ezplatform-location-reference

Problem

The common case in the eZ Platform configuration is referencing to some location, usually using Location ID e.g.

• Content root for Site Access (https://doc.ezplatform.com/en/latest/guide/multisite/#location_id)
• Folder used to store Image Assets (https://doc.ezplatform.com/en/latest/api/field_type_reference/#configuration)

This several issues in this approaches:

• Location IDs differ between environments
• Using Magic numbers is a code smell

Solution

This package introduce Domain Specific Language, based on Symfony Expression Language component, allowing to refer locations using meaningful and descriptive expressions. For example:

• Content Tree Root:

root()

• Location by Remote ID

remote_id("babe4a915b1dd5d369e79adb9d6c0c6a")

• Parent of named reference

parent(named("MEDIA"))
