README

Create granular, reusable NodeTypes with ease. Best use with Props.Mixins per presentational components.

• Load mixins multiple times in the same NodeType

  ➔ You've ever overwritten properties by choosing a not unique property name? Use our namespaces and ane the properties like what they are.

• Choose properties you'd like to load

  ➔ You don't need a property? So don't include, not just hide it.

• Extend labels of props and groups recursively

  ➔ You don't have to repeat the properties label text ever and ever again. Extend it.

• Merge groups to match editor needs

  ➔ Combine multiple props of multiple mixins for a new purpose? Do it.

Example A

Create a presentational frontend component:

prototype(Vendor:Component.Link) < prototype(Neos.Fusion:Component) {
  text = ''
  link = ''
  
  renderer = afx`
    <a href={props.link}>{props.text}</div>
  `
}

Create a corresponding reusable Props Mixin which reflects the needed Props:

'Vendor:Props.Link':
  abstract: true
  superTypes:
    'JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins:Props': true
  ui:
    inspector:
      groups:
        link:
          icon: link
          label: 'Link'
  properties:
    text:
      options:
        preset: 'rte.plaintext'
    link:
      options:
        preset: 'link.default'
      ui:
        inspector:
          group: link

And create a matching Props Fusion to load the component specific data:

prototype(Vendor:Props.Link) < prototype(JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins:Props) {
  text = JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins:Data.PlainProperty.Text {
    property = 'text'
  }
  link = JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins:Data.PlainProperty.Link {
    property = 'link'
  }
}

Now create a Content NodeType where you reuse this Props-Mixin and -Fusion as often as you like - with different namespaces:

'Vendor:Content.ThreeLinks':
  superTypes:
    'Neos.Neos:Content': true
  options:
    superTypes:
      'Vendor:Props.Link':
        left: 'Left %s'
        right: 'Right %s'
        bottom:
          link: true
  ui:
    label: 'Three Links'
    inspector:
      groups:
        bottomLink:
          label: 'Bottom Link'

prototype(Vendor:Content.ThreeLinks) < prototype(Neos.Neos:ContentComponent) {
  left = Vendor:Props.Link {
    namespace = 'left'
    // result: {
    //   text: ...
    //   link: ...
    // }
  }
  right = Vendor:Props.Link {
    namespace = 'right'
    // result: {
    //   text: ...
    //   link: ...
    // }
  }
  bottom = Vendor:Props.Link {
    namespace = 'bottom'
    // result: {
    //   link: ...
    // }
  }

  renderer = afx`
    <div class="left-col">
      <Vendor:Component.Button {...props.left} />
    </div>
    <div class="right-col">
      <Vendor:Component.Button {...props.right} />
    </div>
    <Vendor:Component.Button {...props.bottom} text="Static Label" />
  `
}

The generated NodeType will look like:

'Vendor:Content.ThreeLinks':
  superTypes:
    'Neos.Neos:Content': true
  ui:
    label: 'Three Links'
    inspector:
      groups:
        leftLink:
          icon: link
          label: 'Left Link'
        rightLink:
          icon: link
          label: 'Right Link'
        bottomLink:
          icon: link
          label: 'Bottom Link'
  properties:
    leftText:
      options:
        preset: 'rte.plaintext'
    leftLink:
      options:
        preset: 'link.default'
      ui:
        inspector:
          group: leftLink
    rightText:
      options:
        preset: 'rte.plaintext'
    rightLink:
      options:
        preset: 'link.default'
      ui:
        inspector:
          group: rightLink
    bottomLink:
      options:
        preset: 'link.default'
      ui:
        inspector:
          group: bottomLink

Example B

Merging Inspector Groups to recombine Props-Mixins (only works with options.superTypes):

'Vendor:Content.Teaser':
  superTypes:
    'Neos.Neos:Content': true
  options:
    superTypes:
      'JvMTECH.Components:Props.Headline':
        headline:
          text: true
          tagName: true
      'JvMTECH.Components:Props.Button':
        button:
          link: true
    mergeGroups:
      teaserGroup:
        headline: true
        button: true
  ui:
    label: 'Teaser'
    inspector:
      groups:
        teaserGroup:
          label: 'Teaser'

The generated NodeType will look like:

'Vendor:Content.Teaser':
  superTypes:
    'Neos.Neos:Content': true
  ui:
    label: 'Teaser'
    inspector:
      groups:
        teaserGroup:
          label: 'Teaser'
  properties:
    headlineText:
      options:
        preset: 'rte.headline'
      ui:
        inline:
          editorOptions:
            placeholder: 'JvMTECH.Base:Presets:rte.placeholder.short'
    headlineTagName:
      type: string
      defaultValue: 'h2'
      ui:
        label: 'SEO Tag'
        reloadIfChanged: true
        inspector:
          group: 'teaserGroup'
          editor: Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/SelectBoxEditor
          editorOptions:
            multiple: false
            allowEmpty: false
            values:
              h2:
                label: 'H2'
              h3:
                label: 'H3'
              h4:
                label: 'H4'
              h5:
                label: 'H5'
              p:
                label: 'p'
    link:
      options:
        preset: 'link.default'
      ui:
        inspector:
          group: 'teaserGroup'

Upgrade Instructions

Neos Compatibility

2.x to 3.x

No Migrations are necessary

1.x to 2.x

Since 2.x SelectiveMixins does properly support nested props.

Example:

'Vendor:Props.TwoLinks':
  abstract: true
  superTypes:
    'JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins:Props': true
  options:
    superTypes:
      'Vendor:Props.Link':
        linkA: true
        linkB: true

prototype(Vendor:Props.TwoLinks) < prototype(JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins:Props) {
  linkA = Vendor:Props.Link {
    namespace = 'linkA'
  }
  linkB = Vendor:Props.Link {
    namespace = 'linkB'
  }
}

Therefor the fundamental prototype and mixin JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins:Data is now used for property loading only, and the new JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins:Props is there to create props.

And if you did use nested workarounds with something like SelectiveMixins.Array.toCamelCase([props.namespace, 'something']) you now probably just need 'something' or SelectiveMixins.Array.toCamelCase([nestedNamespace, 'something']).

Tests

Run the following test in your project to make sure the Selective NodeType generation is still working as expected, even after upgrades:

cp DistributionPackages/JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins/Tests/Functional/Fixtures/NodeTypes.yaml DistributionPackages/JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins/Configuration/NodeTypes.Test.yaml;
FLOW_CONTEXT=Testing ./flow flow:cache:flush;
FLOW_CONTEXT=Testing ./bin/phpunit -c ./DistributionPackages/JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins/Tests/PhpUnit/FunctionalTests.xml;
rm DistributionPackages/JvMTECH.SelectiveMixins/Configuration/NodeTypes.Test.yaml;

Installation

composer require jvmtech/selective-mixins
