Customizing using jQuery

Legacy: Tyk Classic Portal

You’re viewing documentation for the Tyk Classic Portal, which is no longer actively maintained.

If you’re looking for the latest API documentation for the new Tyk Developer Portal, please refer to the Postman collection or visit the Tyk Developer Portal section.

The Classic Portal is in maintenance mode and will be deprecated soon. For questions or support, contact us at [e-mail].

Tyk Portal comes prepackaged with jQuery. This opens up a whole world of customization, by extending our Portal using JavaScript and HTML to create dynamic content.

Dynamic Content Rendering & Filtering

Let’s walk through an example where you use jQuery to fetch data from a REST endpoint, then display it in a table where we can filter our results.

First of all, create a custom page in the portal.

In the MainBody, you can paste the code below (click the text to display):

Show Click to display the code

<h2> Filterable Table </h2>

<script>
window.onload = function() {

    $.ajax({  
            type: "GET",
            url: "https://www.mocky.io/v2/5eb1a7c53200005c8f28f8b5",  
            beforeSend: function() 
            {
                $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: 0
                }, 'slow');
                $("#response").html('<img src="loading.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="Loading..."> Loading...<br /><br />');
            },  
            success: function(response)
            {
                var htmlResponse = '<table id=results>\
                <thead>\
                <tr>\
                  <th>Name</th>\
                  <th>Location</th>\
                  <th>Age</th>\
                </tr>\
                </thead>\
                <tbody id="myTable">'

                response.forEach( item => {
                    htmlResponse += '  <tr>\
                    <td>' + item.name + '</td>\
                    <td>' + item.location + '</td>\
                    <td>' + item.Age + '</td>\
                  </tr>'
                });
                htmlResponse += "</tbody></table>"

                $('#results')[0].innerHTML = htmlResponse;
            }
        });

    $("#myInput").on("keyup", function() {
        var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
        $("#myTable tr").filter(function() {
          $(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1)
        });
      });
    }
</script>


<style>
table {
  font-family: arial, sans-serif;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 100%;
}

td, th {
  border: 1px solid #dddddd;
  text-align: left;
  padding: 8px;
}

tr:nth-child(even) {
  background-color: #dddddd;
}
</style>

<p>Type something in the input field to search the table for first names, last names or emails:</p>  
<input id="myInput" type="text" placeholder="Search..">
<br /><br />

<div id=results>
</results>

And save.

Now visit the portal at “http://dashboard-host:3000/portal/custom”

You now have a searchable Input box that will dynamically filter the results of the table.
