I am attempting to develop a plugin.
The main functionality of the plugin is going to be to automatically set
the Virtual machine network based off the subnet set on the interface tab.
The initial version would just match the name set in the interface tab to
the name of the network on the virtual machine tab. Future versions might
take a config file to set that mapping.
I believe the change should be pretty simple, just run a javascript
function onchange when the subnet is selected. Therefore I need to include
a new javascript (asset) on the host edit page. I see that plugins such as
foreman_salt and foreman_bootdisk do just that. In my plugin I created a
new asset and created the javascript file. However I am not sure how to tie
that asset to the host edit page.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Using the Deface gem (https://github.com/spree/deface) is perhaps the
easiest method, which will allow you to inject the following into the
page template:
<% javascript "foreman_example/your_asset" %>
Add deface ~> 1.0 as a dependency to the plugin, then create a file
under app/overrides/ containing something like:
Deface::Override.new(:virtual_path => "hosts/_form",
:name => "foreman_example/js",
:insert_before => "erb[loud]:contains(:javascript)",
:text => "<% javascript
"foreman_example/your_asset" %>")
Untested, but the idea is that will match the <%= javascript %> at the
top of app/views/hosts/_form.html.erb and insert your own line there.

You can also have a look at the forman_expire_hosts plugin as an example. The plugin injects an js asset via deface to the host show page.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The deface module was the solution. I was
able to follow how other modules (like foreman_salt which inserts a
complete tab onto the hosts page).
