React in SilverStripe 4 Harnessing its power 21st Sept 2018
• Robbie Averill
• Assets • Campaigns • History viewer • Archives •
Small components e.g. TreeDropdownField Where it's used already
• SilverStripe form schema • React 15 and Redux •
GraphQL and Apollo • Reactstrap • SilverStripe's JavaScript Injector What you get
• More of the CMS will be React driven •
Slowly phasing out Entwine • A new paradigm for frontend SilverStripe CMS development Where it's heading
• PHP, SilverStripe and entwine boilerplate • React components •
GraphQL queries • Injector transformations Example: new history viewer component
Injecting the component A PHP FormField with a SilverStripe template
Injecting the component
Injecting the component
Don't forget to unmount! • Prevent React components from continually
mounting into the document by unmounting it
From here on out, it's all React!
A "hello world" component example
Register with Injector
None
Cool man… give me a list!
None
Obviously I wanted some data in the list
Scaffolding a GraphQL query
Test it with GraphiQL
Make query a Higher Order Component • Use the "graphql"
HOC (Higher-Order-Component) from the react-apollo package • cms/client/src/state/history/readOnePageQuery.js
Inject the query into HistoryViewer
Here's your list!
Use the React and Redux dev tools • React dev
tools let you inspect component structures and props • Redux dev tools let you inspect the current state and how reducers change it over time
None
• Base module provides abstract components • It's up to
implementations to define the data queries • Use injector to hook it up • Implemented in the CMS and Elemental modules History Viewer: summary
Roadmap: progress since 4.0
• Content blocks • Improved versioning features • React and
GraphQL extensibility • Unified CMS search interface • Large UX focus Roadmap: progress since 4.0
Content blocks
React history viewer
Archive area
React and GraphQL extensibility
Unified CMS search interface
• SilverStripe 3 supported until Dec 2020 • SilverStripe 4
nears its first anniversary (Nov 2018) • New features built as opt-in SilverStripe 4 modules • More clarity on release expectations Release Management
None
• Mainstream use of APIs to decouple CMS • Focus
on managing digital experiences • Deeper integrations with other SaaS tools Analytics, targeting, campaigns, marketing automation, search, etc • Modernise CMS UI through React+GraphQL • New features into minor 4.x releases Coming up in 2019...
