WebExcess.SuperTypesPlus

The Neos SuperTypes allow you to combine multiple sets of NodeType-Definitions, so called Mixins. That's awesome, until you get overlapping property names.

With this package you become the possibility to modify Mixins for each SuperType-Definition.

Installation

composer require webexcess/supertypes-plus

Example

Mixin Source:

'Vendor.Package:ImageMixin':
  abstract: true
  ui:
    inspector:
      groups:
        image:
          label: i18n
          icon: icon-picture
  properties:
    image:
      type: Neos\Media\Domain\Model\ImageInterface
      ui:
        label: i18n
        inspector:
          group: image
          position: 100
    caption:
      type: string
      ui:
        label: i18n
        inspector:
          group: image
          position: 200

NodeType Usage:

'Vendor.Package:ImageCollage':
  superTypes:
    'Neos.Neos:Content': true
    'Vendor.Package:ImageMixin':
      -
        properties:
          '*': 'left*'
      -
        ui: false
        properties:
          '*': 'right*'
  ui:
    label: i18n
    icon: icon-picture
  properties:
    rightImage:
      ui:
        inspector:
          position: 300
    rightCaption:
      ui:
        inspector:
          position: 400

Generated Result:

Usage

# Original..
 
'Vendor.Package:NodeType':
  superTypes:
    'Vendor.Package:MixinA': true
    'Vendor.Package:MixinB': false
  
  
# Disable just a small part..
  
'Vendor.Package:NodeType':
  superTypes:
    'Vendor.Package:MixinA': {ui: false}
    'Vendor.Package:MixinB':
      ui: false
  
  
# Give the generated SuperTypes a name..
  
'Vendor.Package:NodeType':
  superTypes:
    'Vendor.Package:Mixin':
      _name: 'Vendor.Package:Mixin-WithoutUI'
      ui: false
  
  
# Rename and/or disable some properties..
  
'Vendor.Package:NodeType':
  superTypes:
    'Vendor.Package:Mixin':
      properties:
        'propertyA': 'newPropertyA'
        'propertyB': false
  
  
# Rename all properties with a pre and/or suffix..
  
'Vendor.Package:NodeType':
  superTypes:
    'Vendor.Package:Mixin':
      properties:
        '*': 'prefix*Suffix'
  
  
# Use one mixin multiple times with renamed properties..
  
'Vendor.Package:NodeType':
  superTypes:
    'Vendor.Package:Mixin':
      -
        properties:
          'property': 'newPropertyA'
      -
        properties:
          'property': 'newPropertyB'
  
  
# Use one mixin multiple times with renamed properties and keep the original one..
  
'Vendor.Package:NodeType':
  superTypes:
    'Vendor.Package:Mixin':
      -
        properties:
          'property': 'newPropertyA'
      -
        '*': true

Principles

• This package allows to generate dynamic Mixins out of existing ones, but with renamed or disabled parts in it
• It only changes values, if it's needed because of a renaming, deletion, repetition or to keep the original i18n translations
• Everything else has to be done at the right place for that.. in the NodeType-Definition itself

ToDo

• Automatic group-renaming in the ui settings and for each corresponding property
• Automatic re-positioning of properties if one mixin is used multiple times
• Tests
