README

This is an eZ Publish 5 Symfony bundle to hold utilities.

Installation

Run composer require:

$ composer require contextualcode/utility-bundle

Enable the bundle in app/AppKernel.php (ezpublish/EzPublishKernel.php) by adding this line in the registerBundles method:

    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            ...
            new ContextualCode\UtilityBundle\ContextualCodeUtilityBundle(),
            ...
        );

Add the UtilityService as a Twig global variable (in app/config/config.yml or ezpublish/config/config.yml):

twig:
    globals:
        cc_utilities: "@contextualcode.utility.utilityservice"

Usage

There are many different utility functions provided by this bundle.

fetch

Quick example of calling fetch from a Twig template to get all Banner objects in the current node:

{% set banners = cc_utilities.fetch({ 
      'parentLocation': location,
      'classFilter': 'banner',
      'depth': 1,
      'loadContent': true,
      'sortClause': 'priority',
      'sortOrder': 'desc'
   }) 
%}

This will return an array with each value having keys location and content.

Another example, to grab the closest alert item from the current node upwards with persistent attribute checked, sorted by priority and then name:

{% set paths = location.pathString|split('/')|reverse %}
{% set found_alert = false %}
{% for locationID in paths if not found_alert and locationID %}
    {% set alert = cc_utilities.fetch({
          'parentLocationID': locationID,
          'classFilter': 'alert',
          'sortClauses': [ 'priority', 'name' ],
          'sortOrders': [ 'desc', 'desc' ],
          'loadContent': true,
          'depth': 1,
          'limit': 1,
          'attributeFilter': [
              [ 'persistent', 'eq', true ]
          ]
       })
    %}
    {% set found_alert = alert|length > 0 %}
{% endfor %}
