mergeUserLayout

Merges a user's stored dashboard record over the layout the manifest ships. Pure: the rule the per-user dashboard turns on, exercisable without mounting a grid.

Signature​

mergeUserLayout(manifestLayout: Array<object>, record: object | Array<object> | null): Array<object>

The rule, in the order it is applied​

  1. The manifest layout is the base. Every widget it declares is present and every widget it does not declare is absent, whatever the record says.
  2. A widget with a stored entry takes that entry's geometry.
  3. A widget without a stored entry keeps its manifest position, so a page that gains a widget shows it rather than hiding it until the user next edits.
  4. The user's own order is kept for the widgets they arranged, and widgets the admin added since are appended after them.

Usage​

import { mergeUserLayout } from '@conduction/nextcloud-vue'

const manifest = [
  { id: 'kpis', widgetId: 'kpis', gridX: 0, gridY: 0, gridWidth: 3, gridHeight: 2 },
  { id: 'tasks', widgetId: 'tasks', gridX: 3, gridY: 0, gridWidth: 3, gridHeight: 2 },
]

mergeUserLayout(manifest, { items: [{ widgetId: 'kpis', gridX: 6 }] })
// kpis at gridX 6; tasks still at its manifest gridX 3

What it will not do​

It never lets a record overwrite anything but geometry. A stored title or styleConfig is ignored, because those belong to the manifest and an admin who changes one must see the change take effect.

mergeUserLayout(
  [{ widgetId: 'kpis', gridX: 0, title: 'Numbers' }],
  { items: [{ widgetId: 'kpis', gridX: 6, title: 'Mine' }] },
)
// → gridX 6, title 'Numbers'

And it never adds a widget back:

mergeUserLayout(
  [{ widgetId: 'kpis', gridX: 0 }],
  { items: [{ widgetId: 'kpis', gridX: 6 }, { widgetId: 'old', gridX: 0 }] },
)
// → only kpis; `old` is gone because the manifest no longer declares it
