FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

TYPO3 compatibility

TYPO3 Content Blocks GUI

[!WARNING] Beta state: This extension may contain bugs and can potentially break your TYPO3 installation. Do not install on production systems. Use only in development environments.

The Content Blocks GUI provides a visual backend module for creating and editing Content Blocks definitions. It serves as a kickstarter and YAML editor for the Content Blocks extension, allowing integrators to build Content Elements, Page Types, Record Types, and Basics through a drag-and-drop interface instead of writing YAML by hand.

Compatibility

Extension version TYPO3 version PHP version
1.0.x (beta) 13.4.19+ | 14.3+ 8.2+

Requirements

This extension requires the Content Blocks extension:

Content Blocks 1.x is the line for TYPO3 13.4, Content Blocks 2.x requires TYPO3 14.3. Composer picks the matching one for your TYPO3 version.

Installation

Require this package via Composer:

Or install it via the Extension Manager in the TYPO3 backend. The extension key is content_blocks_gui.

After installation, the module is available in the TYPO3 backend under Admin Tools > Content Blocks.

⚠️ Required: prepare a storage extension

[!IMPORTANT] The GUI only offers extensions that require friendsoftypo3/content-blocks in their own composer.json as a storage destination for new Content Blocks.

If no extension declares that dependency, the extension dropdown in the editor stays empty and you cannot create any Content Block.

Add the dependency to your sitepackage (or whichever extension should hold the Content Blocks):

…or add it manually to that extension's composer.json and run composer update afterwards, so the package metadata is refreshed.

Contributing

[!NOTE] Everything below is only relevant if you want to contribute to the extension itself. If you just want to use the Content Blocks GUI, you are done after the installation steps above.

Contributions are welcome — bug reports, feature ideas and pull requests alike. Open an issue or pull request on GitHub, or reach out on the TYPO3 Slack channel #cig-structuredcontent if you want to discuss an idea first.

Before opening a pull request, please run the tests as well as PHP-CS-Fixer, and rebuild the JavaScript if you touched any TypeScript sources.

Local DDEV Setup

There is a DDEV setup ready to use. Ensure DDEV is installed on your machine. Then run:

Continue with the TYPO3 installation process.

Building JavaScript

The frontend is built with TypeScript and Lit. The build runs inside the DDEV container, no local Node.js installation needed:

This compiles TypeScript, runs ESLint with auto-fix, and post-processes the output (import rewriting, minification) to Resources/Public/JavaScript/content-blocks-gui/.

TypeScript sources are in Build/Sources/TypeScript/friendsoftypo3/content-blocks-gui/.

TYPO3 Core TypeScript Files

The Build/Sources/TypeScript/backend/ and Build/Sources/TypeScript/core/ directories contain TypeScript files from the TYPO3 core, needed for type resolution during compilation. These are committed to the repo and rarely need updating.

See Build/TYPO3_CORE_TYPESCRIPT_SYNC.md for details on how to sync them when upgrading TYPO3 versions.

Testing

Run the test suites via DDEV custom commands:

Extra arguments are forwarded directly to the underlying runner, e.g. ddev test-unit --filter MyTest or ddev test-playwright --ui. Do not prefix them with --: PHPUnit treats -- as "the rest are test file paths", so ddev test-unit -- --filter MyTest would make PHPUnit look for a file named --filter.

On the first run, ddev test-playwright installs its npm dependencies and the chromium browser binary into Tests/Playwright/. If chromium fails to launch due to missing system libraries, add them via webimage_extra_packages in .ddev/config.yaml.
