SemExpert_StoreInfoBlocks

SemExpert_StoreInfoBlocks enables developers to include Magento blocks in their themes that have access to Store Configuration like address, phone number, etc.

Build Status

Getting Started

To get started you only need to add the module to an existing Magento2 installation.

Prerequisites

You need a running copy of Magento2

Also, in order for composer to locate the module repository, you need to have set up SemExpert repository:

composer config repositories.semexpert composer https://packages.semexpert.com.ar/

Install

To get StoreInfoBlocks up and running, you need to add it as a dependency to your Magento composer.json file

composer require semexpert/module-store-info-blocks

Or add it manually to your composer.json

{
  "require": {
    "semexpert/module-store-info-blocks": "*"
  }
}

After installing, you need to enable via the Magento CLI

php bin/magento module:enable SemExpert_StoreInfoBlocks

Running tests

This module provides only unit tests that can be hooked into Magento testsuite in the standard way

php bin/magento dev:tests:run unit

In order to run this module's tests exclusively you can use the provided dev/phpunit.xml configuration file.

vendor/bin/phpunit -c vendor/semexpert/moodule-store-info-blocks/dev/phpunit.xml

I found no need for integration or functional tests as of yet. And also I am unsure about how to write those.

Coding Styles

The module follows Magento 2.2 PHP and Less coding standards. You should test your code using the provided black/white lists and phpunit.xml configuration.

cp ./dev/tests/static/phpunit.xml dev/tests/static/phpunit.xml
cp ./dev/tests/static/less/whitelist/common.txt dev/tests/static/testsuite/Magento/Test/Less/_files/whitelist/common.txt
cp ./dev/tests/static/php/whitelist/common.txt dev/tests/static/testsuite/Magento/Test/Php/_files/whitelist/common.txt

Magento 2

Components

The module provides 2 types of blocks

  • SemExpert\StoreInfoBlocks\Block\Template Provides a stadard Template block with access to store configuration information
  • SemExpert\StoreInfoBlocks\Block\Value Allow to output a single configuration value without formatting. Requires some setup via layout xml

These blocks are available for use in your custom themes but are not automatically included anywhere on the site.

Usage

Template

By simply calling the Template block in a layout, the provided storeinfo.phtml template will be used which is provided only as an example

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="header.panel">
            <block class="SemExpert\StoreInfoBlocks\Block\Template" name="header.storeinfo" />
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

or you can provide your own template. Within the template, you can access a DataObject containing the store information by calling $block->getStoreInformation()

default.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="header.panel">
            <block class="SemExpert\StoreInfoBlocks\Block\Template" name="header.storeinfo" 
                   template="storeinfo-modal-window.phtml" />
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

storeinfo-modal-window.phtml

<?php $storeInfo = $block->getStoreInformation(); ?>
<div class="call-us">
    <strong>Call Us at:</strong> <?= $storeInfo->getData('phone') ?> <?= $storeInfo->getData('hours') ?>
</div>

Available data keys are:

  • name
  • phone
  • hours
  • street_line1
  • street_line2
  • city
  • postcode
  • region_id
  • region
  • country_id
  • country
  • vat_number

Value

You can set up a value block via layout XML to retrieve a single unformatted value

contact_index_index.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="contactForm">
            <block class="SemExpert\StoreInfoBlocks\Block\Value" name="storephone">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="key" type="xsi:string">phone</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

app/design/SemExpert/CustomTheme/Magento_Contact/templates/form.phtml

<form>
    <!-- ... -->
</form>

<p>
    Or call us at <a href=tel:<?= $block->getChildHtml('storephone') ?>"><?= $block->getChildHtml('storephone') ?></a>
</p>

Check the description for Template block for a list of accepted values for the key argument.
