	- Updated comment routes to be simpler. - Updated comments JS to align better with updated component system. - Documented available global JS functions/services. - Removed redundant controller method. - Added window.$events helpers for validation messages and success/error. - Updated JS events system to not be class based for simplicity. - Added window.trans_plural method to handle pluralisation/replacements where you already have the translation string itself. Fixes #1836

# JavaScript Components
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This document details the format for JavaScript components in BookStack. This is a really simple class-based setup with a few helpers provided.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Defining a Component in JS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
class Dropdown {
 | 
						|
    setup() {
 | 
						|
        this.toggle = this.$refs.toggle;
 | 
						|
        this.menu = this.$refs.menu;
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|
        this.speed = parseInt(this.$opts.speed);
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All usage of $refs, $manyRefs and $opts should be done at the top of the `setup` function so any requirements can be easily seen.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Using a Component in HTML
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A component is used like so:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```html
 | 
						|
<div component="dropdown"></div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<!-- or, for multiple -->
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<div components="dropdown image-picker"></div>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The names will be parsed and new component instance will be created if a matching name is found in the `components/index.js` componentMapping. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Element References
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Within a component you'll often need to refer to other element instances. This can be done like so:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```html
 | 
						|
<div component="dropdown">
 | 
						|
    <span refs="dropdown@toggle othercomponent@handle">View more</span>
 | 
						|
</div>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can then access the span element as `this.$refs.toggle` in your component.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Component Options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```html
 | 
						|
<div component="dropdown"
 | 
						|
    option:dropdown:delay="500"
 | 
						|
    option:dropdown:show>
 | 
						|
</div>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Will result with `this.$opts` being:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    "delay": "500",
 | 
						|
    "show": ""  
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Global Helpers
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are various global helper libraries which can be used in components:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// HTTP service
 | 
						|
window.$http.get(url, params);
 | 
						|
window.$http.post(url, data);
 | 
						|
window.$http.put(url, data);
 | 
						|
window.$http.delete(url, data);
 | 
						|
window.$http.patch(url, data);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Global event system
 | 
						|
// Emit a global event
 | 
						|
window.$events.emit(eventName, eventData);
 | 
						|
// Listen to a global event
 | 
						|
window.$events.listen(eventName, callback);
 | 
						|
// Show a success message
 | 
						|
window.$events.success(message);
 | 
						|
// Show an error message
 | 
						|
window.$events.error(message);
 | 
						|
// Show validation errors, if existing, as an error notification
 | 
						|
window.$events.showValidationErrors(error);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Translator
 | 
						|
// Take the given plural text and count to decide on what plural option
 | 
						|
// to use, Similar to laravel's trans_choice function but instead
 | 
						|
// takes the direction directly instead of a translation key.
 | 
						|
window.trans_plural(translationString, count, replacements);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Component System
 | 
						|
// Parse and initialise any components from the given root el down.
 | 
						|
window.components.init(rootEl);
 | 
						|
// Get the first active component of the given name
 | 
						|
window.components.first(name);
 | 
						|
``` |
