Activities of "mittera"

In power tools when an entity has more than one navigation property pointing to the same entity it uses the "Duplication Number" to uniquely identify the property.

This part is working as expected, but during the generation of the module.ts it lists the lookup module for each property, creating duplicate import and module decatenations.

I have tried to fix this in my template and have it some what working, but I am having trouble with the condition.

I am trying to target only the first lookup for each entity using the duplication number of 0 using the condition below

"condition": "{{NP_Duplication_Number_Here}} == X",

For "X" I have tried various values from '', "", 0, <1 but none of these work. (Even the escaped versions)

If I use the value of 2 and have enough properties defined it does target the second property, and no duplicates are generated.

How do I target the 0 or blank with a condition?

Below is a sample of the NavigationPropertyTemplates

Is the source for power tools available with paid license?

We have worked with it extensively and have modified the templates to remove the master detail from the main list but on to the details as tabs. Each master details grid is a new tab.

They are only visible after the first save. as otherwise they would have nothing to bind too...

For many applications we feel this is a much better user experience.

We would like to be able to extent the power tools to add some additional properties and control when items are regenerated.

If the source is not available, are there any extensions to add custom properties?

In power tools when creating an entity we have the ability to specify if a property is on the list & and is in the create update screen.

Why can't you specify what properties are on the view only screen?

When looking at the API the endpoint is there for returning a single view only object, but it is not being used in the power tools templates.

It does use the API when loading the create / edit views just not the view only ones.

In my case i have a grid that displays 8 columns but the underlying entity has about 50 properties.

These are all visible and working on the create edit screen, but the view only screen only shows the 8 properties that are visible in the list.

I can update my code to call the API to fix it, but wanted to report that this was happening in case it is a bug or something that was over looked.

Makes me think that there should be a "ViewDtoClass" template that contains all the fields from create or edit (or have a way to specify view only fields).

This class should be used in the result of the GetEntityForView API call.

And the angular template should be setup to make an API call to the GetEntityForView endpoint when the view button is selected..

We had a similar situation, on an internal application to manage specific customer transactions, where each customer has it's own tenant.

Our solution was to enable multitenancy, but update the login page to hide the tenant selector. All users logged into host instance via LDAP, with almost no privileges (except for admin level accounts).

We added custom permissions for teach tenant that were assignable to host users to specify what tenant each user has access to.

We set up a dashboard widget that displayed an icon for each tenant filtered by access.

On tenant selection, we check if the current user (by email) is in the target tenant users table. if not we create the user and assign it it the default "users" group in the tenant (additional access is manually configured by tenant administrators). Then we use a new method (slightly modified version of impersonation logic) to impersonate the users tenant user.

We also added a button in the tenant's header that takes (stops impersonation) them back to the tenant selection dashboard widget.

Not sure if this is the best way to handle this, but it is working for us.

Is there a way to have the enum based properties to auto refresh on application start?

I have used the power tools to generate some screens, but if the enum is updated in code the select items on the create edit, and filters need to be updated.

I can also update these and everything works, but It would be much nicer if these could be bound to a something that auto refreshed on app start or at least with running nswag.

I read in the documentation that there is a way to run power tools from the command line.

What is the recommended way of doing this?

Also is there any additional documentation for customizing power tools than: https://docs.aspnetzero.com/en/common/latest/Development-Guide-Rad-Tool

This was a great help in understanding the tool, but looking to extend it to support multiple layers of N2M relationships.

From someone that understands the difference of "nP_OneTwoMany_EntityNamePlural_Here" vs "NP_OneTwoMany_EntityNamePlural_Here" from self analysis.

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
