Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes

Missing Prototypes for easier linking to actions and modules.

By default the linking between backend modules or from backend modules has been cumbersome. Since modules use a subrequest the Neos UriBuilder created all links inside the module.

This package adds the prototypes Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionUri, Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionLink and Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ModuleUri, Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ModuleLink that always use the current main request to avoid this confusion.

!!! Those prototypes likely will end up in Neos eventually. The package here provides a replacement for older versions of Neos plus allows to play with the api and behavior before creating a core-pr !!!

Installation

Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes is available via packagist run composer require sitegeist/fusionlinkprototypes. We use semantic versioning so every breaking change will increase the major-version number.

Usage

Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionUri

Built a URI to a controller action

• package (string) The package key (e.g. My.Package)
• subpackage (string) The subpackage, empty by default
• controller (string) The controller name (e.g. Registration)
• action (string) The action name (e.g. new)
• arguments (array) Arguments to the action by named key
• format (string) An optional request format (e.g. html)
• section (string) An optional fragment (hash) for the URI
• additionalParams (array) Additional URI query parameters by named key
• addQueryString (boolean) Whether to keep the query parameters of the current URI
• argumentsToBeExcludedFromQueryString (array) Query parameters to exclude for addQueryString
• absolute (boolean) Whether to create an absolute URI

Example::

uri = Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionUri {
	package = 'My.Package'
	controller = 'Registration'
	action = 'new'
}

Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionLink

Extends Neos.Fusion:Tag and adds an attributes.href defined as Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionUri

Tag properties:

• tagName (string) Tag name of the HTML element, defaults to a
• content (string) The inner content of the element, will only be rendered if the tag is not self-closing and the closing tag is not omitted
• attributes (iterable) Tag attributes as key-value pairs. Default is Neos.Fusion:DataStructure. If a non iterable is returned the value is casted to string.
• attributes.href defined as Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionLink
• ... for more see the documentation of Neos.Fusion:Tag

ActionUri properties:

• package (string) The package key (e.g. My.Package)
• subpackage (string) The subpackage, empty by default
• controller (string) The controller name (e.g. Registration)
• action (string) The action name (e.g. new)
• arguments (array) Arguments to the action by named key
• format (string) An optional request format (e.g. html)
• section (string) An optional fragment (hash) for the URI
• additionalParams (array) Additional URI query parameters by named key
• addQueryString (boolean) Whether to keep the query parameters of the current URI
• argumentsToBeExcludedFromQueryString (array) Query parameters to exclude for addQueryString
• absolute (boolean) Whether to create an absolute URI

Example::

link = Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionLink {
	content = "Register new user"
	package = 'My.Package'
	controller = 'Registration'
	action = 'new'
}

Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ModuleUri

Built a URI to a backend module. This allows to link between backend modules !!! For links to the Neos content module read the dedicated section !!!

• module (string) The module path (e.g. content or management/sites)
• controller (string) The controller name (e.g. Registration)
• action (string) The action name (e.g. new)
• arguments (array) Arguments to the action by named key
• format (string) An optional request format (e.g. html)
• section (string) An optional fragment (hash) for the URI
• additionalParams (array) Additional URI query parameters by named key
• addQueryString (boolean) Whether to keep the query parameters of the current URI
• argumentsToBeExcludedFromQueryString (array) Query parameters to exclude for addQueryString
• absolute (boolean) Whether to create an absolute URI

Example::

uri = Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ModuleUri {
	module="administration/sites"
	action="edit"
	arguments.site = ${site}
}

Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ModuleLink

Extends Neos.Fusion:Tag and adds an attributes.href defined as Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ModuleUri !!! For links to the Neos content module read the dedicated section !!!

Tag properties:

• tagName (string) Tag name of the HTML element, defaults to a
• content (string) The inner content of the element, will only be rendered if the tag is not self-closing and the closing tag is not omitted
• attributes (iterable) Tag attributes as key-value pairs. Default is Neos.Fusion:DataStructure. If a non iterable is returned the value is casted to string.
• attributes.href defined as Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionLink

ModuleUri properties:

• module (string) The module path (e.g. content or management/sites)
• controller (string) The controller name (e.g. Registration)
• action (string) The action name (e.g. new)
• arguments (array) Arguments to the action by named key
• format (string) An optional request format (e.g. html)
• section (string) An optional fragment (hash) for the URI
• additionalParams (array) Additional URI query parameters by named key
• addQueryString (boolean) Whether to keep the query parameters of the current URI
• argumentsToBeExcludedFromQueryString (array) Query parameters to exclude for addQueryString
• absolute (boolean) Whether to create an absolute URI

Example::

link = Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ModuleLink {
	content = "To the site module"
	module="administration/sites"
	action="edit"
	arguments.site = ${site}
}

Linking to the Neos content-module

As the Neos content-module is not based on other backend modules it is linked via Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionLink.

Example::

contentModuleLink = Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionLink {
	content = "To the content module"
	package="Neos.Neos.Ui"
	controller="Backend"
	action="index"
	arguments.node = ${node}
}

contentModuleUri = Sitegeist.FusionLinkPrototypes:ActionUri {
	module="administration/sites"
	action="edit"
	arguments.node = ${node}
}
