PrototypeTemplate class

The @magnolia/cli-prototype-template package simplifies creation process of components and pages for @magnolia/cli-create-component and @magnolia/cli-create-page.

Overview

Every prototype should be provided within a separate package which extends the PrototypeTemplate class to use predefined class parameters and methods.

getProgram()

Returns program with predefined options.

PrototypeTemplate

PrototypeTemplate arguments

pathToPrototype (abstract property): This property must be explicitly defined by subclasses, pointing to the location of their prototypes, e.g.: this.pathToPrototype = path.join(__dirname, 'resources', options.prototype);
prototypesRequirements (abstract property): This property must be explicitly defined by subclasses, e.g.: this.prototypesRequirements = {"headless": true, "availableTypes": ["js", "jsx", "tsx"], "defaultType": "tsx"}
templateData: A set of key-value pairs used by Handlebars. The default properties included in this object are:
- name: This value is derived from the <name> parameter provided by the user.
- exportName: This is also derived from the <name> parameter, mirroring the name property.
- lightModuleName: This value is determined based on the directory of the light module, which is specified by the -lp or --lmPath option.
- dialog: This property combines the lightModuleName and name values in the format ${lightModuleName}:${options.context}/${name}.
- magnoliaHost: Points to http://localhost:8080
preparedComponent: Processed prototype files
options: Options passed from user
args: Arguments modifying behaviour

PrototypeTemplate methods

async start(): Promise

starts the create component process
stop(): void

Throws error to stop the process.
async loadExternalMethods(): Promise

Checks for config.js file in prototype folder. If found:
- merges this.args.prototypeTemplateOptions with object from getPrototypeTemplateOption function from config.js
- merges this.templateData with object from getTemplateData function from config.js
- passes super().function to all exposed functions in config.js
async prototypeTemplateArgs(): Promise

Prepares arguments and:
- merges this.args.prototypeTemplateOptions with object passed by -ta, --templateArgs
- merges this.templateData with object passed by -td, --templateData

async prepareComponentFromPrototype(prototypeTemplatePath: string, componentDestinationPath: string, type: string): Promise

Prepares files from prototype and passed them with handlebars to this.preparedComponent, each file has the following structure:

// 'spa' for file from spa folder, or 'lm' for file from spa folder
type: string; 
// unprocessed source file path, e.g.: /PATH/TO/RESORCES/SPA/_default/spa/js/{{name}}.js.hbs
srcPath: string;
// unprocessed destination file path, e.g.: /PATH/TO/PROJECT/COMPONENTS/{{name}}.js.hbs
destPath: string;
// processed destination file path, e.g.: /PATH/TO/PROJECT/COMPONENTS/newComponent.js
hbDestPath: string;
// unprocessed file content, e.g.:
// import React from 'react';
// const {{name}} = props => <h2>{props.text}</h2>;
// export default {{exportName}};
content: string;
// processed file content, e.g.:
// import React from 'react';
// const newComponent = props => <h2>{props.text}</h2>;
// export default newComponent;
hbContent: string;

async preventDuplicateComponentCreation(): Promise

Cycles throw this.preparedComponent and if any hbDestPath exists it stops the component creation
async createComponent(): Promise

Cycles throw this.preparedComponent, and creates every hbDestPath with content from hbContent.
async handleComponentMapping(): Promise

In case of headless frameworks, calls following three functions.
async buildComponentMappingString(): Promise

Sets this.args.componentMapping to "${this.templateData.dialog}": ${this.templateData.exportName}
async buildImportString(): Promise

Sets this.args.import to import ${exportComponentName} from '${importSource}'\n
async writeComponentMapping(): Promise

Adds this.args.import and this.args.componentMapping to the file containing componentsMapping object.

config.js file in prototype

It is possible to create config.js file in each prototype. This file allows to pass custom this.args.prototypeTemplateOptions object and this.templateData by creating those two functions:

prototypeTemplateOptions, e.g.

export function getPrototypeTemplateOption() {
  // Sets `importSource` to `{{name}}.${this.options.type}.hbs` to determine which path should be used in components mapping file
  // Overrides default value of `removeExtension` to true, to remove externsion from importString in components mapping file
  return {
    "headlessConfig": {
      "importSource": `{{name}}.${this.options.type}.hbs`,
      "removeExtension": true
    }
  }
}

getTemplateData, e.g.:

function kebabize(str) {
  return str.split('').map((letter, idx) => {
    return letter.toUpperCase() === letter
      ? `${idx !== 0 ? '-' : ''}${letter.toLowerCase()}`
      : letter;
  }).join('');
}

export function getTemplateData() {
  // Add "selector" with coresponding value to be used with Handlebars
  return {
    "selector": kebabize(this.templateData.name)
  }
}

It is also possible to override all PrototypeTemplate methods to modify the behaviour of component creation, except start, and stop method, e.g.:

Override createComponent to add other file after a component is created:

// WARNING: requires node v18 and higher to use native fetch function
import path from "path";
import * as fs from "fs";
import { pipeline } from 'stream/promises';

export async function createComponent(superCreateComponent) {
    // Call original createComponent from PrototypeTemplate class
    superCreateComponent();
    // Download random image from unsplash.com and add it images folder
    try {
        const url = `https://source.unsplash.com/random/200x200`;
        const response = await fetch(url);
        if (!response.ok) {
            console.error(`Failed to fetch image: ${response.statusText}`);
            return
        }
        const folderPath = path.join(this.options.spaPath, 'images')
        if (!fs.existsSync(folderPath)) {
            fs.mkdirSync(folderPath, {recursive: true});
        }
        const filePath = path.join(folderPath, `${this.templateData.name}.png`);
        const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream(filePath);
        await pipeline(response.body, fileStream);
        console.log(`Image successfully downloaded to: ${filePath}`);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error downloading random image:', error);
    }
}

NOTE: The "importSource" parameter in the getPrototypeTemplateOption function is essential for specifying which file should be used as the import source in the components mapping file. This specification is crucial because the complex prototype includes multiple files within the spa folder.
