Overview

SSCounter is simple sprinkle of React and Redux to a normal implementation of TextField. This is an exercise about learning and creating a SilverStripe 4.x module with React and Redux on top of it. Improvements will be based on the Author's progress with the said technologies. Feel free to learn from it but don't use it as a single source of truth. :)

Installation

$ composer require marczhermo/sscounter

You'll also need to run vendor/bin/sake dev/build.

Concepts

  1. Like TextField which we can create as many as we like. SSCounterField will behave similar to it by making small React components which are independent of each other, and will manage its own local state for the value.
  2. Implement Redux to tap into the Frameworks's global state for storing information of all small components created. Probably tap into "Redux Time Travel".

Todos

  1. Unit testing React components with Jest
  2. More refactoring from peer review.
  3. GraphQL maybe, REST for the meantime.

Documentation

So this is an implementaion of TextField, and to illustrate the idea. We will create a simple Data Object called SampleCounter

File: mysite/code/Model/SampleCounter.php

<?php
use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;
use SilverStripe\Forms\TextField;

class SampleCounter extends DataObject
{
    private static $db = [
        'Name'           => 'Varchar',
        'InfoCounter'    => 'Int',
        'SuccessCounter' => 'Int',
        'WarningCounter' => 'Int',
        'DangerCounter'  => 'Int',
        'HappyCounter'   => 'Int',
        'SadCounter'     => 'Int',
    ];

    public function getCMSFields()
    {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

        $fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.Main', [
            TextField::create('InfoCounter', 'Info Count', 0)->addExtraClass('sscounter-info'),
            TextField::create('SuccessCounter', 'Success Count', 1)->addExtraClass('sscounter-success'),
            TextField::create('WarningCounter', 'Warning Count', 2)->addExtraClass('sscounter-warning'),
            TextField::create('DangerCounter', 'Danger Count', 3)->addExtraClass('sscounter-danger')
        ]);

        $fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.HappySad', [
            TextField::create('HappyCounter', 'Happy Count', 4)->addExtraClass('sscounter-happy'),
            TextField::create('SadCounter', 'Sad Count', 5)->addExtraClass('sscounter-sad')
        ]);

        return $fields;
    }
}

And then we will need a ModelAdmin in order to create some records.

File: mysite/code/Comntrollers/AdminCounter.php

<?php
use SilverStripe\Admin\ModelAdmin;

class AdminCounter extends ModelAdmin
{
    private static $managed_models = [
        'SampleCounter',
    ];

    private static $url_segment = 'counters';

    private static $menu_title = 'Counters';
}

Pretty much so far this is very straight forward. We now can reload the page with ?flush Below is the screenshot of a single record we can create and edit.

TextField Version

Now, all we need to do is change TextField into SSCounterField to the Data Object file. Don't forget to update the use statement above to reference the namespace. The edited file should like below:

<?php
use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;
use Marcz\SSCounter\SSCounterField;

class SampleCounter extends DataObject
{
    private static $db = [
        'Name'           => 'Varchar',
        'InfoCounter'    => 'Int',
        'SuccessCounter' => 'Int',
        'WarningCounter' => 'Int',
        'DangerCounter'  => 'Int',
        'HappyCounter'   => 'Int',
        'SadCounter'     => 'Int',
    ];

    public function getCMSFields()
    {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

        $fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.Main', [
            SSCounterField::create('InfoCounter', 'Info Count', 0)->addExtraClass('sscounter-info'),
            SSCounterField::create('SuccessCounter', 'Success Count', 1)->addExtraClass('sscounter-success'),
            SSCounterField::create('WarningCounter', 'Warning Count', 2)->addExtraClass('sscounter-warning'),
            SSCounterField::create('DangerCounter', 'Danger Count', 3)->addExtraClass('sscounter-danger')
        ]);

        $fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.HappySad', [
            SSCounterField::create('HappyCounter', 'Happy Count', 4)->addExtraClass('sscounter-happy'),
            SSCounterField::create('SadCounter', 'Sad Count', 5)->addExtraClass('sscounter-sad')
        ]);

        return $fields;
    }
}

And hopefully, with any luck we should see the following screenshot when whe refreshed the page. Fingers crossed. SSCounterField Version
