Installation ------------ [](#installation) This library is installed via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). To install, use `composer require pointybeard/symphony-extended` or add `"pointybeard/symphony-extended": "~1.0.0"` to your `composer.json` file. And run composer to update your dependencies: ``` $ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php $ php composer.phar update ``` ### Requirements [](#requirements) This library requires PHP7.3 or greater. This library also makes use of the [PHP Helpers: JSON Functions](https://github.com/pointybeard/helpers-functions-json) (`pointybeard/helpers-functions-json`). It is installed automatically via composer. To include all the [PHP Helpers](https://github.com/pointybeard/helpers) packages on your project, use `composer require pointybeard/helpers` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### AbstractExtension [](#abstractextension) Extend your `extension.driver.php` class with `pointybeard\Symphony\Extended\AbstractExtension` instead of `\Extension`. Provides the following extra class method: `status`, `handle`, `about`, and `install` In addition, this extended class expects to find a file `extension.json` in the extension folder. This is essentially a JSON representation of the `extension.meta.xml` file however adds support for dependencies. E.g. ``` { "id": "my_awesome_extension", "name": "My Awesome Extension", "description": "This describes the extension.", "repo": "https://github.com/pointybeard/my_awesome_extension.git", "homepage": "https://github.com/pointybeard/my_awesome_extension", "type": [ "Utility" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Alannah Kearney", "email": "hi@alannahkearney.com", "homepage": "http://alannahkearney.com", "role": "Developer" } ], "require": [ "uuidfield", "uniqueinputfield", "selectbox_link_field" ], "releases": [ { "version": "1.0.0", "date": "2020-03-28", "min": "2.7.10", "max": "2.x.x" }, { "version": "0.1.0", "date": "2010-01-10", "min": "2.6.x", "max": "2.x.x" } ] } ``` Dependencies are checked prior to commencing installation. If your extension has a custom `install()` method, be sure to include a call to `parent::install();`. ### AbstractSectionDatasource [](#abstractsectiondatasource) Extend your custom Data Sources with `pointybeard\Symphony\Extended\AbstractSectionDatasource` instead of `\SectionDatasource`. This extended class gives you the ability to define your `$dsParamFILTERS` array with field element names instead of ID values making your data source more portable (i.e. if the field ID changes, your data source doesn't need to be updated). **Note: By extending AbstractSectionDatasource, your data source can no longer be edited via the Symphony Data Source editor.** Support ------- [](#support) If you believe you have found a bug, please report it using the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/pointybeard/symphony-extended/issues), or better yet, fork the library and submit a pull request.
