Download the PHP package becklyn/gluggi-bundle without Composer

Gluggi

Modular layout system

Installation

1. First install the bundle via composer:

2. Load the bundle in your AppKernel
3. Load the routing in your routing.yaml or routing_dev.yaml:

Configuration

You can define several config values in your app/config.yaml:

Default configuration

Usage

Create a LayoutBundle and load it in your AppKernel.

You can add your views in LayoutBundle/Resources/views/{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:

The function has three parameters: gluggi(type, name [, templateContext])

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.

The function has two parameters: gluggi_template(type, name)

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 |default(...) filter from Twig can be used. If the component is included in another template, the variables can be changed.

atom/list.html.twig:

molecule/long-list.html.twig:

Predefined template variables

This is list of predefined variables:

You can overwrite predefined values in included templates, by passing an explicit value as template parameter:

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:

molecule/product.html.twig:

Using assets in views

Referenced assets

Place your images under Resources/public/img (just as in any other Symfony bundle) and reference the image in your SCSS file via url("../img/...").

Inline assets

Load the assets directly from the bundle via becklyn/asset-bundle's asset() function:

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:

• Resources/public/img for layout assets
• Resources/public/content 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:

If the component itself should not get a top margin, wrap the components in a single 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 configuration format is YAML. All configuration parameters are optional.

Defined configuration parameters

Define configuration parameters "add_assets" and "override_assets"

The configuration parameters add_assets and override_assets are defined similar to the default configuration.

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.

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.

This data can be accessed in the templates via {{ gluggi_data(key) }}.

So for example:

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 helper functions that render to dummy content:

content

Renders example rich text content.

Options:

• headlines: the number of headline levels to render (default: 4)

form

Renders a form with a lot of different form field types + states.
