Overview

Note:

Please do not use BasicObj directly as it is intended as an abstract class. Always use Obj or a subclass of Obj.

The abstract base class for CMS objects.

A CMS object is a collection of properties and their values, as defined by its object class. These properties can be accessed in views, either directly as the object itself is rendered, or indirectly when other objects are rendered. The description of an image, for example, can be retrieved from within any view that requires it, e.g. a page on which the image is displayed.

.attribute(name, type, options = {}) ⇒ Object Originally defined in module AttributeContent::ClassMethods

Defines an attribute.

For the purpose of persisting model data in the CMS, the attributes of the model need to be defined. When defining an attribute, you specify the name under which Scrivito should persist its value as well as the type of content it is meant to contain, and, for the enum and multienum types, the selectable values.

Attributes are inherited. If, for example, the Page model defines a title attribute of the string type, the SpecialPage model, which inherits from Page, is also equipped with title. Inherited attributes can be overridden, i.e. you may redefine title in SpecialPage if you want its type to be html, for example.

Examples:

Defining attributes:

class Page < ::Obj
  attribute :my_string, :string
  attribute 'my_html', 'my_html'
  attribute :my_enum, :enum, values: %w[a b c], default: 'a'
  attribute :my_multienum, :multienum
end

Page.attribute_definitions
#=> #<Scrivito::AttributeDefinitionCollection>

Page.attribute_definitions[:my_string]
#=> #<Scrivito::AttributeDefinition>

Page.attribute_definitions[:my_string].type
#=> "string"

Page.attribute_definitions[:my_html].type
#=> "html"

Page.attribute_definitions[:my_enum].type
#=> "enum"
Page.attribute_definitions[:my_enum].values
#=> ["a", "b", "c"]

Page.attribute_definitions[:my_multienum].type
#=> "multienum"
Page.attribute_definitions[:my_multienum].values
#=> []

Inheriting attributes:

class Page < ::Obj
  attribute :title, :string
end

class SpecialPage < Page
end

SpecialPage.attribute_definitions[:title].type
#=> "string"

Overriding inherited attributes:

class Page < ::Obj
  attribute :title, :string
end

class SpecialPage < Page
  attribute :title, :html
end

Page.attribute_definitions[:title].type
#=> "string"

SpecialPage.attribute_definitions[:title].type
#=> "html"

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol, String)

    name of the attribute.

  • type (Symbol, String)

    type of the attribute. Scrivito supports the following types: string, stringlist, html, enum, multienum, widgetlist, reference, referencelist, link, linklist, and binary.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    definition options.

Options Hash (options):

  • :values (Symbol, String)

    selectable values for enum and multienum attributes. If no values are provided for attributes of these types, the resulting array of selectable values is empty.

  • :default (Symbol, String)

    custom default value. See DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES for factory defaults. See #default_for for more advanced defaults.

Returns:

  • nil

Raises:

See Also:

.attribute_definitionsScrivito::AttributeDefinitionCollection Originally defined in module AttributeContent::ClassMethods

Returns the attribute definitions.

.create(attributes = {}, context = {}) ⇒ Obj

Create a new Obj in the CMS.

This allows you to set the different attributes of an Obj by providing a hash containing the attribute names as keys and the corresponding values you want to set. The defaults set via Obj.default_for are taken into account.

Examples:

Provide reference lists as an Array of Obj.

Obj.create(:reference_list => [other_obj])

Passing an Obj allows you to set a reference.

Obj.create(:reference => other_obj)

You can upload files by passing a Ruby File object.

Obj.create(:blob => File.new("image.png"))

A link list can be set as an Array of Links.

Obj.create(:link_list => [
  # external link
  Link.new(:url => "http://www.example.com", :title => "Example"),
  # internal link
  Link.new(:obj => other_obj, :title => "Other Obj")
])

Passing a Link allows you to set a link.

Obj.create(
  external_link: Link.new(url: 'http://www.example.com', title: 'Example'),
  internal_link: Link.new(obj: other_obj, title: 'Other Obj')
)

Date attributes accept Time, Date and their subclasses (DateTime, for example).

Obj.create(:date => Time.new)
Obj.create(:date => Date.now)

String, html and enum attributes can be set by passing a String value.

Obj.create(:title => "My Title")

Multienum attributes can be set using an Array of Strings.

Obj.create(:tags => ["ruby", "rails"])

Simply pass an Array of Widgets to populate a widget field. See Widget#copy on how to copy a widget.

# Add new widgets
Obj.create(:widgets => [Widget.new(_obj_class: 'TitleWidget', title: 'My Title')])

# Add a copy of a widget
Obj.create(:widgets => [another_obj.widgets.first.copy])

# Change a widget field
obj.update(:widgets => [obj.widgets.first])

# Clear a widget field
obj.update(:widgets => [])

Parameters:

  • attributes (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    of the new obj

  • context (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    in which the object is created

Options Hash (context):

Returns:

  • (Obj)

    the newly created Obj

.default_for(attribute_name, &block) ⇒ Object Originally defined in module AttributeContent::ClassMethods

Sets the default value of an attribute.

If Obj.create or Widget.new are called without providing a value for a specific custom attribute, the block is called, and its return value is used as the initial value of this attribute.

The block is called with two parameters.

The first parameter is an ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess containing the attributes that were passed to Obj.create or Widget.new.

The second parameter is a Hash containing the context that was handed over to Obj.create or Widget.new. If the current visitor is a User, this user can be accessed by means of the :scrivito_user key contained in the provided context.

Examples:

Setting a simple default:

class MyPage < Obj
  attribute :title, :string
  default_for(:title) { 'Spam' }
end

my_page = MyPage.create
my_page.title # => 'Spam'

A default depending on the given attributes:

class MyPage < Obj
  attribute :title, :string

  default_for :title do |attributes|
    if (path = attributes[:_path]) && path.starts_with('/de')
      'Hier den Titel eingeben'
    else
      'Your title here'
    end
  end
end

my_page = MyPage.create(_path: '/en/test')
my_page.title # => 'Your title here'

my_page = MyPage.create(_path: '/de/test')
my_page.title # => 'Hier den Titel eingeben'

A more complex default, depending on the given attributes and the current user:

class MyPage < Obj
  attribute :title, :string

  default_for :title do |attributes, context|
    if use_german_title?(context[:scrivito_user], attributes[:_path])
      'Hier den Titel eingeben'
    else
      'Your title here'
    end
  end

  private

  #
  # Assuming there is a +MyUser+ model equipped with a +preferences+ method which
  # returns the preferences of the current user.
  # The +email+ of a +MyUser+ is the +id+ of the corresponding +Scrivito::User+ as set in
  # +Scrivito::Configuration.editing_auth+.
  #
  def use_german_title?(scrivito_user, path)
    scrivito_user && MyUser.find_by(email: scrivito_user.id).preferences[:locale] == 'de' ||
      path && path.starts_with?('/de')
  end
end

alice = Scrivito::User.define('[email protected]')
alice.preferences[:locale] # => 'en'

my_page = MyPage.create({_path: '/de/test'}, alice)

.valid_page_classes_beneath(parent_path) ⇒ NilClass, Array<Class>

Hook method that lets you control which page classes are made available for pages with the given path. Override it to allow only specific classes or none at all. Must return either NilClass, or Array.

Be aware that the given argument is a parent path. E.g., when creating a page whose path is /products/shoes, the argument must be /products. The given parent path can also be NilClass.

If NilClass is returned, all page classes are made available. By default, NilClass is returned.

If an Array is returned, it is expected to contain the available classes. The order of the classes is preserved.

Parameters:

Returns an ObjSearchEnumerator with the given initial subquery consisting of the four arguments.

Note that field and value can also be arrays for searching several fields or searching for several values.

subclass.

ObjSearchEnumerators can be chained using one of the chainable methods (e.g. ObjSearchEnumerator#and and ObjSearchEnumerator#and_not).

Examples:

Look for objects containing “Lorem”, boosting headline matches:

Obj.where(:*, :contains, 'Lorem', headline: 2).to_a

Look for the first 10 objects whose object class is “Pressrelease” and whose title contains “quarterly”:

Obj.where(:_obj_class, :equals, 'Pressrelease').and(:title, :contains, 'quarterly').take(10)

Look for all objects whose class is “Item”. The path should start with a defined location. Furthermore, select only items of a particular category:

Obj.where(:_obj_class, :equals, 'Item').and(:_path, :starts_with, '/en/items/').select do |item|
  item.categories.include?(category)
end

#update(attributes) ⇒ Object

Update the Obj using the attributes provided.

For an overview of the values you can set via this method, see the documentation of Obj.create.

Additionally, update accepts a _widget_pool hash in attributes to modify widgets. The keys of _widget_pool are widget instances, the values are the modified attributes of these particular widgets.

Examples:

Update the URL of a link:

link = obj.my_link
link.url = "http://www.example.com"
obj.update(my_link: link)

Update binary attributes:

obj.update(blob: img_obj.binary)
obj.update(thumbnail: File.new("/path/to/small.jpg"))

Remove the first and the last widget from a widget field:

obj.update(
  my_widget_field: obj[:my_widget_field][1..-2]
)

Move the widget_to_move widget from the left widget field of the two_column_widget1 widget to left of two_column_widget2:

obj.update(
  _widget_pool: {
    two_column_widget1 => {left: two_column_widget1.left - [widget_to_move]},
    two_column_widget2 => {left: two_column_widget2.left + [widget_to_move]}
  },
  headline: "Some widgets were moved!"
)

Move the widget_to_move widget from the right widget field of the two_column_widget1 widget to the top-level main_content widget field:

obj.update(
  main_content: @obj.main_content + [widget_to_move],
  _widget_pool: {
    two_column_widget1 => {
      right: two_column_widget1.right - [widget_to_move]
    }
  }
)

If an Array is returned, it is expected to include the permitted classes. Their order is preserved as they are offered to the user via the widget browser.

Parameters:

  • field_name (String)

    Name of the widget attribute.

Returns:

  • (nil, Array<Class>)
