Components

Reusable page components used throughout the CenturyLink Platform UI/UX.

Primary Content

Increase page speed to comprehension by giving the page a visual hierachy. Use the .primary class to wrap a .container to add a white background to the main content of the view. For an example, see the basic starter page.

    </div>
  </div>

Action Toolbar

Use .action-toolbar on an <ol> or <ul> to get a menu style toolbar. using the overflowMenu widget, as seen bellow, allowes for dynamic creation of a "more" dropdown link when the toolbar is too narrow. 

    
<div class="action-area">
  <ol class="action-toolbar" data-bind="widget: 'overflowMenu'">
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-play'></svg> start</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-stop'></svg> stop</button></li>
    <li><button type="button" disabled><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-stop'></svg> disabled</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-refresh'></svg> restart</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-archive'></svg> archive</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-snapshot'></svg> snapshot</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-disaster-recovery'></svg> recovery</button></li>
  </ol>
</div>

If you need to have a right align link use the classes action-toolbar-left and action-toolbar-right. If you need more than a single link use a dropdown. 

    
<div class="action-area">
  <ol class="action-toolbar-left" data-bind="widget: 'overflowMenu'">
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-play'></svg> start</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-stop'></svg> stop</button></li>
    <li><button type="button" disabled><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-stop'></svg> disabled</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-refresh'></svg> restart</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-archive'></svg> archive</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-snapshot'></svg> snapshot</button></li>
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-disaster-recovery'></svg> recovery</button></li>
  </ol>
  <ol class="action-toolbar-right">
    <li><button type="button"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-settings'></svg> settings</button></li>
  </ol>
</div>

ActionToolbar Active Button

Some actions may take a long period of time to complete, or toggle a slideWell open and closed. By adding the .active class to the button and changing the verbage, we can let the user know that an action is taking place.

    
<li><button type="button" disabled class="active"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-play'></svg> starting&hellip;</button></li>

Action Toolbar Confirmations

Some actions can be costly or even dangerous and therefore should be confirmed to make sure that the user actually wants to preform them. This shouldn’t be done on every action just ones that have possible negative side effects, like taking a service offline for a period of time.

Cyclops provides a widget, the actionToolbarConfirm, that can be used to get confirmation from the user. For more information about the specific options and configurations available please see the actionToolbarConfirm code page.

Activity History

An important part of the CenturyLink Control Portal experience, is the logging of user activity. Actions performed by the user against your service (CRUD operations for example) should be logged and displayed in the Accounts' activity history, as well as on the entity (e.g. server) or rollup pages (e.g. data center, server group).

Alerts

Provide contextual feedback messages for user actions with alert messages. Wrap any text and an optional dismiss button in .alert and one of the four contextual classes (e.g., .alert-success) for basic alert messages. Responsive behavior is built in.

      
// alert with an icon and header
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
  <div class="alert-icon">
    <svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-plus-circle'></svg>

  <h4>Success!</h4>
  <p>This is a successful message.</p>
</div>

// text only alert
<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">

Billing Summary

When possible, expose a billing estimate for your service so that customers can see how their usage of individual services will impact their total bill. Add .billing-summary to a .row, and within each grid column, wrap the unit in .heading and the value in .currency.

Price Estimate

When possible, show a price estimate on the left side of a Create form page so that customers can get an understanding of how their actions impact potential costs. Changes in to settings in the create form (e.g. changing cpu count), should impact the values displayed in the price estimate.

Within a .row, use the .priceEstimateContainer to display the estimate values and .createFormContainer to contain the <form>.

Open Example Page

    
<div class="row">
  <div id="priceEstimateContainer">
    <div id="priceEstimate">
      <h5 class="content-header">ESTIMATED COST AS CONFIGURED</h5>
      <div class="cost-value">$75.29</div>

Git Stats

Display the github stats of a repo.

    
<ul class="git-stats">
  <li>
    <svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-cloud-upload'></svg> 20 deploys
  </li>
  <li>
    <a href="#"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-code-fork'></svg> 2 forks</a>
  </li>
  <li>
    <a href="#"><svg class="cyclops-icon"><use xlink:href='#icon-star'></svg> 21 stars</a>
  </li>
</ul>

Pagination

Simple pagination for lists with many results. Use .active to indicate the current page, and .disabled for unclickable links (i.e. beginning or end of the list).

    
<nav>
  <ul class="pagination">
    <li class="disabled">
      <a href="#" aria-label="Previous">
        <span aria-hidden="true">&laquo;</span>
        <span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
      </a>
    </li>
    <li class="active"><a href="#">1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">5</a></li>
    <li>
      <a href="#" aria-label="Next">
        <span aria-hidden="true">&raquo;</span>
        <span class="sr-only">Next</span>
      </a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>

Progress Bars

Progress bars are block elements that can be displayed using the progress HTML5 tag. Set the max to the amount of work to complete — the value which the value property will be divided by. Set the value attribute to the amount of work complete.

To indicate a state, the color of the bar can be changed using .info, .warning or .danger. The default color is green.

<progress value="100" max="100">100%</progress>
<progress class="info" value="75" max="100">75%</progress>
<progress class="warning" value="75" max="100">75%</progress>
<progress class="danger" value="75" max="100">75%</progress>

Supporting IE9

Not all browsers support the progress element, in our support matrix it is only IE9 for this case we need to offer a decent fall back to our users. This is where the text inside the progress tag comes into play. On browsers that do not support the tag it will just be treated like a div and the text will be displayed. So the text in the tag needs to be meaningful to the current use case. For instance, something like "70% complete" or "100GB of 1000GB used" 

    
<progress value="0" max="100" data-bind="value: progress">
  <!-- ko text: progressText--><!-- /ko -->
</progress>

Search Input

A set of standard markup to make a simple search box. 

    
<span class="search-input">
  <input type="text"/>
  <svg class="cyclops-icon">
    <use xlink:href='#icon-search'></use>
  </svg>
</span>

Show Password

A control to show a password. After 15 seconds, it will automatically hide itself.

  • username
    matthew.osborn
  • password
  • IP Adrress
    192.168.1.1
    
<ul class="list-info">
  <li>
    <div class="info-label">password</div>
    <div class="info-value">
      <show-password params="getPassword: getPassword"></show-password>
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>

Slide Well

Slide wells are used to reveal additional content (i.e. forms) when toggled by a button or link.

Edit Load Balancer Settings 
    
<button class="btn btn-default" data-bind="click: toggleOpen">toggle slide well</button>
<div class="slide-well" data-bind="fadeSlide: open">
  ...
</div>
    
    
self.open = ko.observable(false);
self.toggleOpen = function(){
  self.open(!self.open())
};
