TYPO3 Extension "DB Rector"
===========================

[](#typo3-extension-db-rector)

> **Note: As of version 13.0.0, this extension uses [typo3-fractor](https://github.com/andreaswolf/fractor-typo3-fractor).**

Disclaimer
----------

[](#disclaimer)

It is strongly recommended **NOT** to run this extension **in production environments**!

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This **extension must be installed via Composer**, e.g., `composer req --dev creifenscheid/db-rector`, to install typo3-fractor and get it running. While you can download it from the [TYPO3 Extension Repository](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/db_rector/), **it still needs to be installed via Composer**.

What does it do
---------------

[](#what-does-it-do)

This extension acts as an adapter to run typo3-fractor in the TYPO3 backend, enabling the refactoring of TypoScript stored in `sys_template.config`.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Backend module to:
    - View all TypoScript stored in the database
    - Run typo3-fractor on individual or all database entries
    - Review the results of the typo3-fractor process (including a diff view)
    - Apply typo3-fractor results to the corresponding sys\_template record
    - Roll back to the original TypoScript
- Security
    - The backend module is only active in the TYPO3 development context by default

### Note

[](#note)

If the `sys_template` record is modified after the fractor process or after applying the fractor result, the corresponding fractor model will be reset.
This allows the updated sys\_template TypoScript to be processed again.

### Known working setups

- DDEV based environments

### Known not working setups

### Extension configuration

[](#extension-configuration)

ParameterDefaultOptionalDescriptionignoreTYPO3ContextfalseyesIf set to `true`, the TYPO3 installation context will be ignored—this is not recommended.### Rector configuration

[](#rector-configuration)

To configure typo3-fractor, a file named `fractor.php` is required. This file is generated semi-automatically by copying a predefined template into the working folder.

Since only TypoScript refactoring is needed, the fractor configuration file remains small and simple.

The following configuration parameters are defined dynamically:

ParameterValue(s)Descriptionsets2 defined "Typo3LevelSetList" sets- the previous TYPO3 version
- the current TYPO3 version
