Creating the View Route for Sessions in Open Event Frontend

This blog article will illustrate how the creation of the view route for sessions is done and how the sessions API is integrated with it on Open Event Frontend, which allows for the sessions and their associated data to be displayed. Also, it illustrates how the template for my-sessions is modified to make it possible to reuse it for the view route with desired changes.

The primary end point of Open Event API with which we are concerned with for fetching the the session details is

GET /v1/sessions/{session_identifier}

For displaying the complete session information on the view route, the session type,  speakers and session track are also required. All of these extra attributes have a relationship with a given session and hence can be fetched in a single query. Thus the model for the route is defined as follows:

model(params) {
return this.store.findRecord(‘session’, params.session_id, {
include: ‘session-type,speakers,track’
});

The view route is located at app/routes/my-sessions/view and the parent route, app/routes/my-sessions has another sub route within it called list. The list route shows upcoming and past sessions to the user based on the params passed to it. Thus a navigation is required to alternate between those two routes. However, this navigation should not be present in the view route. Thus the template my-sessions.hbs is modified as follows:

{{#if (and (not-includes session.currentRouteName ‘my-sessions.view’))}}
<h1 class=”ui header”>{{t ‘My Sessions’}}</h1>

{{#tabbed-navigation}}
{{#link-to ‘my-sessions.list’ ‘upcoming’ class=’item’}}
{{t ‘Upcomming Sessions’}}
{{/link-to}}
{{#link-to ‘my-sessions.list’ ‘past’ class=’item’}}
{{t ‘Past Sessions’}}
{{/link-to}}
{{/tabbed-navigation}}

</div>
{{outlet}}
</div>
{{else}}
{{outlet}}
{{/if}}

The session.currentRouteName property allows conditional rendering of the navigation component.

Finally the template for the view route is created:

   

{{#if (eq model.state ‘accepted’)}}

{{t ‘Accepted’}}

{{else if (eq model.state ‘pending’)}}

{{t ‘Pending’}}

{{else if (eq model.state ‘rejected’)}}

{{t ‘Rejected’}}

{{/if}}
</div>

{{t ‘From ‘}}{{moment-format model.startAt ‘ddd, MMM DD HH:mm A’}}{{t ‘ to ‘}}{{moment-format model.endsAt ‘ddd, MMM DD HH:mm A’}}

</div>

{{#if model.shortAbstract}}
<p> <i>{{model.shortAbstract}}</i> </p>
{{/if}}
{{#if model.sessionType.name}}
<h3 class=”ui left aligned header”>Session Type</h3>
<p>{{model.sessionType.name}}</p>
{{/if}}
{{#if model.track.name}}
<h3 class=”ui left aligned header”>Track</h3>
<p>{{model.track.name}}</p>
{{/if}}
{{#if model.slidesUrl}}
<h3 class=”ui left aligned header”>Slide</h3>
<a href=”{{model.slidesUrl}}”>{{t ‘Download’}}</a>
{{/if}}
</div>

Based on the state property of the session, the label displaying the status is appropriately coloured wherein green, yellow and red colours denote accepted, pending and rejected sessions respectively. Since most of the fields of the session model are optional in nature, all of the them are subjected to conditional checks for existence.
