User Interfaces

Interfaces building

Integrated Development Environment of the Molis software client, which is created using the JavaScript React library, includes an interface editor and a virtual interface designer. Interface pages are the essential part of applications that provides for retrieval and display of data from database tables, creation of forms for receipt of user input data, passing data to contracts, and navigation between application pages. Interface pages, just as contracts, are stored in the blockchain, which ensures their protection from falsification when loading them in the software client.

Interface template engine

Interface elements (pages and menus) are formed on Validating Nodes in a so-called template engine from templates created by programmers in the interface editor of the Molis software client. All interface pages are built using the Protypo functional language developed by platform developers. Interfaces are requested from nodes on the network using the content API command. What the template engine sends as a reply to such request is not an HTML page, but a JSON code comprised of HTML tags that form a tree in accordance with the template structure. For testing purposes, a POST request can be sent to api/v2/content with the template parameter containing the name of a template to process.

Creating interface templates

Interfaces can be created and edited using a specialized editor, available in the Interface section of administrative tools in Molis. The editor provides for:

  • Writing codes of interface pages with highlighting of keywords of the Protypo template language,
  • Selecting a menu, which will be displayed on the page,
  • Editing the page menu,
  • Configuring permission to edit the page (typically, by way of specifying the name of the contract with permissions in the ContractConditions function, or by direct indication of access rights in the Change conditions field),
  • Launching a visual interface designer,
  • Page preview.

Visual interface designer

Visual Interface Designer allows for creating page designs without resorting to the interface source code in Protypo language. The Designer allows for setting the positions of form elements and text on the page using drag-and-drop, as well as configuring sizes and design of page blocks. The Designer provides a set of ready-to-use blocks for displaying typical data models: panels with headers, forms, and information panels. The program logics (receipt of data and conditional constructs) can be added in the page editor after the page design is created. (In the future, we plan to create a full-scale visual interface editor.)

Use of styles

By default, interface pages are displayed using Angular Bootstrap Angle classes. If needed, users can create their own styles. Storage of styles is implemented using a special stylesheet parameter of the ecosystem configuration table.

Page blocks

To use typical code fragments on multiple interface pages there is an option to create page blocks and embed them in the interface code using the Insert command. Such blocks can be created and edited on the Interface page of the administrative section in Molis. For blocks, just as for pages, permissions for editing can be defined.

Language resources editor

The Molis software client includes a mechanism for interface localization using a special function of the Protypo template language – LangRes, which substitutes the language resource labels on the page with corresponding text lines in the language selected by the user in the software client (or browser for the web-version of the client). A shorter syntax $lable$ can be used instead of the LangRes function. Translation of messages in pop-up windows, initiated by contracts, is carried out by the LangRes function of the Simvolio language.

Language resources can be created and edited in the Language resources section of the administrative tools of the Molis software client. A language resource consists of a label (name) and the translations of this name into different languages with the indication of corresponding two-character language identifiers (EN, FR, JP, etc.).

Rights to add and change language resources can be configured using the same way as for any other table in the languages table (Tables section of the Molis administrative tools).

Protypo template language

Protypo functions provide for implementation of the following operations:

  • retrieving values from the database: DBFind,
  • representation of data retrieved from the database as tables and diagrams,
  • assignment and display of values of variables, operations with data: SetVar, GetVar, Data,
  • display and comparison of date/time values: DateTime, Now, CmpTime,
  • building forms with various sets of user data input fields: Form, ImageInput, Input, RadioGroup, Select,
  • validation of data in the form fields by displaying error messages: Validate, InputErr,
  • display of navigation elements: AddToolButton, LinkPage, Button,
  • calling contracts: Button,
  • creation of HTML page layout elements – various containers with an option to specify css classes: Div, P, Span, etc.,
  • embedding images onto a page and uploading of images: Image and ImageInput,
  • conditional display of page layout fragments: If, ElseIf, Else,
  • creation of multi-level menus,
  • interface localization.

Overview of Protypo

Page template language is a functional language that allows for calling functions using FuncName(parameters), and for nesting functions into each other. Parameters can be specified without quote marks. Unnecessary parameters can be dropped.

Text FuncName(parameter number 1, parameter number 2) another text.
FuncName(parameter 1,,,parameter 4)

If a parameter contains a comma, it should be enclosed in quotes marks (back quotes or double quotes). If a function can have only one parameter, commas can be used in it without quotes. Also, quotes should be used in case a parameter has an unpaired closing parenthesis.

FuncName("parameter number 1, the second part of first paremeter")
FuncName(`parameter number 1, the second part of first paremeter`)

If you put a parameter in quotes, but a parameter itself includes quotes, then you can use different type of quotes or double them in the text.

FuncName("parameter number 1, ""the second part of first"" paremeter")
FuncName(`parameter number 1, "the second part of first" paremeter`)

In description of functions, every parameter has a specific name. You can call functions and specify parameters in the order they were declared, or specify any set of parameters in any order by their names: ‘’Parameter_name: Parameter_value’‘. This approach allows to safely add new function parameters without breaking the compatibility with current templates. For example, all of these calls are correct in terms of language use for a function described as ‘’FuncName(Class,Value,Body)’‘:

FuncName(myclass, This is value, Div(divclass, This is paragraph.))
FuncName(Body: Div(divclass, This is paragraph.))
FuncName(myclass, Body: Div(divclass, This is paragraph.))
FuncName(Value: This is value, Body:
     Div(divclass, This is paragraph.)
)
FuncName(myclass, Value without Body)

Functions can return text, generate HTML elements (for instance, ‘’Input’‘), or create HTML elements with nested HTML elements (‘’Div, P, Span’‘). In the latter case a parameter with a pre-defined name Body should be used to define nested elements. For example, two div, nested in another div, can look like this:

Div(Body:
   Div(class1, This is the first div.)
   Div(class2, This is the second div.)
)

To define nested elements, which are described in the Body parameter, the following representation can be used: FuncName(...){...}. Nested elements should be specified in curly braces.

Div(){
   Div(class1){
      P(This is the first div.)
      Div(class2){
          Span(This is the second div.)
      }
   }
}

If you need to specify the same function a number of times in a row, you can use points instead of writing the function name every time. For example, the following lines are equal:

Span(Item 1)Span(Item 2)Span(Item 3)
Span(Item 1).(Item 2).(Item 3)

The language allows for assigning variables using the SetVar function. To substitute values of variables use #varname#.

SetVar(name, My Name)
Span(Your name: #name#)

To substitute the language resources of the ecosystem, you can use the $langres$, where langres is the name of the language source.

Span($yourname$: #name#)

The following variables are predefined:

  • #key_id# - current user account identifier,
  • #ecosystem_id# - current ecosystem identifier.
  • #guest_key# - guest wallet identifier.
  • #isMobile# - is 1 if the client is running on a mobile device.

Passing parameters to a page using PageParams

There is a number of functions that support the PageParams parameter, which serves for passing parameters when redirecting to a new page. For example, PageParams: "param1=value1,param2=value2". Parameter values can be both simple strings or rows with value substitution. When parameters are passed to a page, variables with parameter names are created; for example, #param1# and #param2#.

  • PageParams: "hello=world" - the page will receive the hello parameter with world as value,
  • PageParams: "hello=#world#" - the page will receive the hello parameter with the value of the world variable.

Additionally, the Val function allows for obtaining data from forms, which were specified in redirect. In this case,

  • PageParams: "hello=Val(world)" - the page will receive the hello parameter with the value of the world form element.

Calling contracts

Protypo implements contract calling by clicking on a button in a form (Button function). Once this event is initiated, the data entered by the user in the fields of the interface forms is passed to the contract (if the names of form fields correspond to the names of variables in the data section of the called contract, data is transferred automatically). The Button function allows for opening a modal window for user verification of the contract execution (Alert), and initiation of redirect to a specified page after the successful execution of the contract, and passing certain parameters to this page.
