programme-cms-field

SilverStripe CMS field for picking a programme from the online.op.ac.nz GraphQL API.

Renders an accessible search-as-you-type combobox in the CMS. Results are proxied through a SilverStripe controller so the API endpoint is never exposed to the browser directly.

Requirements

• SilverStripe CMS 5 or 6
• OP_APPLICATIONS_GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT environment variable pointing at the GraphQL API

Installation

composer require otago/programme-cms-field

Usage

Add the field to any DataObject that has an integer ProgrammeID column:

use Otago\ProgrammeCmsField\Forms\ProgrammePickerField;

public function getCMSFields(): FieldList
{
    $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
    $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', ProgrammePickerField::create('ProgrammeID'));
    return $fields;
}

The hidden input and JS/CSS requirements are managed automatically.
