How to Use
Let’s see a quick usage of the extension. (Usage blocks are of Kodular).
Generate Schema
Since this extension works on schema template principle, here is how you can generate or create template.
Method-1:
There are two schema generators available that you can use to generate your schema.
https://www.sumitkmr.com/dynamic-schema/
Guide is also published here:
-
Create the design that you want to use, after creating it export your AIA.
Note: Use only those components which are required.
-
Upload to the generator and enter the screen and author name.
-
Now click on generate button and you will get your schema.
Method-2(Only for AI2):
-
Create the design that you want to use, after creating it just select the main/parent component like this.
Now press Ctrl + C
-
Go to block section and take a text block and press Ctrl + V.
You can now use this string template in this extension to proceed.
Blocks
Let’s play with blocks now.
Before initializing, configure your properties like animation etc.
Here is a list of names that I will use to render data on the list.
Now initialize the list view with template, animations etc.
in : Horizontal/Vertical Arrangement, this will not work with scroll arrangement.
type : Linear/Grid
orientation : Horizontal/Vertical
reverseLayout : pass true if you want to use reverse layout i.e last item of the list will be shown first.
schema : JSON template of your design.
clickListeners: You can enable the clicks on your component directly from here, pass the ids of all the components in a list on which you want to enable the click.
animation : Set scrolling animation
total : Set the total amount of list that you want to show.
Here, you have to fill your data in the components. For example, I am using a simple list view that has a label which shows usernames, so now I will use this event SetValues to set the user names on the label from my above list. Use GetComponent to get the component from the id. You can also perform other tasks here.
This extension provides you direct event to get click on the component, you just need to enable the clicks on Initialize block. This event returns you the id, component and index of the item which is clicked.
So this was the basic usage of the extension for rendering a simple data list.
Set the textbox empty or search empty string and your original data will be return by OnSearch event to reset the list again, it’s like closing search bar.
Add Item
Use NotifyItemInserted to add a new item at any position, just make sure to add the item in your list. Just handle your list and leave the rest to extension
Demo
Remove Item
Use NotifyItemRemoved to remove an item at any position, just make sure to remove the same item from your list.
Demo
Move Item
Use NotifyItemMoved to move an item from any position to any new position, just make sure to update your data list accordinly.
Demo
Search Feature
This extension provides the search function that allows you to implement search feature very easily. Let’s see how to use it.
For implementing search, first you have to use ConfigureSearch block to register the lists that you want to use for searching strings. This block accepts a list of multiple lists. For example, if you have data like name, surname, address. And you want to search a string in all of these list then just give these lists to this block.
I have created a search bar to get input of the search.
Now track the textbox text and use Search block to search the string, this block will search the given string in the lists that were used to registered by ConfigreLists block.
Once the search is done, OnSearch event will be triggered with the new data, you must update your data list here to show the user new data. sortedList return a list of lists as the search operation were performed in multiple lists(that were registered), so I have used here select list item block to update my original list. This will update and show the new data to users.
