Message codes
WebCmsModule allows you to customize the labels and messages shown with your custom component types in the administration UI. The initial prefix of component type message codes is webCmsComponents.yourComponentType.
In case of a container component, every member can have its labels customized, the prefix for an individual member is webCmsComponents.yourComponentType.members.memberName. After the prefix, the same codes can be specified as with a regular component type.
Default message codes
Default component type admin has 4 possible sections (tabs in the UI):
-
content: contains the custom rendered view elements (eg. for a text-field type)
-
members: contains the member management in case of a container or fixed-container type
-
metadata: contains the metadata form, the form generated for the metadata type
-
settings: contains the general component information like name and title
Every section supports the following keys:
-
[description]: description text rendered on top of the section (before the controls)
-
[additionalDescription]: description text rendered at the bottom of the section (after the controls)
The metadata section represents the custom metadata type registered. As such all EntityModule message codes are available to customize the generated form.
Examples of actual message codes resolved would be:
-
webCmsComponents.myComponentType.content[description] -
webCmsComponents.myComponentType.members[additionalDescription] -
webCmsComponents.myComponentType.members.body.metadata[description] -
webCmsComponents.myComponentType.members.body.metadata.properties.title
Specific message codes
Specific message codes are available depending on the context or the component type.
-
[placholder]: this key is available on the content section for any component type extending
WebCmsTextComponentModel
