GridFieldItemType
=================

[](#gridfielditemtype)

Adds type/class picking functionality to SilverStripe 4's GridField.

Maintainer Contact
------------------

[](#maintainer-contact)

- Ed Chipman ([UndefinedOffset](https://github.com/UndefinedOffset))

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe ~4.5|~5.0|~6.0

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

[](#installation)

- Download the module from here
- Extract the downloaded archive into your site root so that the destination folder is called GridFieldItemType, opening the extracted folder should contain \_config.php in the root along with other files/folders
- Run dev/build?flush=all to regenerate the manifest
- Upon entering the cms and using GridFieldItemType components for the first time you make need to add ?flush=all to the end of the address to force the templates to regenerate

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

If you are working with one of the pre-configured GridFieldConfigs you must first remove the default GridFieldDetailForm and GridFieldAddNewButton components replacing them with ItemTypeDetailForm and AddNewItemTypeButton respectively

```
use WebbuildersGroup\GridField\ItemType\AddNewItemTypeButton;
use SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridFieldConfig_RecordEditor;

$config = GridFieldConfig_RecordEditor::create(10);
    ->removeComponentsByType(GridFieldAddNewButton::class)
    ->removeComponentsByType(GridFieldDetailForm::class)
    ->addComponent(new AddNewItemTypeButton($yourOptionsMap, 'buttons-before-left', 'empty string', 'default'))
    ->addComponent(new ItemTypeDetailForm());
```

If you are using the base GridField config you need to add both the AddNewItemTypeButton and ItemTypeDetailForm to your config

```
use WebbuildersGroup\GridField\ItemType\AddNewItemTypeButton;
use SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridFieldConfig_RecordEditor;

$config=GridFieldConfig_Base::create(10);
$config->addComponent(new AddNewItemTypeButton($yourOptionsMap, 'buttons-before-left'));
$config->addComponent(new ItemTypeDetailForm());
```

If you are managing a versioned object you must override the item request class using:

```
use WebbuildersGroup\GridField\ItemType\VersionedItemTypeDetailForm_ItemRequest;

$detailForm->setItemRequestClass(VersionedItemTypeDetailForm_ItemRequest::class);
```

Note: All options in the type dropdown must be decendents of the model class.
