README

This Field Type will let a content manager map an executable Repository Query to a Field.

Example use-cases:

• a place.nearby_places field that returns Place items less than X kilometers away from the current content, based on its own location field
• a gallery.images field that returns Image items that are children of the current gallery item's main location

The idea is to move content and structure logic implemented in controllers and templates to the repository itself.

Installation

Add the package to the requirements:

composer require ezsystems/ezplatform-query-fieldtype:^1.0@dev

Add the package to app/AppKernel.php:

$bundles = [
  // ...
  new EzSystems\EzPlatformQueryFieldType\Symfony\EzSystemsEzPlatformQueryFieldTypeBundle(),
];

Add the bundle routes to config/routing.yaml:

ezplatform.query_fieldtype.routes:
    resource: '@EzSystemsEzPlatformQueryFieldTypeBundle/Resources/config/routing/'
    type: directory

Usage

Add a Content query field to a content type.

In the Field Definition settings, select a Query Type from the list, as well as the content type that is returned by that field.

Parameters are used to build the query on runtime. They are either static, or mapped to properties from the content the field value belongs to. The syntax YAML, with the key being the name of a query type parameter, and the value either a scalar, or an expression.

The following variables are available for use in expressions:

• string returnedType: the identifier of the content type that was previously selected
• eZ\Publish\API\Values\Content\Content content: the current content item Also gives you access to fields values. Example with an ezurl field: @=content.getFieldValue('url').link
• eZ\Publish\API\Values\Content\ContentInfo contentInfo: the current content item's content info
• eZ\Publish\API\Values\Content\Location mainLocation: the current content item's main location

A simple example, for a LocationChildren query type that expects:

• parent_location_id: id of the location to fetch children for
• content_types: content type identifier or array of identifiers to filter on

parent_location_id: "@=mainLocation.id"
content_types: "@=returnedType"
