Cozy Bar Library
Cozy is a platform that brings all your web services in the same private space. With it, your webapps and your devices can share data easily, providing you with a new experience. You can install Cozy on your own hardware where no one's tracking you.
cozy-bar.js
is a javascript library made by Cozy. It enables the CozyBar component in your application. This component is a banner on the top of your application, responsible of cross-apps navigation, user facilities, intents, etc.
cozy-bar.js
is an asset directly served by the cozy-stack. To use it, simply add <script src="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/js/cozy-bar.js" defer></script>
in the <head>
section of the index.html
of your application. It exposes an API behind the window.cozy.bar
namespace, that let you interact with the CozyBar itself.
The library requires your markup to contain an element with role=application
and attributes data-cozy-domain
and data-cozy-token
. The DOM of the banner will be added before this element.
Once you have the library included in your application, starts by intialize it in your app bootstrap:
window.cozy.bar.init({
appName: MY_APP_NAME,
appNamePrefix: MY_APP_NAME_PREFIX
iconPath: PATH_TO_SVG_ICON,
lang: LOCALE
})
appName
param in hash is mandatory when appNamePrefix
, lang
and iconPath
are optionals. If not passed, their values are detected into the DOM:
appNamePrefix
is extracted from the manifest. Originally used for apps maintained by Cozy Cloud teams.lang
is extracted from thelang
attribute of the<html>
tag. Defaults to 'en'iconPath
uses the favicon 32px. Defaults to a blank GIF
To make the icon of Cozy(icon-cozy-home.svg
) compatible with an inverted theme, please set the parameter isInvertedTheme
to true
Help link is defined in your Cozy's configuration file, in the context
section. See the cozy.example.yaml
file provided by the stack.
Coming Soon applications (or apps) are defined in your Cozy's configuration file. See the cozy.example.yaml
file provided by the stack.
From within your app, you can decide to take over certain areas of the cozy-bar. This might especially be useful on mobile where the area it occupies is prime real estate — we generally don't recommend to use this option on larger screen resolutions.
The bar is divided in 3 areas that you can control individually : left, center and right:
To do this, you need to call one of the 3 exposed functions like this:
const setBarLeft = cozy.bar.setBarLeft
setBarLeft('<div>Hello!</div>')
// there's also cozy.bar.setBarCenter and cozy.bar.setBarRight
If you're using React, you can use the component form instead:
const { BarLeft, BarCenter, BarRight } = cozy.bar
// then, somewhere in a render function
<BarLeft>
<div>Hello!</div>
</BarLeft>
If you're using Redux and include a connected component in the bar, it might not work as expected since inside <BarLeft>
and friends, the redux store is different.
const MyConnectedComponent = connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps, MyComponent)
// … in a render function
<BarLeft>
<MyConnectedComponent /> // … you won't get the expected props from redux
</BarLeft>
Instead, you can do something like this:
const MyWrappedComponent = (props) => (
<BarLeft>
<MyComponent {...props} />
</BarLeft>
)
const MyConnectedComponent = connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps, MyWrappedComponent)
// …in a render function
<MyConnectedComponent />
It's possible to update theme on the cozy-bar with setTheme
function.
const { setTheme } = cozy.bar
setTheme('default')
setTheme('primary')
In order to add new features to the cozy-bar v7 while working on another cozy-app:
-
Please ensure your app has the latest v7-stable
cozy-bar
version -
Please ensure your app has at least the 6.3.4
cozy-scripts
version -
Then, follow these steps:
$ yarn link
// in cozy-bar
$ rlink cozy-bar
// in the cozy-app
$ yarn start
// in cozy-bar
$ yarn start
// in the cozy-app
When an app (like Drive) is building, the cozy-bar assets are defined dynamically if STACK_ASSETS = true inside the browser file
In dev mode on webpack, STACK_ASSETS = false
In that case, the cozy-bar is injected
If you want to work on cozy-client-js itself and submit code modifications, feel free to open pull-requests! See the contributing guide for more information about this repository structure, testing, linting and how to properly open pull-requests.

Localization and translations are handled by [Transifex][tx], which is used by all Cozy's apps.
As a translator, you can login to [Transifex][tx-signin] (using your Github account) and claim an access to the [app repository][tx-app]. Locales are pulled when app is build before publishing.
As a developer, you just have to modify json in /src/locales
. New locales will be automatically added to Transifex. If you need to pull or push manually locales, you can use Transifex CLI. If you were using a transifex-client, you must move to Transifex CLI to be compatible with the v3 API.
