Migrate netlify-cms-www site into this repo (#860)
* Add frontmatter to docs files (prep to move) * Move docs into position for website migration * Migrate website from netlify-cms-www Some modifications, including most of the changes in https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms-www/pull/58 (previously reverted). Also updated the readme and added hugo-bin for quicker onboarding of new docs contributors. * Remove netlify.toml This allows separate build commands for cms-demo and netlifycms.org. * Remove website/netlify.toml May re-add later, but it's not doing anything for now. * Remove unused content file

# Extending With Widgets
|
||||
|
||||
The NetlifyCMS exposes an `window.CMS` global object that you can use to register custom widgets, previews, and editor plugins. The available widget extension methods are:
|
||||
|
||||
* **registerWidget:** lets you register a custom widget.
|
||||
* **registerEditorComponent:** lets you add a block component to the Markdown editor.
|
||||
|
||||
### Writing React Components inline
|
||||
|
||||
The `registerWidget` requires you to provide a React component. If you have a build process in place for your project, it is possible to integrate with this build process.
|
||||
|
||||
However, although possible, it may be cumbersome or even impractical to add a React build phase. For this reason, NetlifyCMS exposes two constructs globally to allow you to create components inline: ‘createClass’ and ‘h’ (alias for React.createElement).
|
||||
|
||||
## `registerWidget`
|
||||
|
||||
Register a custom widget.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
CMS.registerWidget(name, control, \[preview\])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Params:**
|
||||
|
||||
Param | Type | Description
|
||||
--- | --- | ---
|
||||
`name` | string | Widget name, allows this widget to be used via the field `widget` property in config
|
||||
`control` | React.Component \| string | <ul><li>React component that renders the control, receives the following props: <ul><li>**value:** Current field value</li><li>**onChange:** Callback function to update the field value</li></ul></li><li>Name of a registered widget whose control should be used (includes built in widgets).</li></ul>
|
||||
[`preview`] | React.Component, optional | Renders the widget preview, receives the following props: <ul><li>**value:** Current preview value</li><li>**field:** Immutable map of current field configuration</li><li>**metadata:** Immutable map of any available metadata for the current field</li><li>**getAsset:** Function for retrieving an asset url for image/file fields</li><li>**entry:** Immutable Map of all entry data</li><li>**fieldsMetaData:** Immutable map of metadata from all fields.</li></ul>
|
||||
* **field:** The field type that this widget will be used for.
|
||||
* **control:** A React component that renders the editing interface for this field. Two props will be passed:
|
||||
* **value:** The current value for this field.
|
||||
* **onChange:** Callback function to update the field value.
|
||||
* **preview (optional):** A React component that renders the preview of how the content will look. A `value` prop will be passed to this component.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<script src="https://unpkg.com/netlify-cms@^0.7.0/dist/cms.js"></script>
|
||||
<script>
|
||||
var CategoriesControl = createClass({
|
||||
handleChange: function(e) {
|
||||
this.props.onChange(e.target.value.split(',').map((e) => e.trim()));
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
render: function() {
|
||||
var value = this.props.value;
|
||||
return h('input', { type: 'text', value: value ? value.join(', ') : '', onChange: this.handleChange });
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
var CategoriesPreview = createClass({
|
||||
render: function() {
|
||||
return h('ul', {},
|
||||
this.props.value.map(function(val, index) {
|
||||
return h('li', {key: index}, val);
|
||||
})
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
CMS.registerWidget('categories', CategoriesControl, CategoriesPreview);
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## `registerEditorComponent`
|
||||
|
||||
Register a block level component for the Markdown editor:
|
||||
|
||||
CMS.registerEditorComponent(definition)
|
||||
|
||||
**Params**
|
||||
|
||||
* **definition:** The component definition; must specify: id, label, fields, patterns, fromBlock, toBlock, toPreview
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<script src="https://unpkg.com/netlify-cms@^0.7.0/dist/cms.js"></script>
|
||||
<script>
|
||||
CMS.registerEditorComponent({
|
||||
// Internal id of the component
|
||||
id: "youtube",
|
||||
// Visible label
|
||||
label: "Youtube",
|
||||
// Fields the user need to fill out when adding an instance of the component
|
||||
fields: [{name: 'id', label: 'Youtube Video ID', widget: 'string'}],
|
||||
// Pattern to identify a block as being an instance of this component
|
||||
pattern: /youtube (\S+)\s/,
|
||||
// Function to extract data elements from the regexp match
|
||||
fromBlock: function(match) {
|
||||
return {
|
||||
id: match[1]
|
||||
};
|
||||
},
|
||||
// Function to create a text block from an instance of this component
|
||||
toBlock: function(obj) {
|
||||
return 'youtube ' + obj.id;
|
||||
},
|
||||
// Preview output for this component. Can either be a string or a React component
|
||||
// (component gives better render performance)
|
||||
toPreview: function(obj) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
'<img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/' + obj.id + '/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="Youtube Video"/>'
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:**
|
||||
