AGENDA 1. jQuery 2. Module Loading 3. AJAX API 4.
Events 5. Notification API 6. Modals 7. Icons 8. Web Components
JQUERY
JQUERY ▪ Solved cross-browser issues ▪ Fast and easy development
▪ De-facto standard
JQUERY ▪ Browsers have stable APIs now ▪ Phasing out
jQuery ▪ ~50 modules left
JQUERY UI
JQUERY | JQUERY UI ▪ Huge library for rich user
interfaces ▪ TYPO3 used draggable / resizable only ▪ Top-level wrappers for low-level "API" ▪ Combination of click* / mouse* events
JQUERY | JQUERY UI ▪ Browsers have real APIs now
▪ Unused since TYPO3 v12.4.2 ▪ Removed in upcoming TYPO3 v13.0
MODULE LOADING
REQUIREJS
MODULE LOADING | REQUIREJS ▪ Foundation for separated modules ▪
Dependency handling ▪ Introduced in TYPO3 v7
None
LAST UPDATE IN 2020
MODULE LOADING | REQUIREJS ▪ Deprecated in TYPO3 v12 ▪
Removed in TYPO3 v13
ECMASCRIPT MODULES
MODULE LOADING | ECMASCRIPT MODULES ▪ Supported in all major
browsers ▪ No 3rd party dependency necessary
None
None
IMPORT MAPS
MODULE LOADING | ECMASCRIPT MODULES ▪ JSON object ▪ Maps
an identifier to a file or directory ▪ A real Highlander: there can be only one!
None
None
None
🤫
MODULE LOADING | ECMASCRIPT MODULES ▪ With import maps, identifier
paths can be defined ▪ Each extension can bring their own definition
None
MODULE LOADING | ECMASCRIPT MODULES ▪ With clever use, any
module can get overridden ▪ Same compatibility rules of XCLASSes apply ▪ Any update may break your override without prior notice
AJAX API
AJAX API ▪ Introduced in TYPO3 v10 ▪ Based on
fetch() API
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API
None
None
None
None
None
EVENTS
EVENTS ▪ TYPO3 got its own event handling API in
v10 ▪ One step further in phasing out jQuery ▪ Binding and delegation supported
EVENTS ▪ Binding: Listener for one specific node ▪ Delegation:
Listener is bound to a top node and listens to child nodes
None
None
REGULAR EVENTS
EVENTS | REGULAR EVENTS ▪ Most basic event API ▪
Wrapper for .addEventListener()
None
DEBOUNCED EVENTS
EVENTS | DEBOUNCED EVENTS ▪ Waits a defined interval (250ms
by default) before running the event listener after the last invocation ▪ Useful for heavy tasks, e.g. AJAX requests based on a search field value
None
THROTTLED EVENTS
EVENTS | THROTTLED EVENTS ▪ Runs event handler and waits
a to-be-defined interval before next execution ▪ Useful for handling that can be paused in between for performance reasons (e.g. scrolling)
None
NOTIFICATION API
NOTIFICATION API ▪ Fly-out messages informing the user about state
changes ▪ Optionally interactive
NOTIFICATION API ▪ notice(...) ▪ info(...) ▪ success(...) ▪ warning(...)
▪ danger(...)
Excerpt of notification types
NOTIFICATION API ▪ title: string ▪ message?: string ▪ duration?:
number = 5 // 0 if error ▪ actions?: Array<Action>
None
Bare minimum notification
INTERACTIVE
NOTIFICATION API ▪ Enrich notifications with actions ▪ Action must
be in context of the notification ▪ Execution must be optional ▪ Not more than three actions
NOTIFICATION API ▪ label: string ▪ action: DeferredAction|ImmediateAction
None
None
None
It's Christmas time soon!
DISPATCH NOTIFICATIONS VIA PHP
NOTIFICATION API ▪ Since TYPO3 v12, notifications can be dispatched
via PHP ▪ No support for interactions ▪ Useful e.g. in DataHandler hooks ▪ Specialized FlashMessage queue identifier ▪ Ready-to-use in ModuleTemplate API
None
MODALS
MODALS ▪ User interface blocking windows ▪ Require user interaction
MODALS ▪ confirm(...) ▪ advanced(...) ▪ show(...) ▪ loadUrl(...)
"CONFIRM" MODALS
MODALS | CONFIRM ▪ Most simple modal implementation ▪ Requires
title and content only ▪ Default severity is warning ▪ Provides "Cancel" and "OK" buttons by default
None
Confirmation modal
"ADVANCED" MODALS
MODALS | ADVANCED ▪ Gives the full capabilities of the
modal API ▪ Complex configuration
None
None
None
ICONS
ICONS ▪ TYPO3 provides a unified icon set ▪ Extensions
may provide additional icons ▪ Several APIs to access and render icons
ICONS ▪ default: 1em ▪ small: 16px ▪ medium: 32px
▪ large: 48px ▪ mega: 64px
None
ICONS ▪ Fluid ViewHelper ▪ JavaScript Module ▪ Web Component
None
None
None
None
ICONS ▪ The icon web component internally uses the JS
API ▪ Icons are requested via AJAX ▪ The markup is kept in local storage until the next TYPO3 or extension update
WEB COMPONENTS
WEB COMPONENTS ▪ Based on Lit ▪ Closest to the
Web Components Standard ▪ Reactive web components ▪ Easy templating ▪ Easy event handling
WARNING! TYPESCRIPT AHEAD!
WEB COMPONENTS ▪ Example: https://github.com/TYPO3/typo3/blob/ main/Build/Sources/TypeScript/backend/element /editable-page-title.ts
WEB COMPONENTS ▪ Lit needs decorators ▪ True power comes
with compilers (Babel, TypeScript, ...) ▪ Shadow DOM is barely usable due to Bootstrap CSS
