All you need to do is create the corresponding files for your component in the right directory. All components live in `views/components/` of their specific Symfony bundle, like the Shopware Storefront, or your own extension. There are two different ways to define a component, which will be covered in the following: + +### 1. Anonymous Components +The easiest way to define a new component is via a single template file, which is the common way for our Storefront Components. These are called anonymous components and all information for your component can directly be defined in the Twig template file. + +**Example Structure:** +``` +MyExtension/ + src/ + Resources/ + views/ + commponents/ + Button/ + Primary.html.twig +``` + +The directory and file structure of your component also defines the name of your component. Components from Shopware extensions are also automatically namespaced with the name of the extension (bundle). The shown example will create the component `MyExtension:Button:Primary`. + +In anonymous components you can define properties for your component right within the template. Properties are configuration options that can be used to pass data to your component. You can define default values for these properties and use the data within your component template as usual Twig variables. + +**Component Template:** +```Twig +{# components/Button/Primary.html.twig #} + +{% props + label = 'Click here!', + size = 'md', +%} + + +``` + +Your component can then be used in any other template by using the component name. This can be done via a specific Twig call or by using the new HTML syntax of Twig components. + +**Component Usage:** +```Twig +{# Any other template file #} + +
+ + + +
+``` + +This is just a very basic example of a component and there are a lot of more features available for Twig components. Please refer to the [official documentation](https://symfony.com/bundles/ux-twig-component/current/index.html) for all details. + +### 2. PHP Class +The second, more advanced way for creating a component is by PHP class. In Shopware we decided that these PHP classes should be placed right where your component template and other files of your component are located. This provides the epxerience of a real comopnent system and you have all component related files in one place. Therefore you can simply add the PHP class to the described directory structure. + +**Note:** As this method requires a PHP file, it is only available for Shopware Plugins, but not for Apps. If you want to create components in your App, use anonymous components instead. + +**Example Structure:** +``` +MyPlugin/ + src/ + Resources/ + views/ + commponents/ + Button/ + Primary.html.twig + Primary.php + +``` + +The loading and template matching is already solved by placing the file in the right directory, so you don't have to define a specific name or template path in your component class. + +**Component Class:** +```PHP + +``` + +When the script is loaded, Shopware will automatically initialize the component class on all elements matching the selector. This also applies to elements that might be added later. You do not need to do this manually. Shopware will observe the DOM tree and initialize components also on elements that are dynamically added to the document. + +### Component Configuration +Components can be configured through a data attribute named `data-component-options`. For example, you can pass information form Twig into your component. The options should be passed as a JSON string. + +```Twig +{% set componentOptions = { + foo: "bar" + test: true +} %} + +
+
+``` + +The passed options are merged with the default options that you define as static properties in your component class. + +If you want to have an even more component-style approach, you can simply pass through the Twig component properties to your JavaScript component. + +```Twig +{# views/components/MyComponent.html.twig #} + +{% props + foo = "bar", + custom = true, +%} + +
+ + {# Some component logic ... #} +
+``` + +### Event System +To react to actions from other components, there is a new central event system available which can be accessed via the global `window.Shopware` singleton. + +In your component you can emit events to inform others about an action and pass additional data via the event. + +```javascript +// MyComponent.js + +export default class MyComponent extends ShopwareComponent { + + // ... + + doSomething() { + const message = 'Hello World!'; + + window.Shopware.emit('MyComponent:DoSomething', message); + } +} +``` + +Other components can then subscribe to this event to react to that. + +```javascript +// SomeOtherComponent.js + +export default class SomeOtherComponent extends ShopwareComponent { + + init() { + window.Shopware.on('MyComponent:DoSomething', (message) => { + this.el.innerText = message; + }); + } +} +``` + +Of course, you can also register to events from anywhere else, also from outside of the component system. For example, if you just want to extend the logic of an existing component. + +### Event Interception +In addition to the normal asynchronous events, there is a seprate event type which expects a return value that gets further processed within the component. These events make it even easier to extend a components logic and offers a bunch of different use cases, like manipulating request data before it gets send. + +For example the BuyButton component offers an event `BuyButton:PreSubmit` which is interceptable, as it is called via `emitInterception()`. It is triggered when a user clicks the buy button of a product. + +```javascript +// BuyButton.js + +export default class BuyButton extends ShopwareComponent { + + // ... + + onFormSubmit(event) { + event.preventDefault(); + + let requestUrl = this.el.getAttribute('action'); + let formData = window.Shopware.serializeForm(this.el); + + ({ requestUrl, formData } = window.Shopware.emitInterception('BuyButton:PreSubmit', { requestUrl, formData })); + + window.Shopware.emit('BuyButton:Submit', requestUrl, formData); + + window.Shopware.callPluginMethod('OffCanvasCart', 'openOffCanvas', requestUrl, formData); + } +} +``` + +You can see that the event `BuyButton:PreSubmit` offers the opportunity to manipulate the `formData` before it gets sent. From any other script you can intercept this event and work with the arguments send via the event. + +```javascript +// Intercept the buy button event +window.Shopware.intercept('BuyButton:PreSubmit', (data) => { + + data.formData.append('foo', 'bar'); + + return data; +}); +``` + +Don't forget to return the data again, so the component logic can work with it. + +There can be multiple subscribers to a single event. They will all be executed in the order as they are registered. You can change the order by passing a priority parameter as an optional third option, when registering an event. By default all subscribers have the priority `0`. The higher the priority the earlier the subscriber is called in the chain. Also negative values are possible to move a subscriber further down the chain. + +```javascript +// Another interceptor to the buy button event +window.Shopware.intercept('BuyButton:PreSubmit', (data) => { + + data.formData.delete('foo'); + data.formData.append('bar', 'baz') + + return data; +}, -10); +``` + +### Method Calling + +Besides the event system you can also access other component instances directly, or call methods for all active instances of a component. + +```javascript +// Call a method on all instances of a component +Shopware.callMethod('MyComponentNamespace:MyComponent', 'refresh'); + +// Get all instances of a component +const instances = Shopware.getComponentInstances('MyComponentNamespace:MyComponent'); + +// Get a specific instance by element +const instance = Shopware.getComponentInstanceByElement('MyComponentNamespace:MyComponent', element); +``` + +### Mutation Observation + +Components can observe DOM and attribute changes on their elements and children. The component base class offers an optional mutation observer that can be started separately if needed. + +You can call `initializeObserver()` in your component to start the observer and pass the desired observer configuration. If you want to use this, there are two additional lifecycle methods available to react to content and attribute changes. + +```javascript +class ReactiveComponent extends ShopwareComponent { + init() { + // Enable observation for content and attribute changes + this.initializeObserver({ + childList: true, + attributes: true, + subtree: true + }); + } + + onContentUpdate(mutationRecord) { + // Handle content changes + this.refreshContent(); + } + + onAttributeUpdate(mutationRecord) { + // Handle attribute changes + this.updateFromAttributes(); + } +} +``` + +## Component Documentation (Experimental) +There is support for a component library based on Storybook. This feature is still experimental and will be improved in the future. If you want to provide component documentation for the library, you can place a story definition in your component directory. + +**Example Structure:** +``` +MyExtension/ + src/ + Resources/ + views/ + commponents/ + Button/ + Primary.html.twig + Primary.scss + Primary.js + Primary.stories.json +``` + +Within the stories file you can add the Storybook configuration for your component. + +**Example Story:** +```JSON +{ + "title": "MyExtension/Button/Primary", + "parameters": { + "server": { + "id": "MyExtension:Button:Primary" + }, + "template": "" + }, + "argTypes": { + "size": { + "control": "select", + "options": ["md", "lg"], + "description": "The size of the button." + }, + "label": { + "control": "text", + "description": "The button label." + }, + }, + "stories": [ + { + "name": "Primary", + "args": { + "size": "md", + "label": "Click me!" + } + } + ] +} +``` + +The component library can be started in your local Shopware development environment with the following command. + +``` +composer storefront:storybook +``` + +**Note:** Because the component preview in the documentation requires a controller to render the Twig template it is only available in local development setups and not in production environments. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/guides/plugins/apps/storefront/customize-templates.md b/guides/plugins/apps/storefront/customize-templates.md index f34cecb25a..0da49b4713 100644 --- a/guides/plugins/apps/storefront/customize-templates.md +++ b/guides/plugins/apps/storefront/customize-templates.md @@ -97,3 +97,8 @@ This `dump()` call will print out all variables available on this page. ::: info Once again, the plugin called [FroshDevelopmentHelper](https://github.com/FriendsOfShopware/FroshDevelopmentHelper) adds all available page data to the Twig tab in the profiler, when opening a request and its details.

This means it is available at the `window` object level and can directly be used in plain JavaScript. No imports or bundling is necessary. You can still use the bundling as it is avialable today or use your own build processes if desired, but the component scripts target for plain JavaScript that don't need to be build in conjuction with our core files. + We decided to make everything related to the component system available via global scope.
