Example: Get Entity Type and Numeric ID

This basic mashup is embedded to a detailed view of any Targetprocess entity. When the detailed view is opened, the mashup displays entity type and numeric ID of the entity in Developer tools > Console area of your web browser.

tau.mashups
    .addDependency('tp/general/view')
    .addMashup(function (view) {
        view.onRender(function($pageElement, context) {
    	    console.log(context.entity.type + ' #' + context.entity.id);
	    });
    });
PropertyDescriptionExample
context.entity.idNumeric ID of an entity123
context.entity.typeName of the type of an entityuserstory
1234

🚧

Get ID and Type from Context!

We change structure of pages and views in Targetprocess sometimes. If you retrieve entity ID from page element, your mashup may become broken with one of the regular software updates. Therefore please use context.entity properties instead.

Example: Append Custom Tab and Block

function renderContent($contentElement, context) {
    // $contentElement is jQuery content element for my red control
    // context contains entity type and entity id
    $contentElement.append('This is my content for ' + context.entity.type + ' #' + context.entity.id);
}

function renderHeader($headerElement, context) {
    // $headerElement is jQuery header element for my red control
    // context contains entity type and entity id
    $headerElement.find('.ui-label').css({color: 'red'});
}

// Append my controls to user story view
tau.mashups
    .addDependency('tp/userStory/view')
    .addMashup(function(view) {
        view.addTab('Red Tab', renderContent, renderHeader)
            .addBlock('Red Block', renderContent, renderHeader);
    });

// Append my controls to bug view
tau.mashups
    .addDependency('tp/bug/view')
    .addMashup(function(view) {
        view.addTab('Red Tab', renderContent, renderHeader)
            .addBlock('Red Block', renderContent, renderHeader);
    });

Example: Hide An Element

tau.mashups
    .addDependency('tp/userStory/view')
    .addMashup(function(view) {
        // sign up here on render event for user story view
        view.onRender(function($element, context) {
            // find and hide element with class abc
            $element.find('.abc').hide();
        });
    });

Unfortunately there is no direct and documented way to extend the Actions menu for now.
