decorators#

excludes#

Excludes decorators added by the "common" option from the JSON API clients

client/jsonapi/catalog/decorators/excludes =
  • Type: array - List of decorator names
  • Since: 2017.07

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to remove a decorator added via "client/jsonapi/common/decorators/default" before they are wrapped around the JsonApi client.

 client/jsonapi/decorators/excludes = array( 'decorator1' )

This would remove the decorator named "decorator1" from the list of common decorators ("\Aimeos\Client\JsonApi\Common\Decorator*") added via "client/jsonapi/common/decorators/default" for the JSON API client.

global#

Adds a list of globally available decorators only to the JsonApi client

client/jsonapi/catalog/decorators/global =
  • Type: array - List of decorator names
  • Since: 2017.07

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to wrap global decorators ("\Aimeos\Client\JsonApi\Common\Decorator*") around the JsonApi client.

 client/jsonapi/catalog/decorators/global = array( 'decorator1' )

This would add the decorator named "decorator1" defined by "\Aimeos\Client\JsonApi\Common\Decorator\Decorator1" only to the "catalog" JsonApi client.

local#

Adds a list of local decorators only to the JsonApi client

client/jsonapi/catalog/decorators/local =
  • Type: array - List of decorator names
  • Since: 2017.07

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to wrap local decorators ("\Aimeos\Client\JsonApi\Catalog\Decorator*") around the JsonApi client.

 client/jsonapi/catalog/decorators/local = array( 'decorator2' )

This would add the decorator named "decorator2" defined by "\Aimeos\Client\JsonApi\Catalog\Decorator\Decorator2" only to the "catalog" JsonApi client.

deep#

Load the category tree instead of the nodes of the first level only

client/jsonapi/catalog/deep = 1
  • Default: ``
  • Type: bool - True for category tree, false for first level only
  • Since: 2020.10

If you want to use the catalog filter component to display the whole category tree without loading data in an asynchcron way, set this configuration option to "1" or true.

Warning: If your category tree has a lot of nodes, it will take a very long time to render all categories. Thus, it's only recommended for small category trees with a limited node size (less than 50).

name#

Class name of the used catalog client implementation

client/jsonapi/catalog/name =
  • Type: string - Last part of the class name
  • Since: 2017.03

Each default JSON API client can be replace by an alternative imlementation. To use this implementation, you have to set the last part of the class name as configuration value so the client factory knows which class it has to instantiate.

For example, if the name of the default class is

 \Aimeos\Client\JsonApi\Catalog\Standard

and you want to replace it with your own version named

 \Aimeos\Client\JsonApi\Catalog\Mycatalog

then you have to set the this configuration option:

 client/jsonapi/catalog/name = Mycatalog

The value is the last part of your own class name and it's case sensitive, so take care that the configuration value is exactly named like the last part of the class name.

The allowed characters of the class name are A-Z, a-z and 0-9. No other characters are possible! You should always start the last part of the class name with an upper case character and continue only with lower case characters or numbers. Avoid chamel case names like "MyCatalog"!

template#

Relative path to the catalog lists JSON API template

client/jsonapi/catalog/template = catalog/standard
  • Default: catalog/standard
  • Type: string - Relative path to the template creating the body for the GET method of the JSON API
  • Since: 2017.03

The template file contains the code and processing instructions to generate the result shown in the JSON API body. The configuration string is the path to the template file relative to the templates directory (usually in templates/client/jsonapi).

You can overwrite the template file configuration in extensions and provide alternative templates. These alternative templates should be named like the default one but with the string "default" replaced by an unique name. You may use the name of your project for this. If you've implemented an alternative client class as well, "standard" should be replaced by the name of the new class.
