Twig Template generator

[TheCadien]

I think when we create templates, we should not only create the XML and an empty Twig template, but integrate a sample HTML directly into the Twig template.
To do this, we should set a default template for each content type, which is only used in the template.

Examples can be taken one-to-one from the documentation.

Example:

If you select ‘single_media_selection’ as the content type.
The command then writes to the XML.

<property name="document" type="single_media_selection">
    <meta>
        <title lang="en">Document</title>
    </meta>
</property>

and adds the following to the twig template.

{% set image = content.image %}
<img src="{{ image.thumbnails['400x400'] }}" alt="{{ image.title }}" title="{{ image.description|default(image.title) }}">

• Block
• Category selection
• Checkbox
• Collection selection

This feature would also be great if it could be combined with global block types. Something like sulu:make:block and this will create a block xml and a twig template filled with these examples.

hmmmm what do you think how we can structrued that ? Forexample with neested blocks ? @mamazu

Well if I understand your idea correctly with this feature is to have a command something like "sulu:make:page" or similar to generate the page xml with the properties and the templates that would render those properties.

My suggestion would be to also extend this to the global blocks feature. So that you can run sulu:make:block and it would create a block type definition in the config/templates/blocks/ folder and you could then specify properties for the block and it would render those into the block config.

But the biggest blocker would be the templates anyways. @TheCadien
