cuneiform-cmpt

A wrapper for the save and render functions of a Cuneiform component. This is used for a set of NyMag components that display data from the published-articles index and which have content descriptors, which are properties that editors use to define what articles should populate them.

The save function automaticallys sets cuneiformQuery, cuneiformPinned, and cuneiformScopes based on the component's content descriptors.

The render function simply converts array content descriptors to and from a format compatible with Kiln.

Usage

You can simply invoke either of these functions in the equivalent functions of the component that is using them:

module.exports.save = (ref, data, locals) => {
    cuneiformCmpt.save(ref, data, locals);
    // ...
    return data;
}

module.exports.render = (ref, data, locals) => {
    cuneiformCmpt.render(ref, data, locals);
    // ...
    return data;
});
