Using containers in the template

Following the tutorial above, we have learned about the plugin providing the data for our template. Now, you will learn how to use containers in template plugins.

Container entry point

The entry point of a container is defined in the plugin.json file of a plugin.

Ceres/plugin.json
"containers"        :
    [
        {
            "key"           : "Homepage.Certified",
            "name"          : "Homepage: Certified container",
            "description"   : "Add an icon to the certified by container on the homepage",
            "multiple"      : false
        }
    ]
Explanation

The containers key stores an array of values that consist of a key, a name and a description representing our containers. The content provided by our data provider, the Placeholder plugin, is linked to the container in this template plugin.

key specifies the container. name and description are texts for the plentymarkets back end.

multiple is an optional property that defines whether multiple data providers can provide content for this container. Set it to false if you want to display the content of the first data provider only.

Container macro

The content to be displayed in a container is processed by the show() function in a macro. This macro is stored in the LayoutContainer.twig file. With the help of this macro, you can also access objects in layout containers, e.g. the item object in the SingleItemView.twig template.

Ceres/resources/views/PageDesign/Macros/LayoutContainer.twig
{% macro show( containerName, object ) %}
    {% if object == null %}
        {% for content in container(containerName) %}
            {{ content.result|raw }}
        {% endfor %}
    {% else %}
        {% for content in container(containerName, object) %}
            {{ content.result|raw }}
        {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}
{% endmacro %}

Container in the template

Our Certified by container is integrated into the template of plentyShop LTS using the following code.

Ceres/resources/views/PageDesign/Partials/Footer.twig
{% import "Ceres::PageDesign.Macros.LayoutContainer" as LayoutContainer %}

...

{% set certifiedContent = LayoutContainer.show("Ceres::Homepage.Certified") %}
{% if certifiedContent|trim is not empty %}
    <div class="services-certificate m-b-1">
        <strong class="services-title">{{ trans("Ceres::Template.generalCertifiedBy") }}</strong>
        {{ certifiedContent }}
    </div>
{% endif %}
Explanation

A Twig function sets the variable certifiedContent. The variable is equal to the content of the Homepage.Certified container defined in the plugin.json file.

The title of the container is displayed using the {{ trans("Ceres::Template.generalCertifiedBy") }} variable. The text for this variable is stored in the Template.properties file.

The {{ certifiedContent }} variable is used to display the content provided by our Placeholder plugin below the title.

Objects in containers

By using the LayoutContainer.twig macro, we can access objects in layout containers. We specify the object as a parameter in the container and can make use of all the information of the current object.

Ceres/resources/views/Item/SingleItem.twig
{{ LayoutContainer.show("Ceres::SingleItem.BeforePrice", item.documents[0].data) }}
{% if ('item.recommendedPrice' in itemData or 'all' in itemData) %}
    <div class="crossprice" v-resource-if:currentVariation="documents[0].data.calculatedPrices.rrp.price > 0">
        <del class="text-muted small" v-resource-bind:currentVariation="documents.0.data.calculatedPrices.rrp.price" :filters="['currency']">
            {#{{ item.data.salesPrices[1].price | formatMonetary(item.variationRetailPrice.currency) }} TODO get correct currency#}
            {{ item.documents[0].data.calculatedPrices.rrp.price | formatMonetary(item.documents[0].data.calculatedPrices.rrp.currency) }}
        </del>
    </div>
{% endif %}
Explanation

Here, we specify the item object as the second parameter of our layout container. This allows us to use the information saved in the object for further processing, e.g. for calculating the instalments of certain payment methods.

In addition to the Item object, other objects can be used in different layout containers. The Order object, for example, can be used in several containers on the order confirmation page.
Ceres/resources/views/Checkout/Components/OrderDetails.twig
{{ LayoutContainer.show("Ceres::OrderConfirmation.AdditionalPaymentInformation", services.customer.getLatestOrder().order) }}

Here, we specify the order object as the second parameter of our layout container. This allows us to use the information about the latest order saved in the object for further processing.

Additional tabs in the single item view

In order to add your own information in an additional tab in the single item view, you can use two containers. The first container SingleItem.AddDetailTabs is used for displaying one or multiple additional tabs in the view of an item in the plentyShop LTS online store. The second container SingleItem.AddDetailTabsContent displays your content within the first container. For each container, an individual data provider is required.

MyPlugin/resources/views/CustomTab.twig
<li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" data-toggle="tab" href="#my-custom-tab" role="tab">Custom Tab</a>
</li>

Our tab is a li element with the class nav-item. If more tabs are required, further list items can be added here. In the href attribute, we provide a link to our tab content.

MyPlugin/resources/views/CustomTabContent.twig
<div class="tab-pane" id="my-custom-tab" role="tabpanel">
    <div class="m-y-2">
        Enter Custom Tab content here...
    </div>
</div>

In a second Twig file, we enter the content for our tab. Our container has the same ID, that is referenced in the previous code example, e.g. id="my-custom-tab".
