INTRODUCTION

The Tide Demo Content module leverages the Yaml Content module to provide default demo content for the Tide modules. It also enables privileged users to import YAML content via Admin UI.

REQUIREMENTS

USAGE

  • The Tide Demo Content imports all demo content upon installation.
  • It also removes all imported demo content when it is uninstalled.
  • Privileged users with the "manually import demo content" permission can import YAML content file via the UI: Admin > Content > Import Demo Content.
  • To construct the YAML content file, please refer to the following resources:

FOR DEVELOPERS

The Tide Demo Content module utilises the Yaml Content module to import its own definition of demo content.

  • Drush commands of the Yaml Content module module will not recognise demo content defined under the structure of Tide Demo Content, hence they will not import those demo content.
  • The Tide Demo Content module will not remove standard YAML content imported by Drush commands of YAML Content module.
  • Custom demo content can be defined in the yourmodule.tide_demo_content.yml. Each demo content collection can have the following keys:
    • dependencies declares the requirements of the collection:
      1. modules: list of required modules. If at least one required module is not enabled, the collection will be ignored by Tide Demo Content.
      2. collections: list of demo content collection to be imported before this collection can be imported. If a required collection is missing, this collection will be ignored.
    • content declares the list of .content.yml files of the collection.
      • Tide Demo Content module will look for .content.yml files under the directory demo_content/content/ of your module to import.
      • If the content key has a directory, everything under that directory will be imported recursively.
      • All items of the content keys will be imported in the same order defined in the collection.
      • Images and files will be imported from the demo_content/images and demo_content/data_files directories.

Example

The structure of mymodule:

 |- demo_content
 |  |- content
 |     |- taxonomy_term
 |     |  |- mymodule.tags.yml
 |     |  |- mymodule.topic.yml
 |     |- mymodule.extra.content
 |     |- mymodule.media.content.yml
 |     |- mymodule.node.content.yml  
 |- mymodule.info.yml
 |- mymodule.install
 |- mymodule.module
 |- mymodule.tide_demo_content.yml   

mymodule.tide_demo_content.yml

mymodule.demo:
  dependencies:
    modules:
      - mymodule
      - tide_core
    collections:
      - tide_demo_content:tide_core.demo
      - tide_demo_content:tide_site.demo
  content:
    - taxonomy_term
    - mymodule.media.content.yml
    - mymodule.node.content.yml
mymodule.extra_demo:
  dependencies:
    modules:
      - mymodule
      - tide_core
    collections:
      - mymodule:mymodule.demo
  content:
    - mymodule.extra.content.yml

The mymodule modules defines 2 demo content collections:

  1. mymodule.demo
    • requires 2 modules: mymodule and tide_core.
    • depends on 2 demo collections tide_core.demo and tide_site.demo from the tide_demo_content module.
    • Tide Demo Content will import the .content.yml files of mymodule.demo in the following order:
      1. taxonomy_term/*
      2. mymodule.media.content.yml
      3. mymodule.node.content.yml
  2. mymodule.extra_demo
    • requires 2 modules: mymodule and tide_core.
    • depends on and will be imported after mymodule.demo

Custom Yaml Content process plugins

  • URI Reference: derived from the Reference process plugin. It accepts all parameters of the reference process plugin and returns the uri of the found entity instead of the ID. This plugin can be used for Link fields or Menu items.
  field_external_link:
    - uri: https://www.vic.gov.au
      title: Victorian Government
  field_internal_link:
    - '#process':
        callback: uri_reference
        args:
          - node
          - type: page
            title: Demo Page 
      title: 'Read more'  

Hooks

  • hook_tide_demo_content_collection_ignore is invoked before Tide Demo Content imports demo content collections. It allows other modules to exclude unwanted demo content collections. When a collection is ignored, all its dependants are also automatically ignored due to missing dependencies. Ignoring the tide_demo_content:tide_media.demo and tide_demo_content:tide_site.demo will exclude all default demo content from Tide modules except demo users.
  • hook_tide_demo_content_entity_imported is invoked after Tide Demo Content imports a demo entity.
