Ibexa Design Integration Bundle

This bundle extends erdnaxelaweb/staticfakedesign to provide an abstraction layer for the Ibexa CMS in order to streamline the templates development workflow.

It serves as a bridge between static design development and the Ibexa CMS by:

1. Providing a consistent definition model for content types, taxonomy entries, and landing page blocks
2. Managing transformations between Ibexa's native objects and template-friendly representations
3. Enabling developers to build and test templates before the CMS integration
4. Offering a smooth transition from static design to dynamic CMS implementation

Usage

Refer to the erdnaxelaweb/staticfakedesign bundle documentation for detailed usage instructions.

Content types

Define content types in a standardized way using the definition pattern:

parameters:
    erdnaxelaweb.static_fake_design.content_definition:
        article:
            name:
                eng-GB: 'Article'
            nameSchema: '<title>'
            urlAliasSchema: '<title>'
            fields:
                title:
                    type: string
                    required: true
                body:
                    type: richtext
                    required: false

Taxonomy entries

Define taxonomy types for categorizing content:

parameters:
    erdnaxelaweb.static_fake_design.taxonomy_entry_definition:
        category:
            fields:
                name:
                    required: true
                    type: string
                identifier:
                    required: true
                    type: string

Landing Page Blocks

Create custom landing page blocks:

ibexa_design_integration:
  system:
    default:
      block_definition:
        featured_articles:
            views:
                default: '@ibexadesign/landing_page/block/featured_articles.html.twig'
            attributes:
                title:
                    type: "string"
                    required: false
                articles:
                    type: "content"
                    required: true
                    options:
                        type: article
                        max: 3

Template Integration

The bundle provide a set of twig functions to integrate templates with the Ibexa CMS.:

• display_content: Renders a content view template

{{ display_content(<template name>, <content>, <parameters>, <is ESI>, <view type>) }}
{{ display_content('@ibexadesign/content/list/news.html.twig', content, []) }}

• display_block: Renders a block view template

{{ display_block(<block>, <is ESI>) }}
{{ display_block(block) }}

• display_component: Renders a component view template

{{ display_component('@ibexadesign/components/footer.html.twig', []) }}
{{ display_component(<template name>, <parameters>, <controller action>, <is ESI>) }}

Thoses functions are used to switch between include and render depending on the context (static or dynamic version).

Rules for view template integration

1. A content view template should always be associated with a content object
2. Page template names should follow the pattern: <view>/<content_type>.html.twig
3. The content variable in a content view template should always be named content
