Replace the placeholder preview popup with a fully functional DxPdfViewer
popup:
- Popup resized to 80vw × 90vh with drag, resize and background shading.
- OpenPreviewAsync: unmounts viewer, fetches PDF bytes via
GetDocumentOfSenderAsync, then mounts DxPdfViewer only after bytes are
ready (prevents DevExpress ProcessDocumentChangedAsync NRE).
- Loading spinner shown while fetching; typed error panel shown on
NotFoundException or general failure.
- OnPreviewClosed: unmounts viewer before nulling byte array so DevExpress
async render never touches a disposed reference.
- Inject ReceiverPageDataService, EnvelopeAuthService and ILogger.
app.css: Disable text/image selection globally; re-enable for
input/textarea/[contenteditable] so typing and pasting still work.
sender-page.css: Add .sender-preview-popup, .sender-preview-viewer-wrap
and .sender-preview-pdf-viewer rules. DxPdfViewer requires an explicit
pixel-height parent — percentage heights resolve to 0 inside popup body
flex containers and cause DevExpress NullReferenceExceptions.
Loads the PDF bytes for a given envelope on behalf of the authenticated
sender (uses SenderId() claim extension). Throws NotFoundException when
no document data is available so callers can surface a typed error.
Previously Swagger UI was only registered in Development. Add a
'UseSwagger' config key so staging/production environments can opt in
without code changes.
JwtBearer middleware does not run for WebSocket upgrade requests, so
HttpContext.User is anonymous inside Blazor Server components. Fall back
to manual cookie parsing + token validation (same pattern used by
EnvelopeReceiverAuthorizationService). Cache the resulting principal on
HttpContext.User for subsequent calls within the same circuit.
Also inject IOptionsMonitor<JwtBearerOptions> and IOptions<AuthTokenKeys>
to support the validation path.
Extracts the authenticated sender's integer ID from the 'sub' /
NameIdentifier claim. Mirrors the existing ReceiverId() helper and is
required by GetDocumentOfSenderAsync.
Updated the method name in EnvelopeReceiverPageDataService
to clarify its purpose of retrieving documents for a receiver.
Refactored all references in Razor pages (ReceiverPage.razor,
ReceiverSignedPage.razor, EnvelopeReceiverPage.razor) to use
the new method name. No changes were made to the method's
logic or functionality. This improves code clarity and consistency.
Updated the `@rendermode` directive in `EnvelopeSenderPage.razor`
to replace `InteractiveWebAssemblyRenderMode` (with `prerender: false`)
with `InteractiveServer`. This change transitions the rendering
approach from WebAssembly-based interactive mode to server-side
interactive mode.
Refactored row selection logic to leverage DevExpress's native
`@bind-SelectedDataItem` for automatic updates to the
`_selectedEnvelope` variable. Added `AllowSelectRowByClick`
to enable row selection via single click. Updated event
handlers for layout auto-loading and auto-saving to use
specific methods for different grids. Simplified `OnRowClick`
method by removing redundant manual selection logic and
retaining toggle behavior for deselecting the same row.
Updated comments to reflect these changes.
Enhanced the UI with a "Vorschau" (Preview) button to display
PDF previews of selected envelopes. Introduced a `DxPopup`
to show envelope details, including ID and title, with a
"Schließen" (Close) button.
Replaced `SelectedDataItemChanged` with `RowClick` and
`RowDoubleClick` events for improved row selection.
Single-click toggles row selection, while double-click opens
the preview popup. Added `_previewVisible` to manage popup
visibility and implemented `ShowPreview` for button-triggered
previews. Removed `OnSelectedEnvelopeChanged` as it is now
handled by the new row events. Updated grid layout persistence
to align with the new event structure.
Reflect completion of phases 6a–6c in the project plan:
- Marked phases 6a (signFLOW logo), 6b (customer logo placeholder),
and 6c (grid columns + persistence hint) as completed.
- Updated dependency rule to reflect the change from
`EnvelopeGenerator.Server.Client` to `Blazor WASM Client`.
- Reiterated key decisions, including the use of `TBDD_CACHE`,
`SenderOrReceiver` policy, and `signflow.theme` in localStorage.
- Noted DevExpress 25.2.3 lacks `.dark.`-suffix files.
Added dynamic version resolution from the `<Version>` tag in the
`.csproj` file, enabling versioned output directories. Updated
`setlocal` to use `enabledelayedexpansion` for better variable
handling. Enhanced logging of build parameters and streamlined
the "Publishing" step by removing redundant logs.
Improved output verification with additional checks for critical
files (`hostfxr.dll`, `coreclr.dll`, etc.), logging failures if
files are missing. Updated success messages to include the
resolved version and generalized next-step instructions.
Updated versioning details in `EnvelopeGenerator.Server.csproj`:
- Changed `<Version>` from `1.0.1-beta` to `1.1.0-beta`.
- Updated `<FileVersion>` from `1.0.1.0` to `1.1.0.0`.
- Updated `<AssemblyVersion>` from `1.0.1.0` to `1.1.0.0`.
This minor version update reflects new features or improvements
while maintaining backward compatibility.
Refactored code for improved readability, consistency, and maintainability. Removed the WASM boot loading overlay and its associated styles/scripts. Updated SVG paths to use self-closing tags for HTML compliance. Reformatted conditional blocks, state management, and session data logic. Enhanced error handling, spinner visibility, and empty state displays.
Removed redundant comments and unused code. Added `envelope-editor.js` for new functionality. Cleaned up CSS and JavaScript related to the removed WASM overlay. Improved grid layout persistence and signature field logic. Adjusted localization strings for better alignment with German translations.
- Updated `MappingProfile.cs` to add detailed mapping for `Envelope` to `EnvelopeDto`, including `EnvelopeTypeTitle`.
- Added a grid persistence hint banner in `EnvelopeSenderPage.razor` with an SVG icon and German message.
- Introduced three new columns (`EnvelopeTypeTitle`, `AddedWhen`, `ChangedWhen`) to the grid in `EnvelopeSenderPage.razor`.
- Refactored boot overlay removal logic in `App.razor` into a reusable function `sfRemoveBootOverlay`.
- Simplified event handling for overlay removal and fallback logic in `App.razor`.
- Adjusted `.sender-grid-wrapper` padding in `sender-page.css` and added styles for the new grid persistence hint banner.
The `ConnectionStrings.Default` value in `appsettings.json` was updated.
The connection string now points to the testing environment
(`SDD-VHP04-SQL19\DD_TESTING01`) instead of the development environment
(`SDD-VMP04-SQL17\DD_DEVELOP01`). The password was also updated to
`123456789dD!` to reflect the new environment credentials.
Introduced a customer logo section in `EnvelopeSenderPage.razor` that dynamically displays a customer logo or a placeholder when no logo is configured. The logo is fetched from the `CustomImagesService` and styled using new CSS classes in `sender-page.css`.
- Added `_companyLogo` property to store customer logo configuration.
- Updated `CustomImagesService` to fetch both app and customer logos.
- Modified `appsettings.json` to include logo paths and styles.
- Enhanced CSS for a three-section action bar layout.
- Added placeholder styling for missing customer logos.
- Updated initialization logic to load logos dynamically.
- Documented implementation details in `SF-74-PLAN.md`.
The implementation is modular and deployment-specific, allowing logo paths and styles to be updated via configuration without code changes.
Introduced `ThemeService` to manage themes and dark mode, with a new footer UI for theme selection and toggling dark mode. Added dynamic CSS loading and Bootstrap theme support. Registered `UserPreferencesService` and `ThemeService` for SSR compatibility. Removed hardcoded DevExpress theme links.
Fixed German localization issues in `LoginReceiverPage` and `LoginSenderPage`. Updated `app.css` with styles for the new footer controls. Simplified font loading in `MainLayout.razor`.
Introduce ThemeService to manage themes and dark mode state,
including initialization, persistence, and server sync.
Add UserPreferencesService to handle API communication for
retrieving and saving user preferences with in-memory caching
to reduce network overhead.
Register both services in the DI container in Program.cs.
Enhance ThemeService with detailed documentation and introduce
ThemeOption record for selectable themes. Improve server-side
caching in UserPreferencesService for consistency and efficiency.
Introduced `UserPreferencesDto` to represent UI preferences,
including theme, dark mode, and grid layouts. Added the
`IUserPreferencesService` interface and implemented it in
`UserPreferencesService` to manage preferences stored in
the distributed cache (`dbo.TBDD_CACHE`).
Registered `UserPreferencesService` in dependency injection
and added a NuGet reference for `Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Abstractions`.
Created `UserPreferencesController` with `GET` and `PUT`
endpoints to retrieve and save user preferences. Validated
theme names in the `PUT` endpoint.
Updated `Program.cs` to ensure proper service registration.
Updated the `DesktopBuildPackageLocation` property in
`IISProfileNet8.pubxml` and `IISProfile.pubxml` to store
build packages in the `PreRelease` directory.
- Updated `EnvelopeGenerator.API.zip` and `EnvelopeGenerator.Server.zip` paths in `IISProfileNet8.pubxml`.
- Updated `EnvelopeGenerator.ReceiverUI.zip` path in `IISProfile.pubxml`.
No other properties or configurations were modified.
Added a `dotnet-tools.json` file to define a .NET tool manifest, specifying the `dotnet-ef` tool with version `10.0.9`.
Introduced a `publish.bat` script for publishing the `EnvelopeGenerator.Server` project as a self-contained application targeting `win-x64` and .NET 8. The script handles cleaning, publishing, output verification, and provides deployment instructions for IIS.
Updated the `EnvelopeGenerator.sln` file to include a reference to the `publish.bat` script under the `EnvelopeGenerator.Server` project using a `SolutionItems` section.
Updated `<Version>`, `<FileVersion>`, and `<AssemblyVersion>` in `EnvelopeGenerator.Server.csproj` to reflect a minor version update (1.0.0-beta -> 1.0.1-beta). This likely includes bug fixes, small improvements, or other non-breaking changes.
Updated the IISProfileNet8.pubxml file to enable self-contained deployment by setting `<SelfContained>` to `true`. Target runtime was specified as `win-x64` using the `<RuntimeIdentifier>` property. Configured the environment for production by adding the `<EnvironmentName>` property set to `Production`.
Added a detailed "Publish & Deployment Guide" to the README for the `EnvelopeGenerator.Server` project. The guide includes:
- Table of contents for easy navigation.
- Explanation of differences between `EnvelopeGenerator.Server` and a standard ASP.NET Core API.
- Justification for self-contained publishing and its benefits.
- Recommended `dotnet publish` command with parameter explanations.
- IIS configuration steps, including Application Pool settings, `web.config` adjustments, and module requirements.
- Verification checklist for published output files.
- Instructions for setting up logging and recycling the IIS Application Pool.
- Directory structure overview post-publish.
- Troubleshooting common deployment errors with solutions.
This guide ensures developers and administrators can successfully publish and deploy the application.
Updated the `DxGridDataColumn` for the `Id` field in
`EnvelopeSenderPage.razor` to include default sorting.
The column now has `SortIndex=0` and `SortOrder=GridColumnSortOrder.Descending`,
ensuring the grid sorts by ID in descending order by default.
Updated `<Version>` to `1.0.0-beta` to reflect a pre-release version. Aligned `<FileVersion>` and `<AssemblyVersion>` with the new versioning scheme (`1.0.0.0`). Replaced `<PackageOutputPath>` with `<Copyright>` for better metadata alignment. No changes to `<DocumentationFile>`.
Replaced `<TargetFramework>` with `<TargetFrameworks>` to allow for future multi-targeting. Enabled XML documentation file generation with `<GenerateDocumentationFile>`. Added project metadata including `<PackageId>`, `<Authors>`, `<Company>`, `<Product>`, and versioning properties (`<Version>`, `<FileVersion>`, `<AssemblyVersion>`). Included copyright notice and documentation file path configuration.
A new `IISProfileNet8.pubxml` file was added to configure publishing settings for a .NET 8.0 application. Key configurations include:
- Publish method set to `Package`.
- Build configuration set to `Release` and platform to `Any CPU`.
- Automatic site launch after publishing enabled.
- `App_Data` folder included in the package.
- Unique project identifier defined.
- Build package location specified with a version placeholder.
- Package created as a single file.
- IIS application path set to `EnvelopeGenerator`.
- Deployment target set to `IISWebDeployPackage`.
- Target framework set to .NET 8.0.
Introduced input fields for "Title" and "Message" in the
EnvelopeSenderEditorPage, allowing users to specify metadata
for envelopes. The "Title" field is required and validated,
while the "Message" field is optional with a default value.
Updated the save logic to validate the title and display
appropriate error messages. Persisted the "Title" and
"Message" fields in the session cache via the
`EditorSessionData` record.
Modified the `CreateEnvelopeReceiverCommand` to use the
user-provided "Title" and "Message" values. Adjusted the UI
layout and styling to accommodate the new fields, ensuring
a seamless user experience.
Updated navigation logic and routes to remove the `/report` suffix, simplifying the URL structure for envelope-related pages.
- Updated `LoginReceiverPage.razor` and `ReceiverSignedPage.razor` to redirect to `/envelope/{EnvelopeKey}`.
- Changed `ReceiverPage.razor` route to `/envelope/{EnvelopeKey}`.
- Updated `ILogger` dependencies in `ReceiverPage.razor` and `ReceiverSignedPage.razor` to reflect new class names.
- Modified `EnvelopeReceiverPage.razor` route to `/envelope/{EnvelopeKey}/deprc`, indicating deprecation or restructuring.
Added a custom DelegatingHandler, SenderAuthCookieHandler, to forward the browser's Cookie header to outgoing HttpClient requests in Blazor Server. Registered the handler as a transient service and integrated it into the named HttpClient pipeline for internal API calls. This enables Blazor Server components to make authenticated API calls using cookie-based JWT authentication (AuthScheme.Sender).
Introduced the ability to create envelopes with documents and receivers via a new `CreateAsync` method in `EnvelopeReceiverService`. Integrated this functionality into `EnvelopeSenderEditorPage.razor` with UI updates, including a save button spinner, validation checks, and a result popup for success or error feedback.
- Added `CreateAsync` method to handle `POST /api/EnvelopeReceiver` API calls.
- Injected `EnvelopeReceiverService` into `EnvelopeSenderEditorPage.razor`.
- Implemented save logic with validation for PDF upload, receivers, and signature fields.
- Added success and error popups for user feedback.
- Improved logging for envelope creation and validation warnings.
- Refactored save logic for better readability and maintainability.
Updated `Authorize` attributes in multiple controllers to use
`AuthenticationSchemes = AuthScheme.Sender` instead of
`Policy = AuthPolicy.Sender`, reflecting a shift in the
authentication mechanism.
Added detailed logging in `EnvelopeReceiverController` to handle
cases where stored procedures return `OUT_SUCCESS=false`,
providing contextual information for debugging.
Removed unused SQL code and declarations in
`EnvelopeReceiverController` to improve code readability and
maintainability.
Introduced a `Color` property to `ReceiverDraft` and `SignatureFieldDraft` models, enabling dynamic color assignment from a predefined palette (`ReceiverPalette`). Updated the UI to reflect receiver-specific colors in the sender-receiver chips, placement mode hint bar, and signature placement button.
Refactored PDF rendering logic to dynamically derive visual styles (fill, border, and text colors) from receiver colors. Added a `HexToXColor` utility for converting hex color strings to `PdfSharp.Drawing.XColor`.
Removed hardcoded visual styles and replaced them with dynamic, receiver-specific styling. Simplified receiver addition logic to automatically assign colors from the palette. These changes improve clarity and maintainability while enhancing the user experience.
The session ID generation and redirection logic was moved from
OnInitialized to OnAfterRenderAsync to address issues with
NavigationException during SSR prerendering. OnInitialized is
now intentionally left empty, and the new OnAfterRenderAsync
method ensures the session ID is appended to the URL only after
the first interactive render, when SignalR is connected and
NavigateTo is safe.
