eZ FieldType generator

Status

This is a proof-of-concept/prototype. It generates a Type and a Value class, as well as a fieldtypes.yml that registers the fieldtype, but the class name, namespace, etc are still wrong., _(*1)

Installation

Since the package isn't registered on packagist yet, you need to add a VCS entry to \ composer.json`:, _(*2)

Require the ezobject/wrapperbundle package into your composer.json file :, _(*3)

{
    "repositories": [
        { "type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/bdunogier/ez-fieldtype-generator-bundle.git" }
    ],
    "require": {
        "bdunogier": "dev-master"
    }
}

Add BDEzFieldTypeGeneratorBundle to EzPublishKernel.php:, _(*4)

$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new BD\EzFieldTypeGeneratorBundle\BDEzFieldTypeGeneratorBundle(),
);

Usage

php ezpublish/console generate:ez:fieldtype

When asked for the name of the bundle, use an existing bundle. If you don't have one for it, generate one using generate:bundle first., _(*5)

The script will then ask for the fieldtype's name, that is really the fieldtype's identifier., _(*6)

Confirm generation, and the files will be written to the bundle:, _(*7)

$ php app/console generate:ez:fieldtype
