documents. Add the badge property to the jig YAML with an expression.

icon

The icon will be displayed on the widget of this jig. Start typing the name of the icon to invoke the available list in IntelliSense. See Jigx icons for information on working with icons.

placeholders

Create a placeholder to show when there is no data to use yet. See tips and tricks -use a placeholder for a placeholder example.

Examples and code snippets

The code below is an extract from the full jigx-samples solution. The code snippets describe the component discussed in this section. For the solution to function in the Jigx app download the full jigx-samples project from :Link[GitHub]{href="https://github.com/jigx-com/jigx-samples/tree/main/quickstart/jigx-samples" newTab="true" hasDisabledNofollow="false"}, and follow the instructions in Setting up your solution.

PDF Document Example

This example displays a Document Jig used to display a PDF document.

Examples: See the full code sample using static data in GitHub See the full code sample using dynamic data in GitHub.

Using the code below requires data in the database, the jigx.sample solution has the data provided for documents. You can use the documents.csv file in GitHub and upload it via the Data configuration in Jigx Management.

type: jig.document
title: PDF Document Type (Dynamic Data)
description: Example of PDF Financial Report
icon: document
badge: 1

placeholders:
  - when: [email protected]
    title: No data to display
  
source:
  documentType: PDF
  uri:  [email protected][type='PDF'].url

datasources:
  documents-dynamic:
    type: datasource.sqlite
    options:
      provider: DATA_PROVIDER_DYNAMIC
      entities:
        - entity: default/documents
      query: |
        SELECT 
          id, 
          '$.name', 
          '$.description', 
          '$.type', 
          '$.url' 
        FROM [default/documents]

HTML Document Example (URL)

In this example a jig.document is used to display an HTML document.

Examples: See the full code sample using static data in GitHub. See the full code sample using dynamic data in GitHub.

type: jig.document
title: HTML Document Type (Dynamic Data)
description: Example of Business Offers via HTML url
icon: document
badge: 1

placeholders:
  - when: [email protected]
    title: No data to display

source:
  documentType: HTML
  uri:  [email protected][type='HTML'].url

datasources:
  document-dynamic:
    type: datasource.sqlite
    options:
      provider: DATA_PROVIDER_DYNAMIC
      entities:
        - entity: default/documents
      query: |
        SELECT 
          id, 
          '$.name', 
          '$.description', 
          '$.type', 
          '$.url' 
        FROM [default/documents]

HTML Document Example (Content)

You can also use this jig type to pass raw HTML into the webview (without linked CSS, JS etc.).

If your HTML content does not render as expected e.g. font too small, embed this HTML tag in your HTML content that you are passing into the uri option.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

In this example a jig.document is used to display raw HTML content.

Examples: See the full code sample in GitHub.

title: HTML Document Type (Content)
type: jig.document

source:
  documentType: HTML
  content: |
      <html>
        <head>
          <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        </head>
        <body style="margin: 0;text-align: center;">
         <img src="https://www.jigx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/MSGraph01.png" alt="Jigx website screenshot"
        style="max-width: 100vw; height: 100vh; ">
        </body>
      </html>

HTML Document Example (Content with Message Listener)

In this example a jig.document is used to display raw HTML content. A message listener was added via JavaScript called linkTapped(). The HMTL can pass a value into the message listener and the message then gets passed on as JSON to the Jigx App . The JSON object is then available in the state expression using @ctx.jig.state.data. All properties of your object can be accessed using @ctx.jig.state.data.[yourproperty].

When the jig gets focus, the state is reset in this example.

This code example is not in the jigx.samples solution in GitHub.

title: "=$boolean(@ctx.jig.state.data) ? @ctx.jig.state.data.message : 'Tap on the link'"
type: jig.document

onFocus: 
  type: action.reset-state
  options:
    state: [email protected]

source: 
  documentType: HTML
  isTrackingTransparencyRequired: false
  content: |
    <html>
      <head>
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <script language="javascript">
          function linkTapped(val)
          {
            window.ReactNativeWebView.postMessage(JSON.stringify({message : val}));
          }
        </script>
      </head>
      <body>
        <a href="javascript:linkTapped('Hello World')">Tap me</a>
      </body>
    </html>
