I AM…

 Old infrastructure
 Company unwilling to upgrade
 Requesting new web applications
 Wanted modern look, mobile
 Bootstrap and jQuery to the rescue:
My story

Agenda
“Integrate existing Domino data with modern websites”
 Why integrate?
 Why jQuery and not XPages?
 Separate the workload
 Client – Javascript/jQuery, Ajax, JSON
 Server – Lotusscript
 Improve the UI – Bootstrap
 Demos
All sample code will be available for download at
http://blog.texasswede.com/MWLUG

 Limited or no migration options
 Desire to modernize
 Code re-use
 Take advantage of the power of Domino
 No one will know you are using a Domino backend
 Use existing skillset
 Learn valuable new skills
Why integrate?

 Infrastructure not supporting XPages
 No XPages skills
 Tight deadline – no time to learn
 More control
 Plugin availability
Why not use Xpages?

 Separate design and code
 Focus expertise on their respective areas
 Use established front-end technologies
 Back-end focus on business logic and data
 Collaboration is important!
Separate the workload

 Javascript/jQuery
 Ajax/JSON
 HTML and CSS
 Bootstrap
Ajax call
JSON data
.NSF
Client – modern web browser

 Lotusscript Agents
 NSF database
 Existing business logic
 Can use existing classes/script libraries
Works on Domino since R5
Update highly recommended!
Server – IBM Domino

Where does everything live?
 HTML pages, CSS files and Javascript
• Notes page element
• Notes resources
• CDN (.js and .css)
• Server file system – in Data/Domino/HTML
• Another web server
 Lotusscript agents
• .NSF on Domino server

Development tools
 Domino Designer
 Browser with Dev Tools
 Firefox with Firebug plugin
 Internet Explorer Developer Tools (built-in)
 Chrome Developer Tools (built-in)
 Online resources
• jsonlint.com
• Stack Overflow
• Google Search

 Asynchronous Javascript And XML
 Asynchronous = call processed in background
 Result is passed back and then processed
 XML used first, JSON now more common
 Easier to parse JSON in Javascript
 Using few lines of jQuery code
Ajax

jQuery
 Javascript library
 Free
 Very popular
 Powerful – save development time
 Easy access to web page elements (DOM)
 Online resources

$.ajax({
url: '/websites/example.nsf/ajax_GetUserDetails?OpenAgent',
data: {name: “Karl-Henry Martinsson”},
cache: false
}).done(function(data) {
// Process returned data here
}).fail(function(e) {
// Process failed call here
});
or
$.ajax({
url: '/websites/example.nsf/ajax_GetUserDetails?OpenAgent',
data: {name: userName},
cache: false
}).success(function(data) {
// Process returned data here
});
 Can be more complex – .done(), .fail() and .always()
 Arguments passed as JSON
 cache: false – “cache buster”
Calling Ajax using jQuery

 JavaScript Object Notation
 Describe data as Javascript objects
 Preferred to XML in web applications
• Less “chatty” (less bandwidth)
• Very easy to access values directly in Javascript
 Any data types, including other objects
 Array of objects
JSON

 ?ReadViewEntries&OutputFormat=JSON
• Available in Domino 7.0.2+
• Can be hard to parse
 Formula in Notes view
• http://www.eknori.de/2011-07-23/formula-magic/
 Lotusscript agent
• Generate your own JSON
• Test at JSONLint.com
• Use JSON classes
o My Class.JSON
o JSON Lotusscript Classes by Troy Reimer (OpenNTF.org)
Generate JSON on Domino

 XPages agent (SSJS XAgent)
• Domino 8.5.2 and XPages knowledge
• Better performance than Lotusscript
• http://www.wissel.net/blog/d6plinks/shwl-7mgfbn
 REST Services control from Extension Library
• Domino 8.5.2 and ExtLib on server
Generate JSON on Domino – Xpages Style

 First button will update specified element with text
• Static text - stored in the Javascript source code
 Second button will trigger an Ajax call to server
• Server agent returns plain text
• No parsing of name-value pairs
• No database lookups or other server interaction
• Returned text can contain HTML
• Javascript updates specified element with returned text
 Google as CDN for jQuery
 jQuery also hosted by Microsoft and others

 Very little code needed
 Put values into specified elements
 Case is important!

 Open source front-end framework
 CSS + some jQuery
 Responsive
 Themes, color schemes and plugins
 CDN or local copy
 3rd party resources and plugins
Twitter Bootstrap

Example of web application using Bootstrap

The password reset application pictured above is a free download.
You can get it at http://blog.texasswede.com/free-software-password-reset-for-notesdomino/
Another Bootstrap web application

 Rapid development
 Responsive
 Cross-browser
 Plenty of resources
 Actively being developed
Benefits of using Bootstrap

 Only supporting the latest browsers
 Major changes between v2 and v3
 Version specific plugins
 Some plugins not themeable
Potential issues with Bootstrap

 Viewport meta tag – control scaling
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<script src="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="demo4.css" rel="stylesheet">
Using Bootstrap

 Minified Bootstrap from BootstrapCDN.com
 // - works with and without SSL
• Will not work on local webpages, page must be on a server
 Local CSS located after Bootstrap CSS
Using Bootstrap
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

 Link to Bootstrap and local CSS file
 Local CSS used for minor tweaks
 Bootstrap markup in HTML
 Two columns
• Button in left column
• Result in right column
 Responsive - columns will stack
Demo 4 – Adding Bootstrap

HTML <body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="btnDisplayServerContent">Load user info</button>
</div>
<div id="userInfo" class="well col-md-6">
<label>User Name:</label> <div class="jsonData" id="userName"></div>
<label>Phone number:</label> <div class="jsonData" id="userPhoneNumber"></div>
<label>Email Address:</label> <div class="jsonData" id="userEmail"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-danger" id="errorInfo"></div>
</div>
HTML <head>

demo4.css
container {
margin-top: 20px;
}
label {
font-size: 10pt;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 10px;
}
label:first-child {
margin-top: 0px;
}
.jsonData {
font-size: 12pt;
}
 Add 20 pixel margin to top of page
 Make label text smaller, remove bottom margin and add
top margin, except on the first label
 Set the text size of JSON data returned to 12pt

jQuery
// Hide error section and user info section
$("#errorInfo").hide();
$("#userInfo").hide();
// Update content div with dynamic content
// Make Ajax call to server
$.ajax({
cache: false
// Populate the different fields and display the section
$('#userPhoneNumber').html(data.PhoneNumber);
$('#userEmail').html(data.Email);
$('#userName').html(data.Name);
$("#userInfo").fadeIn(1500);
} else {
// Display error message passed from server
$("#errorInfo").html(data.errormsg);
$("#errorInfo").fadeIn(1000);
}
});
});

 data-json=”JSON_data_element”
 data- prefix is ”standard”
 .each()
 Read value and get corresponding JSON
• $(this) – current element in jQuery
• data[”Name”] will return the JSON value “Name”
Demo 5 – Process JSON

jQuery
// For each element with class jsonData
$(".jsonData").each( function() {
// Get the field name from the custom attribute data-json
// and set the content of the current element to
// the corresponding JSON value
jsonfield = $(this).attr("data-json");
$(this).html(data[jsonfield]);
});
HTML
<div id="userInfo" class="well col-md-6">
<label>User Name:</label> <div class="jsonData" id=user"Name" data-json="Name"></div>
<label>Phone number:</label> <div class="jsonData" id="userPhoneNumber" data-json="PhoneNumber"></div>
<label>Email Address:</label> <div class="jsonData" id="userEmail" data-json="Email"></div>
</div>
$("div[data-json]").each( function() {
Demo 5 – Process JSON

 JSON name = id of element to put data in
 Less HTML markup
 Still very little code, and very flexible
 Add # in front of element name!
jQuery
$.each(data, function(id, item) {
elementName = "#" + id;
elementValue = data[id];
$(elementName).html(elementValue);
});
HTML
<label>User Name:</label> <div id="Name"></div>
<label>Phone number:</label> <div id="PhoneNumber"></div>
<label>Email Address:</label> <div id="Email"></div>
Demo 6 – Process JSON (another way)

Demo 7 – Bootstrap plugin
 Plugin by @wenzhixin
 Get it at http://bootstrap-table.wenzhixin.net.cn/
 CDN hosted version at CloudFlare.com
 Minimal HTML markup
 Javascript mainly to define columns and settings

HTML
<div id="tableToolbar">
<div class="toolbarText">My Contacts</div>
</div>
<table id="ContactTable"></table>
jQuery (partial)
$("#ContactTable").bootstrapTable({
url: 'ajax_Demo7_GetAllContacts?OpenAgent',
search: true,
showRefresh: true,
pagination: true,
pageSize: 25,
classes: "table-condensed table-hover table-striped tableContent",
toolbar: "#tableToolbar",
columns: [{
field: 'FirstName',

width: 80,
sortable: true
}, {
field: 'LastName',
title: 'Last Name',
width: 90,
sortable: true
}, {
…

Demo 7 – Bootstrap Table plugin

Demo 8 – Simple contact database
 Table of contacts – use bootstrap-table plugin
 Click on user to display more details about them
 Buttons
• Edit
• Save
• New
• Delete
 Add refresh/reload of table when updated

 Lotusscript agents needed
• ajax_Demo8_GetAllContacts (reused from Demo 7)
• ajax_Demo8_GetContactDetails
• ajax_Demo8_SaveContact
o If DocUNID is blank, create new contact
o Otherwise update existing contact
• ajax_Demo8_DeleteContact
 HTML page changes
• Add section for contact details
• Detect click on row to display details
• Add buttons and jQuery code

HTML – buttons
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-primary" id="btnNewContact">New</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-primary" id="btnEditContact">Edit</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-success" id="btnSaveContact">Save</button>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-danger pull-right" id="btnDeleteContact">Delete</button>
jQuery – Edit and New buttons
//*** Button actions
$("#btnEditContact").on("click", function(e) {
editContact();
});
$("#btnNewContact").on("click", function() {
editContact();
// Empty all input fields
$('input[data-notesfield]').each( function() {
$(this).val("");
});
// Empty hidden DocUNID field
$("#docUNID").attr("data-UNID","");
// Hide ‘Delete’ button
$("#btnDeleteContact").hide();
});

jQuery – Save button
$("#btnSaveContact").on("click", function() {
$("#btnSaveContact").hide();
var json = new Object();
// Store field values in JSON object
var docunid = $("#docUNID").attr("data-UNID");
json["DocUNID"] = docunid;
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var notesfield = $(this).attr("data-notesfield");
json[notesfield] = $(this).val();
});
// Perform a call to the server to save values
$.ajax({
url: "ajax_Demo8_SaveContact?OpenAgent",
type: "POST",
data: json
if (data.status=="error") {
alert("Failure: " + data.msg);
} else if (data.status=="success") {
setReadMode(); // Convert INPUT back to DIV
$("#contactTable").bootstrapTable("refresh", {silent: true});
}).fail( function(e) {
alert("Failure!","Failed to save contact. Error: " + e.errorThrown);
});
$("#btnEditContact").show();
});

jQuery – Delete button
$("#btnDeleteContact").on("click", function(e) {
var docunid = $("#docUNID").attr("data-UNID");
$.ajax({
url: "ajax_Demo8_DeleteContact?OpenAgent",
type: "POST",
data: {DocUNID: docunid }
alert("Failure: " + data.msg);
$("#contactTable").bootstrapTable("refresh", {silent: true});
// Empty all input fields
$(this).val("");
});
// Empty all div with Notes data
$('div[data-notesfield]').each( function() {
$(this).html("");
});
// Empty hidden DocUNID storage
$("#docUNID").attr("data-UNID","")
$("#btnDeleteContact").hide();
$("#btnEditContact").hide();
}
alert("Failure!","Failed to delete contact. Error: " + e.errorThrown);
});
});

jQuery – Detect click on table row
// Detect click on row in table
$("#contactTable").on('click-row.bs.table', function (e, row, $element) {
// Convert INPUT fields back to DIV just in case
setReadMode();
// Hide save button if visible
$("#btnSaveContact").hide();
// Get DocUNID value in table and load corresponding values from server
var unid = row.DocUNID;
displayDetails(unid);
});

jQuery – Load contact details from server and display on page
// Get contact details from Domino server and populate fields
// using the DocUIND value as lookup key
function displayDetails(docunid) {
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax_Demo8_GetContactDetails?OpenAgent',
data: {DocUNID: docunid},
cache: false
// For each element with data-notesfield attribute
notesfield = $(this).attr("data-notesfield");
if (data[notesfield]!=null) {
fieldvalue = data[notesfield];
$(this).html(fieldvalue);
}
});
// Store DocUNID in enmpty div for later use
$("#docUNID").attr("data-UNID",data.DocUNID);
// Display previously hidden editand delete buttons
$("#btnEditContact").show();
$("#btnDeleteContact").show();
}
});
}

jQuery – Change between DIV and INPUT
// Put contact details into edit mode by changing DIV to INPUT
function editContact() {
// Change all div with Notes data to input
var input = "<input class='jsonData inputNotesField form-control input-sm' id='" + id
input = input + "' data-notesfield='" + notesfield + "' value='" + $(this).html() + "'></input>";
$(this).replaceWith(input)
});
$("#btnSaveContact").show();
}
// Put contact details into read mode by changing INPUT to DIV
function setReadMode() {
var div = "<div class='jsonData displayNotesField' id='" + id
div = div + "' data-notesfield='" + notesfield + "'>" + $(this).val() + "</div>";
$(this).replaceWith(div)
});
}

 Similar to Demo 8, but using FullCalendar plugin
 Get it at http://fullcalendar.io
 Lotusscript agents
• ajax_Demo9_GetAllEvents
• Returning events between specific days
• Calendar automatically sends start and end date
• ajax_Demo8_GetEventDetails
• ajax_Demo8_UpdateEvent
• Triggered when moving event or changing duration
• Arguments: DocUNID, start date and end date
Demo 9 – Calendar using Domino data

 Calendar points to JSON of event data
jQuery – Display calendar and load JSON of event data from server
var eventSource = 'ajax_demo9_GetAllEvents?OpenAgent';
$("#notesCalendar").fullCalendar({
events: eventSource
});
 Calendar adds start and end dates to URL
 Agent returns events within date range
