Angular SDK

FlowxProcessRenderer is a library designed to render the UI of processes created via the Flowx Process Designer.

Breaking changes: Starting with version 4.0 the ui-sdk will no longer expect the authToken to be present in the LOCAL_STORAGE. Instead, the authToken will be passed as an input to the flx-process-renderer component. This is mandatory for the SSE to work properly.

Prerequisites

• Node.js min version 20 - Download Node.js
• Angular CLI version 19.2. Install Angular CLI globally using the following command:

npm install -g @angular/cli@19.2

This will allow you to run ng related commands from the terminal.

Angular project requirements

Your app MUST be created using the NG app from the @angular/cli~19.2 package. It also MUST use SCSS for styling.

npm install -g @angular/cli@19.2
ng new my-flowx-app

To install the npm libraries provided by FLOWX you will need to obtain access to the private FlowX Nexus registry. Please consult with your project DevOps.

The library uses Angular version @angular~19.2, npm v10.1.0 and node v20.9.0.

If you are using an older version of Angular (for example, v16), please consult the following link for update instructions:

Update Angular from v16.0 to v19.2

Installing the library

Use the following command to install the renderer library and its required dependencies:

npm install \
  @flowx/core-sdk@<version>\
  @flowx/core-theme@<version> \
  @flowx/angular-sdk@<version> \
  @flowx/angular-theme@<version> \
  @flowx/angular-ui-toolkit@<version> \
  @angular/cdk@19.2 \
  @types/event-source-polyfill

Replace <version> with the correct version corresponding to your platform version.

To find the right version, navigate to: Release Notes → Choose your platform version → Deployment guidelines → Component versions.

A few configurations are needed in the projects angular.json:

• To successfully link the pdf viewer, add the following declaration in the assets property:

{
  "glob": "**/*",
  "input": "node_modules/ng2-pdfjs-viewer/pdfjs",
  "output": "/assets/pdfjs"
}

Initial setup

Once installed, FlxProcessModule will be imported in the AppModule as FlxProcessModule.withConfig({}).

You MUST also import the dependencies of FlxProcessModule: HttpClientModule from @angular/common/http

Theming

Component theming is done through the @flowx/angular-theme library. The theme id is a required input for the renderer SDK component and is used to fetch the theme configuration. The id can be obtained from the admin panel in the themes section.

Authorization

Every request from the FlowX renderer SDK will be made using the HttpClientModule of the client app, which means those requests will go through every interceptor you define here. This is most important to know when building the auth method as it will be the job of the client app to intercept and decorate the requests with the necessary auth info (eg. Authorziation: Bearer ...).

It’s the responsibility of the client app to implement the authorization flow (using the OpenID Connect standard). The renderer SDK will expect the authToken to be passed to the flx-process-renderer as an input.

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClientModule, HTTP_INTERCEPTORS } from '@angular/common/http';
import { FlxProcessModule } from '@flowx/angular-sdk';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    // will be used by the renderer SDK to make requests
    HttpClientModule,
    // needed by the renderer SDK
    FlxProcessModule.withConfig({
      components: {},
      services: {},
    }),
  ],
  // this interceptor with decorate the requests with the Authorization header
  providers: [
    { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: AuthInterceptor, multi: true },
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

The withConfig() call is required in the application module where the process will be rendered. The withConfig() method accepts a config argument where you can pass extra config info, register a custom component, service, or custom validators.

Custom components will be referenced by name when creating the template config for a user task.

Custom validators will be referenced by name (currentOrLastYear) in the template config panel in the validators section of each generated form field.

// example with custom component, custom services and custom validator
FlxProcessModule.withConfig({
  components: {
    YourCustomComponentIdentifier: CustomComponent,
  },
  services: {
    NomenclatorService,
    LocalDataStoreService,
  },
  validators: { currentOrLastYear },
})

  // example of a custom validator that restricts data selection to
  // the current or the previous year

  currentOrLastYear: function currentOrLastYear(AC: AbstractControl): { [key: string]: any } {
    if (!AC) {
      return null;
    }

    const yearDate = moment(AC.value, YEAR_FORMAT, true);
    const currentDateYear = moment(new Date()).startOf('year');
    const lastYear = moment(new Date()).subtract(1, 'year').startOf('year');

    if (!yearDate.isSame(currentDateYear) && !yearDate.isSame(lastYear)) {
      return { currentOrLastYear: true };
    }

    return null;
  }

The error that the validator returns MUST match the validator name.

The entry point of the library is the <flx-process-renderer></flx-process-renderer> component. A list of accepted inputs is found below:

<flx-process-renderer
  [apiUrl]="baseApiUrl"
  [processApiPath]="processApiPath"
  [authToken]="authToken"
  [themeId]="themeId"
  [processName]="processName"
  [processStartData]="processStartData"
  [workspaceId]="workspaceId"
  [debugLogs]="debugLogs"
  [keepState]="keepState"
  [language]="language"
  [legacyHttpVersion]="legacyHttpVersion"
  [projectInfo]="projectInfo"
  [locale]="locale",
  [cache]="cache"
/>

Parameters

Name	Description	Type	Mandatory	Default value	Example
apiUrl	Your base url	string	true	-	https://yourDomain.dev
processApiPath	Process subpath	string	true	-	onboarding
authToken	Authorization token	string	true	-	‘eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIn…‘
themeId	Theme id used to style the process. Can be obtained from the themes section in the admin	string	true	-	‘123-456-789’
processName	Identifies a process	string	true	-	client_identification
workspaceId	Workspace id	string	true	-	‘8f52744-8403-4e8d…‘

debugLogs	When set to true this will print WS messages in the console	boolean	false	false	-
language	Language used to localize the application.	string	false	en	-
keepState	By default all process data is reset when the process renderer component gets destroyed. Setting this to true will keep process data even if the viewport gets destroyed	boolean	false	false	-
isDraft	When true allows starting a process in draft state. *Note that isDraft = true requires that processName be the id (number) of the process and NOT the name.	boolean	false	false	-
legacyHttpVersion	Set this to true only for HTTP versions < 2 in order for SSE to work properly. Can be omitted otherwise.	boolean	false	false	-
projectInfo	Information about the project that contains the process that is being run.	object	true	-	{ projectId: '1234-5678-9012' }
locale	Locale used to localize the application.	string	false	en-US	’en-US’
cache	Caching of CMS resources (cached resources include: theme configurations, substitution tags, enumerations, media library assets)	boolean	false	true	-
customLoader	Custom loader components for different loading scenarios	object	false	-	{ startProcess: StartLoaderComponent, saveData: SaveLoaderComponent }

When the cache is enabled, these CMS resources are stored in the browser’s cache storage, which significantly improves performance and loading times by reducing repeated network requests for the same resources.

Environment Recommendations

• During Development: It is recommended to disable caching by setting [cache]="false" to ensure you are always working with the latest resources. This prevents outdated assets from being used during active development.
• For Production: Always keep caching enabled ([cache]="true") to maximize performance and optimize resource loading times.

Data and actions

Custom components will be hydrated with data through the $data input observable which must be defined in the custom component class.

@Component({
  selector: 'my-custom-component',
  templateUrl: './custom-component.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./custom-component.component.scss'],
})
export class CustomComponentComponent  {
  data$ = input<Observable<any> | null>(null)
}

Component actions are always found under data -> actionsFn key.

Action names are configurable via the process editor.

# data object example
data: {
    actionsFn: {
      action_one: () => void;
      action_two: () => void;
    }
  }

Custom component validation

Custom components can validate their own status. We can inject the FLX_VALIDATOR_SERVICE service and use it to validate the component. Whe service exposes the following properties:

• validate(isValid: boolean) - used to validate the component
• saveData(data: any) - used to save data
• validated$ - used to monitor external submission from the process

Example of the a custom component that validates an input with a required validator:

@Component({
  selector: 'flx-custom-validation',
  imports: [CommonModule, ReactiveFormsModule],
  template: `
    Custom validation:
    <input [formControl]="fc" />
    @if (formSubmitted() && fc.invalid) {
      <span>error</span>
    }
  `
})
export class FlxCustomValidationComponent implements OnInit {
  data$ = input<Observable<any> | null>(null) // can be used to get process data & actions

  validationService = inject(FLX_VALIDATOR_SERVICE) // service used to validate the custom component - ony use in components that need validation

  fc = new FormControl('', Validators.required) // the form control has a required validator.
  formSubmitted = signal(false)

  ngOnInit(): void {
    // update validity
    this.fc.statusChanges.subscribe((status) => {
      this.validationService.validate(status === 'VALID')
    })
    // save data
    this.fc.valueChanges.subscribe((value) => {
      this.validationService.saveData({ app: { test1: value, test2: `${value}${value}` } })
    })
    // monitor external submission
    this.validationService.validated$.subscribe(() => {
      this.formSubmitted.set(true)
    })
  }
}

Custom interceptors

• Starting from the FlowX SDKs version 4.6, the Angular HttpClientModule is no longer used internally to make HTTP requests. Thus, we have a new mechanism that allows you to create custom interceptors for handling HTTP requests.

Request Interceptors

• Here is an example that illustrates how to create an interceptor that adds a custom header to all outgoing requests:

// Import the necessary types
import { FLX_REQUEST_INTERCEPTORS_CONFIG } from '@flowx/angular-sdk'
import { HttpRequestInterceptor } from '@flowx/core-sdk'

// create the interceptor factory function

const customHeaderInterceptor: HttpRequestInterceptor[] = [
  {
    onFulfilled: (response) => {
      response.headers['custom-header'] = 'custom-value'
      return response
    },
  }
]

// Add the interceptor to the providers array in the main app module

{
  provide: FLX_REQUEST_INTERCEPTORS_CONFIG,
  useValue: customHeaderInterceptor,
}

Response Interceptors

• Here is an example that illustrates how to create an interceptor that shows a message when a response errors out:

import { FLX_RESPONSE_INTERCEPTORS_CONFIG } from '@flowx/angular-sdk'
import { HttpResponseInterceptor } from '@flowx/core-sdk'

const customHErrorInterceptor: HttpResponseInterceptor[] = [
  {
    onRejected: (response) => {
      if (response.status !== 200) {
        console.error('Something went wrong, we should handle this!', response.message)
      }
      return response
    }
  }
]

// Add the interceptor to the providers array in the main app module
{
  provide: FLX_RESPONSE_INTERCEPTORS_CONFIG,
  useValue: customHErrorInterceptor,
}

Interceptors that use Dependency injection

• If you need to use a service in your interceptor, you can use provider factories coupled with the deps property to inject the service into the interceptor:

// the interceptor factory function that receives the custom service as an argument through dependency injection:
const interceptor: (custom: any) => HttpRequestInterceptor[] = (customService: CustomService) => [{
  onFulfilled: (response) => {
    // do something with the custom service
    // interceptor logic
    return response
  }
}]

// Add the interceptor to the providers array in the main app module
{
  provide: FLX_REQUEST_INTERCEPTORS_CONFIG,
  useFactory: (customService: CustomService) => [
    interceptorFactory(customService),
  ],
  deps: [CustomService], // provider factory dependencies
}

Using custom icons

The SDK provides a mechanism for using custom icons. Providers for custom icons should be included in the main app module to be available for the whole app.

import { FlxIconModule } from '@flowx/angular-ui-toolkit'

// create a custom dictionary of icons
const customIconDictionary = {
  'custom-icon': 'custom icon svg'
}

// add the custom icon dictionary to the providers array in the main app module.
providers: [
  ...
  importProvidersFrom(FlxIconModule),
  provideExtraIconSet(customIconDictionary),
]

Process end handling

The SDK provides a mechanism for container applications to handle process completion events through the (processEnd) output event. This allows you to implement custom logic when a main process reaches an end state, such as redirecting users or triggering cleanup operations.

The processEnd event is triggered when the main process (not subprocesses) reaches any terminal state:

• FINISHED - Process completed successfully
• FAILED - Process encountered an error
• ABORTED - Process was manually terminated
• Other terminal states

Only the main process triggers this event. Subprocess completions do not trigger the event to avoid unnecessary interruptions during complex process flows.

Implementation

To handle process end events, bind to the (processEnd) output event of the <flx-process-renderer> component:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-process',
  template: `
    <flx-process-renderer
      [apiUrl]="apiUrl"
      [authToken]="authToken"
      [processName]="processName"
      [processStartData]="processStartData"
      [workspaceId]="workspaceId"
      [processApiPath]="processApiPath"
      [themeId]="themeId"
      [projectInfo]="projectInfo"
      (processEnd)="onProcessEnd()"
    />
  `
})
export class ProcessComponent {
  constructor(private router: Router) {}

  onProcessEnd(): void {
    // Your custom logic here
    console.log('Process has ended');
    
    // Example: Redirect to home page
    this.router.navigate(['/dashboard']);
  }
}

Custom loader

The SDK provides a mechanism for container applications to customize the loader UI displayed during process execution. This allows you to replace the default FlowX loader with your own custom implementation based on different loading scenarios.

Configuration

To configure custom loaders, add them to the FlxProcessModule.withConfig() method in your application module:

import { FlxProcessModule } from '@flowx/angular-sdk';
import { Type } from '@angular/core';

// Define your custom loader components
@Component({
  selector: 'app-start-loader',
  template: `
    <div class="custom-start-loader">
      <div class="spinner"></div>
      <p>Starting process...</p>
    </div>
  `
})
export class StartProcessLoaderComponent {}

@Component({
  selector: 'app-specific-action-loader',
  template: `
    <div class="custom-specific-action-loader">
      <div class="spinner"></div>
      <p>Executing specific action...</p>
    </div>
  `
})
export class SpecificActionLoaderComponent {}

// Register the custom loaders in your app module
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    FlxProcessModule.withConfig({
      customLoader: {
        startProcess: StartProcessLoaderComponent,
        // reloadProcess: ReloadProcessLoaderComponent,
        // defaultAction: DefaultActionLoaderComponent,
        // defaultUpload: DefaultUploadLoaderComponent,
        actions: {
          action1: SpecificActionLoaderComponent,
          // action2: SaveDataLoaderComponent,
        },
      },
      components: {},
      services: {},
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

API Specification

The custom loader configuration accepts an object of type CustomLoader:

type CustomLoader = {
  actions?: Record<string, Type<any>>
  startProcess?: Type<any>
  reloadProcess?: Type<any>
  defaultAction?: Type<any>
  defaultUpload?: Type<any>
}

Loader Types

• startProcess - Displayed when starting or resuming a process
• reloadProcess - Displayed when reloading a process
• defaultAction - Default loader for actions when loaderType is 'action'. Used when no specific action loader is found in the actions record
• defaultUpload - Default loader for file uploads when loaderType is 'upload'
• actions - Record mapping specific action identifiers to custom loaders. When an action is executed, the SDK will first check for a matching entry in this record before falling back to defaultAction

Fallback Behavior

If no custom loader is provided for a specific type, the SDK will automatically fall back to the built-in FlowX loader. This ensures your application continues to function even with partial custom loader configuration.

You can use substitution tags and media library assets within your custom loader components to create rich, branded loading experiences that match your application’s design system.

Enumerations and translations

The SDK library provides a mechanism for handling enumerations and translations. The API for the method that handles enumerations is provided by the getEnumeration method which is Promise based.

These methods should only be used in custom components and within a process context because internal requests depend on the presence of a running project details.

Custom enumerations

import {getEnumeration} from '@flowx/angular-sdk'

// get an enumeration by name
const enumeration = await getEnumeration('enumerationName')

// get enumeration with a parent
const enumeration = await getEnumeration('enumerationName', 'parentName')

// get enumerations and cache the result for subsequent calls
const enumerations = await getEnumerations('enumerationName', null, true)

Translations

The SDK provides a FlxLocalizePipe that allows you to manage translations within your application. The pipe is standalone and can be used both in templates and in custom components.

• Here is an example of how to use the pipe in a template:

// import the pipe in the module where you want to use it
import { FlxLocalizePipe } from '@flowx/angular-sdk'

imports: [
  ...
  FlxLocalizePipe
]

<!-- use the pipe in the template of a custom component -->
<span>{{ 'hello' | flxLocalize }}</span>

• Here is an example of how to use the pipe in a custom component:

const localize = new FlxLocalizePipe()
const translatedText = localize.transform('@@substitution_tag')

Analytics

The SDK provides a mechanism for collecting analytics events through a unified CustomEvent system. These events can be used to track screens and action events.

To use analytics features, make sure you’ve imported the necessary SDK module:

import {
   ANALYTICS_EVENTS,
   AnalyticsData,
   pushAnalyticsData,
} from '@flowx/core-sdk';

Emitting Analytics Events

Analytics events are dispatched using the pushAnalyticsData(payload: AnalyticsData) method. The SDK defines two event types:

enum ANALYTICS_EVENTS {
  SCREEN = 'SCREEN',
  ACTION = 'ACTION',
}

Each analytics event should be an object of type AnalyticsData:

type AnalyticsData = {
  type: ANALYTICS_EVENTS;
  value: string;
  screen?: string;
  component?: string;
  label?: string;
  customPayload?: object;
}

The value property represents the identifier set in the process definition.

For ACTION type events there are some additional properties provided:

• component - The type of component triggering the action
• label - The label of the component
• screen - The identifier of the screen containing the component, if set

Listening for Analytics Events

You can subscribe to analytics events using the standard CustomEvent API:

ngOnInit(): void {
  document.addEventListener('flowx:analytics', this.analyticsListener);
}

analyticsListener = (event: CustomEvent<AnalyticsData>) => {
  console.log('Received flowx:analytics event:', event.detail);
};

ngOnDestroy(): void {
  document.removeEventListener('flowx:analytics', this.analyticsListener);
}

Ensure that you remove the event listener on component destruction to avoid memory leaks.

Custom Payload

This functionality, allowing you to capture and send custom data alongside standard analytics events.

When analytics custom payload is configured in FlowX Designer, the renderer automatically processes variable substitution and includes the resulting data in analytics events.

1. Receive custom payload configuration

   The renderer receives the analytics configuration as a JSON string with variable placeholders:

   "analyticsCustomPayload": "{\n \"name\": ${app.input}\n}"
   
2. Process variable substitution

   The SDK replaces variables with actual values from the process data store:

   Template

   {
       "name": "${app.input}",
       "client": "${app.client}",
       "amount": "${app.amount}"
   }
   
3. Add to analytics event

   The processed payload is included in the analytics event under the customPayload property:

   // Analytics event structure with custom payload
   {
       type: 'ACTION', // or 'SCREEN'
       info: {
           value: 'Save personal data',
           screen: 'Personal Data',
           component: 'BUTTON',
           label: 'Save',
           customPayload: {
               name: "john",
               client: { id: "123", name: "John Doe" },
               amount: 1500
           }
       }
   }
   

Caching

The SDK provides a caching mechanism for static resources. The cache is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the cache input of the flx-process-renderer component to false. When turned on, the cache will store the static resources in the browser’s cache storage.

Common Scenario: When making updates to CMS resources (like substitution tags or media library images) during development, you may find that after a browser refresh, the changes don’t appear.

Important: This issue is most commonly encountered when transitioning from versions before 4.7.x to version 4.7.x or newer, as the caching behavior changed

Common Scenario: When making updates to CMS resources (like substitution tags or media library images) during development, you may find that after a browser refresh, the changes don’t appear.

Important: This issue is most commonly encountered when transitioning from versions before 4.7.x to version 4.7.x or newer, as the caching behavior changed

To reset the cache, you can go to the Application (Chrome) or Storage (Firefox) tab in the browser Dev tools and either clear the cache or disable the cache for the current site.

Browser	Dev Tools Tab	Screenshot
Chrome	Application tab
Firefox	Storage tab

How to clear the cache:

• Chrome: Navigate to Application → Storage → Cache storage → Right-click on “flowx-resources-cache” → Clear
• Firefox: Navigate to Storage → Cache Storage → Right-click → Clear

Interacting with the process

Data from the process is communicated via the Server Send Event protocol under the following keys:

Name	Description	Example
Data	data updates for process model bound to default/custom components
ProcessMetadata	updates about process metadata, ex: progress update, data about how to render components
RunAction	instructs the UI to perform the given action

Task management public API

The Angular SDK provides a comprehensive public API for building custom task management interfaces. This API allows you to fetch tasks, manage comments, handle task actions, and interact with task data programmatically.

Importing the Service

To use the task management public API, inject the PublicTasksService from @flowx/angular-sdk:

import { PublicTasksService } from '@flowx/angular-sdk';
import { inject } from '@angular/core';

export class MyComponent {
  private taskService = inject(PublicTasksService);
}

Available Types

The Angular SDK exports the following types for task management:

import {
  PublicTasksService,
  TMView,
  TMViewTask,
  TMViewColumn,
  TMTaskComment,
  TMTaskHistory,
  TMUser,
  TMEnumerations,
  TMFilterOperators,
  TMFilters,
  TMSort,
  TMPaginatedResponse,
  TMSetupOptions,
  TMExecuteTaskActions,
  TMOperatorsType,
} from '@flowx/angular-sdk';

Initialization

Before using the task management API, you need to initialize the task manager resources. This fetches the view configuration, enumerations, and filter operators.

this.taskService.getTaskManagerResources({
  apiUrl: 'https://yourDomain.dev/tasks',
  authToken: 'your-auth-token',
  appInfo: { appId: 'app-123' },
  viewId: 'view-456',
  workspaceId: 'workspace-789',
  themeId: 'theme-012', // Optional
  language: 'en', // Optional
