Alfresco Angular components ( Documentation -> https://alfresco.github.io/adf-component-catalog )
Our code looks exactly like this example in your demo-shell app: https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components/blob/develop/demo-shell/src/app/components/process-service/process-service.component.ts
Because I've tried everything I can think of
it doesn't work - the component is never recognized
APS
there's the template
I think if you try to call formRenderingService.setComponentTypeResolver() in any custom component which embeds <adf-form> in its template, you'll see that it doesn't work as of 3.8
I was wondering how provider works under the covers. I guess maybe it makes a separate instance just for the built in form component somehow?
no luck - this is in app.module.ts
The problem is here: https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components/blob/122bd9facecda2fcc5a39ce53a17d68ffe9b680a/lib/process-services/src/lib/form/form.component.ts#L32 the form creates its own instance of the service
what you inject and customize is not what the form has inside
Hello guys I got a question:
How is Alfresco Digital Workspace intended to be customized?
These are options that came to my mind:
- Add customizations as Angular Library in Alfresco Digital Workspace application?
- Add customizations in Alfresco Content App and deploy it as root project in Alfresco Digital Workspace application?
- Something else?

Does anyone know how to determine the current tab in the form? We're trying to do some custom behavior based on which tab is showing. I've been trying to find a way to get the current tab index for most of the day but no luck. It's probably something simple I'm just missing. Please help :)
I guess we're safe unless angular changes their class names or adf stops using angular material tabs
Hey @DenysVuika - quick question - is the ability to set a field's value programmatically, as the user clicks around the form not an expected requirement? We were able to programmatically set checkbox value until 3.8. But with this code change we no longer can update a checkbox in real time programatically. It only happens on init of the checkbox (IE - after saving the form and reloading) https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components/pull/5657/files
Date fields are the same. There's no access to update the form widget in real time. Luckily text fields still work. But if that ever changes it would really break our form.
I worry that I'm doing some behavior that was never intended.
Hi @_MattSavino_twitter , as you pointed out we did some work in the checkbox widget after spotting a bug in the initialization. To be honest I didn't have your behavior in mind when refactoring this widget.
As you mentioned it will only be changed after the OnInit lifecycle hook.
I'll open a ticket to make sure that the value of this widget can be changed programatically.

@_MattSavino_twitter were you able to set the date programmatically in the Date Widget before? I don't think it was possible. This widget hasn't got any change other than the date format in the last year or so.
The problem with this widget is that it needs to be parsed in its On Init to follow the date format selected.
