Account settings

Often it is necessary to create user account settings for modules. You can do that by extending the User entity with properties.

Create the :ref:`user property on the server <server-account-settings>` before implementing the client.

1. Create a new file SettingsPanel.js:

   /* global go, Ext */
   
   go.modules.community.addressbook.SettingsPanel = Ext.extend(Ext.Panel, {
           title: t("Address book"),
           iconCls: 'ic-contacts',
           labelWidth: 125,
           layout: "form",
           initComponent: function () {
   
                   //The account dialog is an go.form.Dialog that loads the current User as entity.
                   this.items = [{
                           xtype: "fieldset",
                           items: [{
                                           xtype: "addressbookcombo",
                                           hiddenName: "addressBookSettings.defaultAddressBookId",
                                           fieldLabel: t("Default address book")
                                   }
                           ]}
                   ];
   
                   go.modules.community.addressbook.SettingsPanel.superclass.initComponent.call(this);
           }
   
   });

2. Add this file to scripts.txt

3. Edit Module.js and add the new "userSettingsPanel" to the array:

   /* global go */
   
   go.Modules.register("community", "addressbook", {
           mainPanel: "go.modules.community.addressbook.MainPanel",
           title: t("Address book"),
           userSettingsPanels: ["go.modules.community.addressbook.SettingsPanel"],
           etc...
   });
