Web JS

The web-js in connection with web component twig extension gives you simple and efficient way to handle your javascript components over twig.

Installation

NPM

# NPM:
npm install @sulu/web

# Yarn
yarn add @sulu/web

# pnpm
pnpm add @sulu/web

Usage

Create your first component

A component can be created using different JS patterns:

Class Component

// js/components/test-class.js
export default class Test {
    constructor(el, options) {
        this.text = options.text;
        el.onclick = this.say;
    }

    say() {
        alert(this.text);
    }
}

Function Component

// js/components/test-function.js
export default function(el, options) {
    el.onclick = function() {
        alert(options.text);
    };
}

Create your first service

Sometimes you want just run js code which is not binded to a dom element for this services where created. Typically usages are running tracking code functions.

// js/services/log.js

module.exports = {
   log: function(text) {
       console.log(text);
   }
};

Initialize web.js and registering your components and services

import web from '@sulu/web';
import Test from './components/test-class'
import more from './components/test-function'
import Log from './services/log';

// components
web.registerComponent('test', Test);
web.registerComponent('more', more, { defaultOption: 'defaultValue' });

// services
web.registerService('logger', Log);

Embedding in template

For efficient handling it's recommended to use it with a template engine like twig.

Twig

For twig embedding see the web component twig extension.

<button id="{{ prepare_component('test') }}">
    Say Hello
</button>

<button id="{{ prepare_component('test') }}">
    Say Bye
</button>

{% do prepare_service('logger', 'log', ['Hello']) %}

<script src="js/main.js"></script>
<script>
    web.startComponents({{ get_components() }});
    web.callServices({{ get_services() }});
</script>

HTML

You can also use without a template engine and by calling the startComponents and callServices.

<button id="test-1">
    Say Hello
</button>

<button id="test-2">
    Say Bye
</button>

<script src="js/main.js"></script>
<script>
    web.startComponents([
        {name: 'test', id: 'test-1', { text: 'Hello' }}, 
        {name: 'test', id: 'test-2', { text: 'Bye' }},
    ]);
    
    web.callServices([
        {name: 'logger', func: 'log', args: ['Hello']},
    ]);
</script>

The @sulu/web-js provides some components and services which can be registered in your container and be used.

Content Security Policy

If you want to work with CSP and avoid inline scripts you can just write the components into a data attribute and read it from there. E.g.:

<script id="app" data-components="[
        {name: 'test', id: 'test-1', { text: 'Hello' }}, 
        {name: 'test', id: 'test-2', { text: 'Bye' }},
    ]"

    data-services="[
        {name: 'logger', func: 'log', args: ['Hello']},
    ]"
    
    src="js/main.js"></script>

Then the data attribute can be read in the main.js and the components started there.

Web CSS

Beside the js the @sulu/web-js is also shipped with some scss tools to make also creating css easier. They can be found in the scss directory.

Version Update & Publish to NPM (docs for maintainers)

1. Create release on github

Update package.json version on master branch:

git checkout master
git pull origin master
npm version [ major | minor | patch ] --no-git-tag-version
# update version in changelog
git add .
git commit -m "Release <version>"
git push origin master

Generate changelog:

github_changelog_generator --future-release <version>

Copy the text of the last release into github release description and create new release.

2. Publish release

git fetch --tags
git checkout <version>
# Test which files get packed by npm
npm pack --dry-run
# Publish package
npm publish
