Description

Currently the resolution of a view class and the respective (fluid) template happens really early in the MVC dispatching and is not extensible from the "outside".
The actual view & template shold only be resolved while rendering the action, so one can intervene in the action.
Besides view options (e.g. template/layout/widget root paths, view class name, ...) should be overridable via YAML.

Following steps are required:

  • View::canRender() should not be called in ActionController::resolveView() (also remove it from API!)
  • remove “NotFoundView”, instead the View should throw an exception while rendering (see #40888)
  • documentation! (also include a section on how to use the template of a different action)

Views.yaml ( can be easily added through: https://review.typo3.org/#/c/11982/ ):


# Change the template root path for all packages!
-
  options:
    templateRootPaths: ['resource://My.App/Private/Templates']

# Add layout lookup path for all actions of the "Foo" controller in "Some.Package" 
-
  requestFilter: 'isPackage("Some.Package") && isController("Foo")'
  options:
    layoutRootPaths: ['resource://Other.Package/Private/Layouts', 'resource://Some.Package/Private/Layouts']

# Use a custom view for all actions of "Some.Package" if the requested format is "json" 
-
  requestFilter: 'isPackage("Some.Package") && isFormat("json")'
  viewObjectName: 'Other\Package\View\CustomView'

Note: The previous configuration format we envisioned was something like:

My:
  Package:
    viewClassName: TemplateView / TypoScriptView
    options:
      templateRootPath: resources://Other.Package/...
      layoutRootPath: ...
    controllers:
      'List':
        options:
           # ...
       widget:
         'TYPO3\TypoScript\ViewHelpers\Widget\Paginate':
           templateRootPath: ...

        actions:
          'some':
            #...

[BUGFIX] Throw ViewNotFoundException if view could not be resolved

This improves the resolving of views by removing the canRender()
checks from ActionController::resolveView as discussed in #42176.

Besides this skips the creation of the obsolete NotFoundView in favor
of throwing a ViewNotFoundException.

This also adds overdue unit tests for the ActionController.

[TASK] Remove API annotation from View::canRender()

With #40888 View::canRender() is no longer called from within
ActionController::resolveView().
As the framework no longer relies on that method to exist the
@api annotation is removed.

Besides this marks EmptyView deprecated.

[FEATURE] Allow view configuration via Views.yaml

This patch adds a new Configuration called ``Views.yaml``
to set/override various settings for Views, just
like the template path to use or controller options.

Example ``Views.yaml``::

-
      requestFilter: 'isPackage("My.Package")'
      viewClassName: 'TYPO3\TypoScript\View\TypoScriptView'
      options:
        typoScriptPathPattern: 'resource://My.Package/Private/TypoScripts'

Change I7596f6fc7f8349f3c43d05e6b5916b7946d412d5 in
Fluid takes care about this with rearranging the TemplateView.

Additionally this change introduces a dependency to TYPO3.Eel.

#3 Updated by Marc Neuhaus over 7 years ago

I've created a basic WIP implementation and pushed it to gerrit.
So far it only works for ActionController, not Widgets, i've been thinking about how to
configure Widgets and got the idea, that we should use the SubRequests Namespaces here
to make it as flexible and understandable as possible:

My:
  Package:
    controllers:
      MyController:
        actions:
          someAction:
            subrequests:
              widgetNamespace:
                Some:
                  Package:
                    controllers:
                      SomeWidgetController:
                        actions:
                          first:
                            options: ...

What i don' really like, is that this become quite long and verbose :/

#14 Updated by Bastian Waidelich about 7 years ago

Hi Marc,

I've started adjusting your patch to the current version and tweaking the configuration format (attached you'll find a simplified YAML schema for it):

My:
  Package:
    viewClassName: 'My\Custom\View' # all views that are rendered in package "My.Package" 
    controllers:
      'My\Package\Controller\FooController':
        viewClassName: 'My\Custom\View' # all views that are rendered in FooController of package "My.Package" 
        actions:
          'index':
            viewClassName: 'My\Custom\View' # all views that are rendered in indexAction of FooController of package "My.Package" 
    subRequests:
      viewClassName: 'My\Custom\View' # all views that are rendered in sub requests of package "My.Package" 
      controllers:
        'Other\Package\Controller\BarController':
          viewClassName: 'My\Custom\View' # all views that are rendered in BarController of package "Other.Package" and are sub requests within "My.Package" 
          actions:
            'index':
              viewClassName: 'TYPO3\Fluid\View\TemplateView' # all views that are rendered in indexAction of BarController of package "Other.Package" and are sub requests within "My.Package"

In order to make this really flexible though, the subRequests key need to be allowed under "PackageKey", "controller" and "action" recursively.
This leads to a very "expensive" check for each request, especially in nested requests.
For a simple widget requests (calling "SubPackage.SubController.SubAction" in a parent request "RootPackage.RootController.RootAction") those 12 paths would need to be checked and merged:

<RootPackage>.controllers.<RootController>.actions.<RootAction>.subRequests.controllers.<SubController>.actions.<SubAction>
<RootPackage>.controllers.<RootController>.actions.<RootAction>.subRequests.controllers.<SubController>
<RootPackage>.controllers.<RootController>.actions.<RootAction>.subRequests
<RootPackage>.controllers.<RootController>.subRequests.controllers.<SubController>.actions.<SubAction>
<RootPackage>.controllers.<RootController>.subRequests.controllers.<SubController>
<RootPackage>.controllers.<RootController>.subRequests
<RootPackage>.subRequests.controllers.<SubController>.actions.<Sub1Action>
<RootPackage>.subRequests.controllers.<SubController>
<RootPackage>.subRequests
<SubPackage>.controllers.<SubController>.actions.<SubAction>
<SubPackage>.controllers.<SubController>
<SubPackage>

for more nesting levels (e.g. widget within plugin within neos page) the number of checks increases exponentially.

The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that we need some kind of pattern syntax here, similar to the Policy.yaml pointcut expressions. It's all about matching a certain request based on package, controller & action and possibly its parent request(s).

The question is: how can we make this deterministic, easy to comprehend and especially easy to override?

Update for devs watching this issue:
We decided to go for a DSL (domain specific language) – probably based on TYPO3 Eel – for the configuration format in order to reduce the amount of configuration to write while increasing the flexibility massively. More details asap, stay tuned

We (Bastian, Sebastian and Me) just had a little Hangout about the Syntax we're going to use:

General Syntax:

-
  options: 
     layoutRootPath: ‘foo/bar’
     ...
  requestFilter: ‘...’

Available filters:

- isPackage()  1
- isController() 10
- isAction() 100
- isFormat() 1000
- mainRequest() 10000
- parentRequest() 100000

isPackage() || isPackage() => 1
isPackage() && parentRequest.isPackage() => 100001

→ Score wird NUR hochgezählt, wenn einzelner Key zutrifft! → bei OR werden nur die matchenden Teile gezählt.
→ aufsteigend sortieren.

Use cases:

Use case 1: “Change the layout of a package (in Flow)”

-
  options:
     layoutRootPath: ‘foo/bar’
  requestFilter: ‘’isPackage(‘Some.Package”) && isFormat(‘html’)”

Use case 2: “Add TypoScriptPaths to an TypoScriptView (e.g. Expose)”

-
  options: 
     layoutRootPath: ‘foo/bar’
  requestFilter: ‘’isPackage(‘TYPO3.Expose”)”

Use case 3: “Change the layout of a package only in a sub request (in Neos)”
-
  options: 
     layoutRootPath: ‘foo/bar’
  requestFilter: ‘’isPackage(‘Some.Package”) && isFormat(‘html’) && mainRequest.isPackage(‘TYPO3.Neos’)”
