NodeData DataSource for SelectBoxEditors
========================================

[](#nodedata-datasource-for-selectboxeditors)

Select nodes instead of searching via reference editor in Neos CMS.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require tms/select
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Single-select nodetype configuration:

```
'Your.Package:Type':
  properties:
    yourReference:
      type: reference
      ui:
        inspector:
          editor: 'Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/SelectBoxEditor'
          editorOptions:
            dataSourceIdentifier: 'tms-select-nodedata'
            dataSourceDisableCaching: true # see "Data source caching"
            dataSourceAdditionalData:
              nodeTypes: ['Your.Package:TypeThatShouldBeReferenced']
              # Optional parameters
              groupBy: 'Your.Package:GroupType'
              startingPoint: '/start/here/instead/of/rootnode'
              labelPropertyName: 'title'
              setLabelPrefixByNodeContext: true
              previewPropertyName: 'thumbnailImage' # works with Neos 7.2+
```

Multi-select adjustments:

```
'Your.Package:Type':
  properties:
    yourReferences:
      type: references
      ui:
        inspector:
          editorOptions:
            multiple: true # Don't forget to set multiple: true when using type: references
```

### Optional parameters

[](#optional-parameters)

Parameter nameDescription`labelPropertyName`Choose your specific **text property name** - if not set, the nodes label will be used.`groupBy`The grouping must be reflected in the node tree. `groupBy` expects the nodetype name of a parent node.`setLabelPrefixByNodeContext`If set to `true`, labels get prefixed by `[HIDDEN] ...`, `[NOT IN MENUS] ...`, `[NOT LIVE] ...` and `[REMOVED] ...` depending on the node context.`previewPropertyName`Choose your specific **image property name** to display a custom preview icon as mentioned in the [Neos 7.2 release notes](https://www.neos.io/blog/neos-flow-72-released.html#neos-7-1-features).### Data source caching

[](#data-source-caching)

By default, Neos will cache data source results considering the current node. For `Tms.Select` this caching behaviour is not optimal, because

1. Data source results get build too often
2. When a referenced node changes, the data source results are not refreshed while navigating the UI (in fact, only when refreshing the browser)

We fixed this by implementing a data source cache `Tms_Select_DataSourceCache`. To ensure that datasource results are always up to date, you should disable the default data source caching with `dataSourceDisableCaching: true`.

### Works with [Sitegeist.Taxonomy](https://github.com/sitegeist/Sitegeist.Taxonomy)

[](#works-with-sitegeisttaxonomy)

```
'Your.Package:Type':
  properties:
    yourTaxonomyReferences:
      type: references
      ui:
        inspector:
          editor: 'Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/SelectBoxEditor'
          editorOptions:
            allowEmpty: true
            multiple: true
            dataSourceIdentifier: 'tms-select-nodedata'
            dataSourceDisableCaching: true
            dataSourceAdditionalData:
              nodeTypes: [ 'Sitegeist.Taxonomy:Taxonomy' ]
              labelPropertyName: title
              startingPoint: '/taxonomies/your-vocabulary'
```
