This package implements additional Inspector Editors, behaving like the standard SelectBoxEditor with data sources, but **delegates filtering and searching to the server-side**. This greatly improves Neos UI performance for data sources with big collections (100s of elements). Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) 1. Default composer installation via: ``` composer require sandstorm/lazydatasource ``` 2. **for a single select:** In your `NodeTypes.yaml`, activate the custom editor by using `Sandstorm.LazyDataSource/Inspector/Editors/DataSourceSelectEditor`instead of `Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/SelectBoxEditor`. \*\*All configuration options [of the data source-based select](https://neos.readthedocs.io/en/stable/References/PropertyEditorReference.html#property-type-string-array-string-selectboxeditor-dropdown-select-editor)apply as usual. Additionally, we support the following additional `editorOptions`: - `dataSourceMakeNodeIndependent`: if set to TRUE, the currently selected node is NOT sent to the data source on the backend, increasing the cache lifetime on the client (e.g. the system can re-use elements from other nodes) **Example:** ``` 'Neos.Demo:Document.Page': properties: test: ui: inspector: group: 'document' ##### THIS IS THE RELEVANT CONFIG: editor: 'Sandstorm.LazyDataSource/Inspector/Editors/DataSourceSelectEditor' ##### all Select options (e.g. dataSourceAdditionalData) work as usual. editorOptions: placeholder: Choose dataSourceIdentifier: lazy-editor-test ``` 3. **for a multi select:** In your `NodeTypes.yaml`, activate the custom editor by using `Sandstorm.LazyDataSource/Inspector/Editors/DataSourceSelectEditor`instead of `Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/SelectBoxEditor`. \*\*All configuration options [of the data source-based select](https://neos.readthedocs.io/en/stable/References/PropertyEditorReference.html#property-type-string-array-string-selectboxeditor-dropdown-select-editor)apply as usual. Additionally, we support the following additional `editorOptions`: - `dataSourceMakeNodeIndependent`: if set to TRUE, the currently selected node is NOT sent to the data source on the backend, increasing the cache lifetime on the client (e.g. the system can re-use elements from other nodes) **Example:** ``` 'Neos.Demo:Document.Page': properties: test2: ##### Do not forget to set the property type to array type: array ui: inspector: group: 'document' ##### THIS IS THE RELEVANT CONFIG: editor: 'Sandstorm.LazyDataSource/Inspector/Editors/DataSourceSelectEditor' ##### all Select options (e.g. dataSourceAdditionalData) work as usual. editorOptions: allowEmpty: true multiple: true placeholder: Choose dataSourceIdentifier: lazy-editor-test ``` **Do not forget to set the property type to `array`.** 4. In your `DataSource` implementation on the server, use the `LazyDataSourceTrait` and implement the two methods `getDataForIdentifiers()`and `searchData()`. Do not implement `getData()` (as this is provided by the trait). - `getDataForIdentifiers()` is called during the initial call, when the client-side needs to resolve entries for certain identifiers. - `searchData()` is called when the user has entered a search term, and needs to perform the searching. The return value for both methods needs to be the same as for normal data sources. Example: ``` use Neos\Neos\Service\DataSource\AbstractDataSource; use Neos\ContentRepository\Domain\Model\NodeInterface; class MyLazyDataSource extends AbstractDataSource { use LazyDataSourceTrait; static protected $identifier = 'lazy-editor-test'; protected function getDataForIdentifiers(array $identifiers, NodeInterface $node = null, array $arguments = []) { $options = []; foreach ($identifiers as $id) { $options[$id] = ['label' => 'My Label for ' . $id]; } return $options; } protected function searchData(string $searchTerm, NodeInterface $node = null, array $arguments = []) { $options = []; $options['key'] = ['label' => 'My Label ' . $searchTerm]; return $options; } } ``` Development ----------- [](#development) This project works with yarn. The build process given by the neos developers is not very configurable, only the target dir for the buildprocess is adjustable by package.json. ``` nvm install ``` If you don't have [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/) already installed: ``` brew install yarn ``` Build the app: ``` ./dev.sh setup ./dev.sh build ``` Contribute ---------- [](#contribute) You are very welcome to contribute by merge requests, adding issues etc. ### Health Score 43 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance45 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity37 Limited adoption so far Community23 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
