Magento 2: Widgets

This module is to demonstrate the different fields available for Magento 2 widgets. The idea is to use this as a base or reference for creating your own widgets.

Installation

You can install manually by following these steps:

1. Download the repo zip file and extract
2. You should have a folder called 'magento2-widgets-master'. Rename this folder to 'Widgets'
3. Under your Magento site folder create a new directory 'app/code/Alvis'
4. Upload the module to this folder 'app/code/Alvis/Widgets'

Enable the module

php bin/magento module:enable Alvis_Widgets

You may also need to re-compile:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile

Integration

There is an example widget provided which has all the possible field types available. The available fields are listed below:

• Text field
• Text area field
• Select field (boolean)
• Select field (custom options)
• Select field (custom source)
• Depends on field (only shows depending on the value of another field)
• Category chooser
• Product chooser
• Static block chooser
• CMS page chooser
• Image chooser
• Conditions field

You can insert a widget through the Magento 2 admin area by adding it to the WYSIWYG editor when creating a page or static CMS block.
