Each extensionpoint controls a single aspect - like the the input field for first name or the user picture - of the contact.
 
 
 
To apply modifications the id of the point and the extension is needed.
 
 
 
For a quick overview of the available extensionpoints and extensions you can use the browser console.
 
 
 
==available extensionpoints==
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
// get all available extensionpoints
 
require('io.ox/core/extensions').keys();
 
</pre>
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
// you can filter down the list by using regular expression
 
_(require('io.ox/core/extensions').keys()).filter(function (point) {
 
    if (/io.ox\/contacts\/edit/.test(point)) {
 
        return point;
 
    }
 
});
 
</pre>
 
 
 
==show available extensions of a known point==
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
// show all available extensions of a known extensionpoint
 
require('io.ox/core/extensions').point('io.ox/contacts/edit/personal').all();
 
</pre>
 
 
 
==some examples for modification==
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
// replace a existing extension
 
require('io.ox/core/extensions').point('io.ox/contacts/edit/personal').replace({
 
    id: "first_name",
 
    draw: function () {
 
        this.append(
 
            $("<div>").addClass("title").text("Hello World!")
 
        );
 
    }
 
});
 
</pre>
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
// modify the index to reorder a existing extension
 
require('io.ox/core/extensions').point('io.ox/contacts/edit/personal').get('first_name', function (extension) {
 
    extension.index = 500;
 
});
 
</pre>
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
// modify the hidden status to hide a existing extension
 
require('io.ox/core/extensions').point('io.ox/contacts/edit/personal').get('first_name', function (extension) {
 
    extension.hidden = true;
 
});
 
</pre>
 
 
 
==extend the validation via extensionpoint==
 
 
 
In addition to the default validation another validationstep can be implemented by extending the proper extensionpoint.
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
// extend the validation
 
require('io.ox/core/extensions').point('io.ox/contacts/model/validation/first_name').extend({
 
    id: 'check_for_klaus',
 
    validate: function (value) {
 
        if (value !== 'Klaus') {
 
            return 'First name can only be Klaus';
 
      }
 
    }
 
});
 
</pre>
