EXT:mst\_yaml2tca - Load simple TCA-Elements from yaml
======================================================

[](#extmst_yaml2tca---load-simple-tca-elements-from-yaml)

Situation
---------

[](#situation)

Writing TCA is always exhausting. Especially if you want to have the element in the New Content Element Wizard. With this extension it is possible to put simple elements in a YAML file.

The following elements are supported:

- columns
- palettes
- plugins
- contentElements
- container

When loading, it is still being tested whether it is possible to load a Flexform. For this purpose, a file with the name of the element (in UpperCamelCase) can simply be placed in the Configuration/FlexForms/ContentElements or Configuration/FlexForms/Containers directory. Alternatively, a file can also be stored in the flexform field.

The yaml file has a section for each of the different content types. Plugins and content elements can each be assigned to a group. Containers are always automatically sorted into the Container groups. In EXT:mst\_yaml2tca/Resources/Private/Yaml/Elements.yaml is an example for such a file

Each entry corresponds to a tab.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To load a yaml file simply insert in: Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt\_content.php

```
  $register = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\MST\MstYaml2Tca\Tca\Registry::class);
  $register->loadFile($extKey, GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName('EXT:[yourextension]/Configuration/Yaml/Elements.yaml'));
```
