RFC87: add button to load GroupComparison table data in external tool #4938

pappde · 2024-07-04T00:18:05Z

Summary

This PR addresses all requirements for RFC87, which involves conditionally adding a button to the GroupComparison data tables (only visible to relevant users), then launching the external tool with the data.

This PR implements a config-driven solution for defining "CustomButtons", so anyone can update their instance application.properties to launch their own custom URL protocol/software with the table data. This PR alone will not impact the appearance of the website without the "custom_buttons_json" config being defined.

Key changes:

Config-Driven: no tool-specific logic.
Check UserAgent (e.g. Windows)
Check if CustomButton is installed.
FontDetector added to check if software is installed
CopyDownloadButtons: Inject button based on config
Launch CustomButton with the data
Visualize your Data page: add section based on config

Testing Notes

To test this PR with a CustomButton, if the backend application.properties don't define custom_button_json, then you can use either of the following methods.

Browser Console

Paste the following into the browser console, then reload the page.

localStorage.frontendConfig = `{"serverConfig":{"download_custom_buttons_json":"[{\\\"id\\\":\\\"avm\\\",\\\"name\\\":\\\"AVM for cBioPortal\\\",\\\"tooltip\\\":\\\"Launch AVM for cBioPortal with data (copied to clipboard)\\\",\\\"image_src\\\":\\\"https:\/\/aquminmedical.com\/images\/content\/AquminLogoSimple.png\\\",\\\"required_user_agent\\\":\\\"Win\\\",\\\"required_installed_font_family\\\":\\\"AVMInstalled\\\",\\\"url_format\\\":\\\"avm:\/\/?importclipboard&-AutoMode=true&-ProjectNameHint={studyName}&-ImportDataLength={dataLength}\\\",\\\"visualize_title\\\":\\\"AVM for cBioPortal (Windows)\\\",\\\"visualize_href\\\":\\\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/avm-cbioportal\\\",\\\"visualize_description\\\":\\\"Windows software that loads data into 3D Landscapes for interactive visualization and pathway analysis. Download table data directly from cBioPortal.\\\",\\\"visualize_image_src\\\":\\\"https:\/\/github.com\/user-attachments\/assets\/5c17f5ed-0357-4ffa-a6e1-5a9d435dd3c5\\\"}]"}}`

Tests

If no config is defined, then there will be no other visible impact to the website.
Visualize Your Data page: additional section at bottom once config defined.
Data Tables: additional button once config defined and tool installed.
Clicking the button will launch the tool.

With the above configuration, the button will only appear on a windows system with the software (and custom font) installed.

Changes Summary

Configuration

config/IAppConfig: added custom_buttons_json
src/config/serverConfigDefaults: default to empty string
Visualize.tsx: updated per RFC87, config-driven

CopyDownloadButtons Update

CopyDownloadButtons: added conditionally rendered section, config-driven
ICopyDownloadButtons.ts/SimpleCopyDownloadControls/CopyDownloadControls: expose the downloadData() function. Previously, it was hidden behind handleDownload/handleCopy but the implementation needs access to the actual data.

New Component

Added module to shared/components/CustomButtons/
Added unit tests
Added open source utility for checking if a font is installed to …/CustomButtons/utils. Since we can’t check if a URL protocol is supported, we instead use the solution from the specification for checking if a custom font is installed.
- OPEN-SOURCE-DOCUMENTATION: file updated with note about (modified) code that is used
Clipboard: we use the window.clipboard API. It is supported on all major browsers. This is used to send the data to the app by copying the data to the clipboard prior to launching.

Global State Dependency

CustomButton leverages the fact that the GroupComparisonPage reference is injected into the window. It uses this to: determine the study name

Considerations

Some things to consider that we could update.

FontDetector: is the update to OPEN-SOURCE-DOCUMENTATION needed? Is there a more appropriate location for the module itself?
Commit Log: we could squash
Console.Log: noticed that generally the codebase avoids this, but there are a couple of logs I left in there, like when you click the button. That is a rare and important event so it seemed appropriate, but we could remove it.
Error Handling: there are a couple of places that console.error(). There is one place where if the launch fails we use alert(). There is precedent in the codebase, but we could use a different reporting mechanism if desired.

Checks

Added unit tests.

This utility is a workaround to basically check a boolean "installed" flag set on the client system. It appears there isn't a way to check if a particular URL protocol is supported, or a particular software is installed, so this was the workaround that I found. The software installs a special font, then the frontend code can check if that font is installed by indirectly checking if a fallback font is used (by looking at sizes).

This code is modified from the original to be more efficient.

ALTERNATIVES
A) We could remove the FontDetector code, then the CustomButton would appear depending on UserAgent only (e.g. all Windows browsers). That could work, since I believe we can detect if launching the URL protocol failed then direct the user to another page.
B) If there is another way to detect if a particular URL protocol is supported or a particular software is installed, then we could try that. However, my research into the issue seemed to conclude there wasn't.

We display the components here following the Download button. I couldn't get the "" working in the HTML code so I moved the showDownload test to this function. I believe it's better that way anyways.

The click handler for CustomButton needs the actual data, so downloadData() is passed to the component. There are two ways that buttons get data though, synchronous (SimpleCopyDownloadControls) and asynchronous (CopyDownloadControls). So we set pass downloadData as a Promise.

Comments related to this are tagged as "TECH_DOWNLOADDATA".

OPTIONAL: technically, CustomButton could take a Promise<ICopyDownloadData>, but then we would have to move that interface out of CopyDownloadControls.tsx and I wanted to minimize the changes.
