Contains JavaScript utilities to use Crafter CMS' in-context editing in your apps and sites
Note: All methods of this package work with Content Instance as data structure they understand (the model param). Use in conjunction with parseDescriptor
and preParseSearchResults
from @craftercms/content
to obtain such data structure.
All of Crafter CMS packages can be used either via npm or in plain html/javascript via regular script imports.
yarn add @craftercms/ice
ornpm install @craftercms/ice
import
orrequire
the functions you wish.
- Download the bundle and import them in your page.
- The bundles declare a global variable named
craftercms
. You can access all craftercms' packages and functions under this root. - The
ice
package depends on rxjs, make sure to import rxjs too before theice
script.
Tip: Once you've imported the scripts, type craftercms
on your browser's dev tools console to inspect the package(s)
<div id="myFeature"></div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/rxjs"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@craftercms/utils"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@craftercms/classes"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@craftercms/content"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@craftercms/ice"></script>
<script>
(function ({ content, ice }, { operators }) {
content.getItem(
'/site/website/index.xml',
{ baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8080', site: 'editorial' }
).pipe(
operators.map(content.parseDescriptor)
).subscribe((model) => {
const attrs = ice.getICEAttributes({ model, parentModelId: '/site/website/index.xml' });
const elem = document.querySelector('#myFeature');
Object.entries(attrs).forEach(([attr, value]) => {
elem.setAttribute(attr, value);
});
Object.entries(model).forEach(([fieldId, value]) => {
if (fieldId !== 'craftercms') {
const el = document.createElement('div');
el.innerText = `${fieldId}: ${value}`;
elem.appendChild(el);
}
});
});
})(craftercms, rxjs);
</script>
The examples below assume usage in the style of using via npm. If you're using the bundles,
directly importing as a script in the browser, these functions will be under the global variable
named craftercms.ice
(i.e. window.craftercms.ice
).
Interrogates the current origin server to determine if the site/app is running in Crafter CMS authoring environment (Preview). Positive reply (true
) means is authoring; assume you need to add pencils and import other authoring tools. False means is delivery and all authoring tools should be disabled.
import { fetchIsAuthoring } from '@craftercms/ice';
fetchIsAuthoring().then((isAuthoring) => {
console.log(`You're currently in ${isAuthoring ? 'authoring' : 'delivery'}.`);
});
Use this function to obtain the attributes that you need to add to your HTML element(s) to put pencils for In Context Editing.
import { from, forkJoin } from 'rxjs';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { getICEAttributes, fetchIsAuthoring, repaintPencils } from '@craftercms/ice';
import { getItem, parseDescriptor } from '@craftercms/content';
forkJoin({
isAuthoring: from(fetchIsAuthoring()),
model: getItem('/site/website/index.xml', { site: 'editorial' }).pipe(map(parseDescriptor))
}).subscribe(({ isAuthoring, model }) => {
const page = document.querySelector('#main');
if (page) {
const homepageEditPencil = getICEAttributes({ model, isAuthoring });
Object.entries(homepageEditPencil).forEach(([attr, value]) => {
page.setAttribute(attr, value);
});
repaintPencils();
}
});
Use this function to obtain the attributes that you need to add to your HTML element(s) to mark them as an item selector drop zone.
import { from, forkJoin } from 'rxjs';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { getICEAttributes, getDropZoneAttributes, fetchIsAuthoring, repaintPencils } from '@craftercms/ice';
import { getItem, parseDescriptor } from '@craftercms/content';
forkJoin({
isAuthoring: from(fetchIsAuthoring()),
model: getItem('/site/website/index.xml', { site: 'editorial' }).pipe(map(parseDescriptor))
}).subscribe(({ isAuthoring, model }) => {
const features = document.querySelector('.features');
if (features) {
const homepageFeaturesDropZone = getDropZoneAttributes({ model, isAuthoring, zoneName: 'features_o' });
Object.entries(homepageFeaturesDropZone).forEach(([attr, value]) => {
features.setAttribute(attr, value);
});
const items = features.querySelectorAll('article');
items.forEach((item) => {
const pencil = getICEAttributes({ model, isAuthoring });
Object.entries(pencil).forEach(([attr, value]) => {
item.setAttribute(attr, value);
});
});
repaintPencils();
}
});
Use this method to include the necessary scripts to enable Crafter CMS authoring support (i.e. pencils, drag & drop, etc.) on your site/app. This function does not check whether you're in authoring or delivery. You should check that prior to invoking.
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { isAuthoring } from '../utils';
import { addAuthoringSupport } from '@craftercms/ice';
function App() {
useEffect(() => {
if (isAuthoring()) {
// This is a react example but you may use addAuthoringSupport outside of react
addAuthoringSupport().then(() => {
// Feel free to discard the promise if you don't need
console.log('Authoring tools have loaded and are ready to use.');
});
}
}, []);
return (
{/* ... */}
);
}
Re-renders all pencils
import { repaintPencils } from '@craftercms/ice';
new Carousel({
element: '#myElement',
// ...other settings
onSlideChange: () => {
// Update pencils so current slide pencil is visible and prev slide is gone.
repaintPencils();
}
});
Report up to Crafter Studio that navigation has occurred.
Useful primarily for SPAs when there's no page reload, but the page context changes.
import { reportNavigation } from '@craftercms/ice';
function DynamicRoute(props) {
const { match, location } = props;
let url = match.path.includes(':')
? match.path.substring(0, match.path.indexOf(':') -1)
: match.url;
useEffect(() => {
reportNavigation(url);
}, [url]);
return (
...
);
}
React bindings for pencils and drop zones. Requires React 16.8.0 or above (hooks release). Not available for class components, use the plain methods described above part of this same package.
Use this function to obtain the attributes that you need to add to your HTML element(s) to put pencils for In Context Editing.
Make sure to use the parseDescriptor function from @craftercms/content
as that's the structure these hooks understand.
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { from, forkJoin } from 'rxjs';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { fetchIsAuthoring } from '@craftercms/ice';
import { useICE } from '@craftercms/ice/react';
import { getItem, parseDescriptor } from '@craftercms/content';
function App() {
const [state, setState] = useState();
useEffect(() => {
forkJoin({
isAuthoring: from(fetchIsAuthoring()),
model: getItem('/site/website/index.xml', { site: 'editorial' }).pipe(map(parseDescriptor))
}).subscribe(({ isAuthoring, model }) => {
setState({ isAuthoring, model });
});
}, []);
return (
state ? <HomePage /> : 'Loading...'
);
}
function HomePage(props) {
const { isAuthoring, model } = props;
const { props: pencil } = useICE({ isAuthoring, model });
return (
<div {...pencil}>
{/* ... */}
</div>
);
}
