Widgets

Available Properties in a Widget Template

Inside the Widget Partial there is one essential Variable available called {property}. This Variable Provides the following values:

property.adapter

Classname of the current Adapter

property.widget

Name of the Widget

property.value

Unprocessed value of the Property, this might be almost anything depending on the Data in the Object. Handle this with care, because it might cause Rendering errors. In most cases you should simply use the {property.string} option to get an String representation of the Value.

property.infotext

Informational Text for the Property

property.label

Label for the Property

property.string

String representation for the property’s value

property.inputName

Appropriate name for an input including the proppert prefix (item[propertyname])

property.type

DataType of the property

property.name

Name of the Property

Replace the default Widget for a specific datatype

Widgets are assigned to datatypes by a fallback system configured in Settings.yaml:

Doctrine:
    Widgets:
        Mapping:
            string:   Textfield
            readonly:   TextfieldReadonly
            integer:  Spinner
            float:    Textfield
            boolean:  Boolean
            \TYPO3\FLOW3\Resource\Resource: Upload
            \DateTime: DateTime
            ^\[A-Za-z]+\Domain\Model\[A-Za-z]+: SingleRelation
            ^\[A-Za-z]+\Security\[A-Za-z]+: SingleRelation
            ^\Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection\<\*\[A-Za-z]+\Domain\Model\[A-za-z]+>: MultipleRelation
            ^\Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection\<\*\[A-Za-z]+\Security\[A-za-z]+>: MultipleRelation

On The Left side you have your Classes or Names of the DataTypes and on the Right Side is the repsonsible Widget to use. You can override any of these Widgets in your Production/Development Settings.yaml. Aside from Classes or DataType Names you can specify an Regular Expression to Match more Complex things, like in this Case Entity Models.
