layout

Creates, updates, ensures or deletes a layout of Exponential Layouts with its zones and their links to shared layouts.

A step of a YAML migration with type: layout. The class expMigrationStepLayout (kernel/classes/migration/steps/expmigrationsteplayout.php) is registered in settings/migration.ini [StepSettings] StepTypeList[layout].

Modes

mode: is one of create, update, ensure, delete; every step names one.

Keys

KeyTypeModesDefaultWhat it is
identifierstringallrequiredthe identifier of the layout
namestringcreate, update, ensurethe name of the layout
layout_typestringcreate, update, ensurea layout type of explayouts.ini ([LayoutType_<type>]); the zones it defines are added
sharedboolcreate, update, ensurewhether other layouts can take the blocks of its zones (a new layout: false)
zonesmapcreate, update, ensurezone => {} (a zone of its own), { link: "<shared layout>/<zone>" } or { link: none }
publishboolcreate, update, ensuretruetrue: the draft is published; false: the change stays in the draft
missingstring: fail, skipall"fail"what happens when the layout, or Exponential Layouts, is not there: fail (the default) or skip

Besides these, every step takes the keys of the engine: type, mode, if, references, environments, engines and comment (the file format). A key of type identifier names a node, an object or another part of the installation by id, remote id, path or name (identifiers).

Values for references

references: { <name>: <value> } keeps a value of the step's result as ${ref.<name>} for the steps and migrations after it:

ValueWhat it is
layout_idthe id of the published layout (of the draft with publish: false)
identifierits identifier
createdtrue when the step created the layout
changedtrue when the step changed something

Undoing

Some steps of this type undo themselves when their migration is rolled back without down: (the class says which); a migration with any other step of it needs down: or a rollback to its caption.

Caches it touches (cleared after the run): content, template-block.

Example

- type: layout
  mode: ensure
  identifier: landing_page
  name: Landing page
  layout_type: layout_2
  zones:
    main: {}
    header: { link: "header_footer/header" }
  references: { landing: layout_id }
