Download the PHP package sitegeist/monocle without Composer

On this page you can find all versions of the php package sitegeist/monocle. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.

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?

StyleCI

Sitegeist.Monocle

A living styleguide for Neos

This package adds a styleguide module to Neos that renders the Fusion prototypes in isolation that are annotated with @styleguide.

Authors & Sponsors

The development and the public-releases of this package is generously sponsored by our employer http://www.sitegeist.de.

Living Styleguide

The Monocle-Module uses the real Fusion-code to render the annotated prototypes in isolation. That way the styleguide is always up to date and cannot diverge over time from the real codebase.

The Monocle was defined with Atomic-Design and pure Fusion without Fluid in mind but the implementation is Coding-Style and Template-Engine agnostic. You can use Monocle to render Fluid based Prototypes without any limitation.

Installation

Sitegeist.Monocle is available via packagist and can be installed with the command composer require sitegeist/monocle.

We use semantic-versioning so every breaking change will increase the major-version number.

Usage

Create items for the styleguide

To render a prototype as a styleguide-item it simply has to be annotated:

The styleguide will render the items without the usual context. The site, documenNode and node context variables are not present inside the styleguide rendering by intention.

That way it is ensured that your prototypes rely only on the fusion path for rendering and are not affected by editor data. This is important for reliable testing of components.

To map an actual content-node on a component-prototype use a separate fusion prototype.

That way the rendering prototype is completely separated from the mapping prototype and therefore highly reusable.

The distinction between rendering- and mapping-prototypes can be compared to presentational-components vs. container-components in the ReactJS world.

Preview Containers

Often components have to be rendered in the styleguide inside another component. In this case a container can be defined in the styleguide annotation. The container is applied as a processor to the currently previewed prototype with the rendered content available as value in the context.

For flexibility it is advisible to define a prop content = ${value} on container prototyoes which ensures that the containers can be used as processor or via afx with tag children.

When multiple styleguide elements are nested please note that only the container for the outermost element will be rendered. For all nested elements the container will be omitted. This also applies to prototypes rendered by Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Prototype.

Use Cases

The useCases section of the styleguide annotation allows to configure scenarios the component shall be previewed in. If a useCase defines props or container those are will override the styleguide settings for this component. The title is optional and will fallback to the key the useCase is defined in.

Prop Sets !!!deprecated!!!

!!! PropSets are deprecated and should not be mixed with UseCases. Monocle will not show the PropSet selector for components that have useCases and the API endpoint will ignore propSets once a useCase is selected. The PropSet Feature will be removed in one of the next major versions once if causes extra effort to the monocle maintenance !!!

PropSets allow to specify additional values for props that are merged into the main styleguide props of a component to allow to simulate wider range of scenarios a component may be used.

Preview Configuration

Some configuration is available to configure the preview.

To include your styles and scripts into the preview you can extend the Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Page prototype the same way you would customize Neos.Neos:Page.

Grids

The key grids in the monocle ui configuration allows to specify a responsive layout grid visualization that can be activated in the monocle ui or the preview endpoint.

Each grid has the following options:

!!! The grid visualization assumes that the body of the document has no padding or margin. If this is not the case the grid may not be positioned or dimensioned correctly !!!

Viewports

To configure the available viewport presets you can alter the following configuration.

Locales

If you have translations in your component you can configure the available locales via settings

Hotkeys (experimental)

Some elements of Monocle can be controlled via keyboard. All hotkeys in use can be configured via Settings. It seems though, this is not always working reliably - so please be aware, that you might experience strange side effects, when overriding the default hotkey configuration.

Structure

At the heart of Monocles navigation mechanism sits the prototype selector. In this component you'll find all components that are annotated with @styleguide, grouped by configurable criteria.

A possible configuration for such a group looks like this:

Under the configuration path Sitegeist.Monocle.preview.structure, you can define an arbitrary number of component groups. Each group consists of:

Monocle ships with a default structure configuration that tries to represent an Atomic-Design-like structure. So, the configuration consists of defaults for atoms, molecules, organisms and templates.

Each component that doesn't match any of the configured groups will instead be put into the unknown group.

Hide components

If you do not want to display components, you can define hiddenPrototypeNamePatterns as follows:

Specific components can be "unhidden" even if they match one of the hiddenPrototypeNamePatterns patterns:

This allows for including prototypes of packages selectively.

Package-specific configuration

All configurations can be overwritten for each selected site package.

This packages configuration can also be used to configure non-site packages for previewing in the styleguide.

When a prototyope of a non-site package is rendered Monocle will only load the Root.fusion of this specific package and the Monocle Root.fusion. Every other fusion including the default fusion has to be included explicitly. This mimics the behavior of the classic FusionView that is used for FusionRendering of Flow Controller Actions.

Fusion

Sitegeist.Monocle brings some fusion-prototypes that you can use or adjust to your needs.

Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Page

The prototype Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Page renders the preview view for a prototype, to do so it uses Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Prototype below. You can extend this prototype to add your styles and scripts as you would with Neos.Neos:Page.

You have to add the same header informations to Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Page AND to Neos.Neos:Page to make ensure the rendered result in the styleguide is identical to the frontend. To do it is recommended to centralize those in fusion-components.

Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Prototype

The prototype Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Prototype is used to render a single prototype with applied styleguide props. This is useful if you want to provide the result as prop to the preview of another prototype.

The prototyoe allows to specify the following options:

The following example shows how the Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Prototype can be used to render a preview inside of a styleguide prop:

Simulate API-Endpoints

Monocle has fusion-prototypes to simulate json api responses for components.

Sitegeist.Monocle:DataUri

Generic data uri implementation that expects type and content as string

The DataUri-Prototypes will encode the content as base64. Attention: Data Uris do not accept url-parameters. If you frontend code adds arguments to the mock you have to be aware of that.

For convenience special prototypes for json and text exist:

Sitegeist.Monocle:MirrorUri

Create an uri to an monocle endpoint that returns the passed content with the given type

Attention: Browsers will often crop the urls to a maximal length, be aware of that if you mock large json-structures.

For convenience special prototypes for json and text exist:

Sitegeist.Monocle:StaticUri

Create an URI that will return the content of the file and the contentType for the given key.

The path and content type for each key are configured via Settings:

Mocking Uris inside the styleguide

Props & Prop Editors

While previewing Fusion prototypes the Monocle UI offers a mechanism to override certain properties of that prototype in an ad-hoc fashion. This allows you to quickly examine whether your prototype works in certain unforseen configurations (longer or shorter text for instance).

Monocle will try to reproduce the API of your prototype from multiple sources and will offer all props as editable that can be plausibly associated with a specific editor configuration. By default, Monocle will scan the @styleguide.props path in your fusion code for prop values. If your prototype happens to be a Neos.Fusion:Component (which in most cases it'll likely be), Monocle also scans all default values of your Component props.

Given a prop value, Monocle will check its type and provide a fitting editor configuration. Below is a table for all standard cases:

Value Type Editor
string (with less than 81 characters) TextField
string (with more than 80 characters) TextArea
int or float TextField
boolean CheckBox

Additionally, if you need more control over which editor is used you may include a custom configuration under the @styleguide.options.propEditors path in your fusion code:

An overview of available editors can be found under [PropEditors].

If you are using PackageFactory.AtomicFusion.PropTypes then check out Sitegeist.Monocle.PropTypes. This package automatically generates editor configurations that that fit your PropTypes.

Hide props in Inspector

Sometimes it can be useful to remove editors for props completely (for example for props that contain HTML). This can be done with the hidePropsInInspector option:

Fusion Object Tree Caching

Monocle will cache the fusion code for every site package. To invalidate this cache the the Fusion directories of all packages are monitored and changes trigger the flushing of the fusion-cache.

The setting Sitegeist.Monocle.fusion.enableObjectTreeCache enables the caching in Monocle by default.

Routes

The monocle Routes are included automatically via Settings.

Policies

Monocle comes with four privilege targets to control access.
