Gluggi Bundle
The Becklyn Gluggi Bundle is a modular layout system.
Installation
- First install the bundle via composer:
composer require becklyn/gluggi-bundle
- Load the bundle in your
bundles.php
- Load the routing:
layout:
resource: "@GluggiBundle/Resources/config/routes.yaml"
prefix: /_layout/
Configuration
You can define several config values in your app/config.yaml
:
Key | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
|
| no | The layout directory, relative to your |
|
| no | The CSS files that will automatically be loaded. All paths are namespaced (see |
|
| no | The JavaScript files that will automatically be loaded. All paths are namespaced (see |
|
| no | Like |
|
| no | The action to render the info. See the section below for details. |
|
| no | An optional title of the project, that is added in some places in the output (i.e. as suffix in the HTML title and on the index page). |
|
| no | An array with arbitrary data. See below for details. |
Default Configuration
gluggi:
layout_dir: _layout
info_action: ~
title: ~
data: []
css: []
js: []
js_head: []
Usage
You can add your views in templates/_layout/{atom,molecule,organism,template,page}
.
Including views in other views
Especially in views that include other subviews it is preferable to just import these subviews, instead of copy & pasting them through the layout project.
Gluggi contains a simple twig function that includes a component:
<div class="wrapper">
{{ gluggi("atom", "example") }}
</div>
The function has three parameters: gluggi(type, name [, templateContext])
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
|
| the type of the component, like |
|
| the name of the component (the filename with extension) |
|
| the variables that are available in the templates |
To keep your templates as minimal and clean as possible, you should always use {{ gluggi() }}
instead of the twig-own {{ include() }}
and {% include "..." %}
.
Embedding other views
You can also embed other components in the current component, to extend and change some block contents. Use the gluggi_template(type, name)
in the embed
tag.
{% embed gluggi_template("atom", "example") with {a: 1, b: 2} %}
{% block some_block %}
More content.
{% endblock %}
{% endembed %}
The function has two parameters: gluggi_template(type, name)
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
|
| the type of the component, like |
|
| the name of the component (the filename with extension) |
Template Variables
Components can use variables (just like any other Twig template).
All templates need to work standalone, so the value of the variable must be defined in the template via {% set variable = ... %}
.
To allow overwriting certain values, the ??
null coalescing operator can be used. If the component is included in another template, the variables can be changed.
atom/list.html.twig
:
<ul>
{% for i in 1 .. (entries ?? 3) %}
<li>Entry #{{ i }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
molecule/long-list.html.twig
:
<div class="long-list">
{{ gluggi("atom", "list", {entries: 10}) }}
</div>
Predefined Template Variables
There are some variables, that are always defined in the templates.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
|
| Defines, whether the component is previewed standalone or embedded in another component. Defaults to |
You can overwrite predefined values in included templates, by passing an explicit value as template parameter:
{{ gluggi("atom", "example", {standalone: true}) }}
standalone
The purpose of this variable is to provide an indicator whether the component is previewed in isolation or embedded in another template. This is for example important if a component receives its actual width from the parent.
atom/example.html.twig
:
{% if standalone %}<div style="width: 800px;">{% endif %}
<div class="example">
{# ... #}
</div>
{% if standalone %}</div>{% endif %}
molecule/product.html.twig
:
{# here the width is defined on the product, so the helper <div> shouldn't be in the output #}
<div class="product">
{{ gluggi("atom", "example") }} {# includes with standalone = false by default #}
</div>
Using assets in views
Inline assets
Load the assets directly from the bundle via becklyn/asset-bundle
’s asset()
function or just use the regular asset()
function from Symfony:
<!-- Resources/views/atom/example.html.twig -->
<div class="example">
<img src="{{ asset("@app/img/example.jpg") }}" alt="Example Image">
</div>
Separating content and layout assets
In a regular layout project, there are some assets that are required for the layout to function (like logos, background images, etc…). And there are content images, that act as placeholders in the layout previews.
It is recommended to separate the two images into two directories:
img
for layout assetscontent
for content placeholder assets
Styling helpers
There is a styling helper for usage in your layout views.
It adds a top margin on every direct child element, except the first child. Use it like this:
<div class="gluggi-variations">
<!-- First component -->
<!-- Second component -->
<!-- ... -->
</div>
If the component itself should not get a top margin, wrap the components in a single div:
<div class="gluggi-variations">
<div><!-- First component --></div>
<div><!-- Second component --></div>
<!-- ... -->
</div>
Template Configuration
You can define configuration parameters in the template, for example setting the body class for a page
component.
Template configuration is defined with a twig comment as the first element in the template:
{#-
# the indention is automatically removed
some_configuration: test
another_value: a
-#}
The configuration format is YAML. All configuration parameters are optional.
Defined Configuration Parameters
Parameter | type | in | description |
---|---|---|---|
|
| (any isolated view) | Sets the given class on the body. |
|
| (any isolated view) | Sets the |
|
| (any isolated view) | Adds given assets to a component. |
|
| (any isolated view) | Overrides the given assets on a component. |
Define configuration parameters “add_assets” and “override_assets”
The configuration parameters add_assets
and override_assets
are defined similar to the default configuration.
override_assets:
css: []
js: []
js_head: []
add_assets:
css: []
js: []
js_head: []
Index Info
The main app can embed arbitrary HTML into the index page. This will be added on the right side, next to the list of components. Just define a controller action in the configuration, and the returned HTML is embedded in the page. If the returned HTML is empty, the info container will be hidden.
gluggi:
info_action: "SomeBundle:Test:gluggiInfo"
This will call SomeBundle\Controller\TestController::gluggiInfo()
. This configuration option uses {{ render(controller("...")) }}
internally, so every syntax that is accepted by this call, will be accepted by Gluggi as well.
Template Data
You can define global data, that is accessible in all component templates.
gluggi:
data:
key1: abc
key2: 123
icons:
- "add"
- "remove"
- "search"
This data can be accessed in the templates via {{ gluggi_data(key) }}
.
So for example:
{% for icon in gluggi_data("icons") %}
<i class="icon icon-{{ icon }}"></i>
{% endfor %}
To ease fast debugging, the twig function will throw an exception, if the key is not defined in the data array.
Dummy Content
To easily produce some example pages, there are several Twig helper functions that render dummy content:
content
Renders example rich text content.
{{- gluggi_dummy("content", {headlines: 4}) -}}
name | type | description |
---|---|---|
headlines | number | The number of headline levels to render (default: 4 ) |
form
Renders a form with a lot of different form field types + states.
{{- gluggi_dummy("form") -}}
