Compatibility and Maintenance

Ready to use

Content NodeTypes

• Heading
• Paragraph
• Responsive Image (srcset)
• SVG-Image
• Button
• Responsive Iframe
• Grid (two-, three- and four-column)

Document NodeTypes

• Home
• Page

Rules:

• Each first code-line of a file contains a comment with the respective css class, e.g. # basetype-paragraph
• Properties are always namespaced with the BaseType Name, e.g. paragraphText - not only text

Structure:

• Each NodeType is composed out of Mixin parts. For the Paragraph these are:
  • WebExcess.BaseTypes:Content defines the NodeType as a Content-Element
  • WebExcess.BaseTypes:Paragraph.ui makes the NodeType an needed Inspector Groups visible
  • WebExcess.BaseTypes:Paragraph.properties.paragraphText--inplace enables the Property paragraphText with inplace settings
• Each Property is available in three modes:
  • WebExcess.BaseTypes:Paragraph.properties.paragraphText the basic property settings
  • WebExcess.BaseTypes:Paragraph.properties.paragraphText--inspector .. including the inspector settings
  • WebExcess.BaseTypes:Paragraph.properties.paragraphText--inplace .. including the inplace settings

Hint:

• Import your initial content with ./flow site:import --package-key WebExcess.BaseTypes

Usage / Extending

BaseTypes is replacing and extending existing Neos NodeTypes and enables you to easily build and extend your own custom NodeTypes.

Example:

Create in your Theme Package a Teaser-NodeType which includes an image, an inplace editable heading and text..

NodeTypes.Teaser.yaml

'WebExcess.Theme:Teaser':
	superTypes:
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Content': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Heading.ui': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Heading.properties.headingText--inplace': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Heading.properties.headingTagName--inspector': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Paragraph.ui': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Paragraph.properties.paragraphText--inplace': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Image.ui': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Image.properties.imageAsset--inspector': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Button.properties.buttonUrl--inspector': true
		'WebExcess.BaseTypes:Button.properties.buttonStyle': true
	ui:
		label: 'Teaser'
		icon: icon-file-text-o

NodeTypes.Teaser.fusion

prototype(WebExcess.Theme:Teaser) >
prototype(WebExcess.Theme:Teaser) < prototype(WebExcess.BaseTypes:Image) {
	content = Neos.Fusion:Array {
		heading = WebExcess.BaseTypes:HeadingObject
		heading.@position = 'after image'
		
		text = WebExcess.BaseTypes:ParagraphObject
		text.@position = 'after heading'
	}
}

That's all
