add

Adds the given items to the current context. The operation accepts one argument that may be an Array, a FlowQuery or an Object.

Implementation

Neos\Eel\FlowQuery\Operations\AddOperation

Priority

1

Final

No

Returns

void

cacheLifetime

“cacheLifetime” operation working on ContentRepository nodes. Will get the minimum of all allowed cache lifetimes for the nodes in the current FlowQuery context. This means it will evaluate to the nearest future value of the hiddenBeforeDateTime or hiddenAfterDateTime properties of all nodes in the context. If none are set or all values are in the past it will evaluate to NULL.

To include already hidden nodes (with a hiddenBeforeDateTime value in the future) in the result, also invisible nodes have to be included in the context. This can be achieved using the “context” operation before fetching child nodes.

Example:

q(node).context({‘invisibleContentShown’: true}).children().cacheLifetime()

Implementation

Neos\ContentRepository\Eel\FlowQueryOperations\CacheLifetimeOperation

Priority

1

Final

Yes

Returns

integer The cache lifetime in seconds or NULL if either no content collection was given or no child node had a “hiddenBeforeDateTime” or “hiddenAfterDateTime” property set

children

“children” operation working on generic objects. It iterates over all context elements and returns the values of the properties given in the filter expression that has to be specified as argument or in a following filter operation.

Implementation

Neos\Eel\FlowQuery\Operations\Object\ChildrenOperation

Priority

1

Final

No

Returns

void

children

“children” operation working on ContentRepository nodes. It iterates over all context elements and returns all child nodes or only those matching the filter expression specified as optional argument.

Implementation

Neos\ContentRepository\Eel\FlowQueryOperations\ChildrenOperation

Priority

100

Final

No

Returns

void

closest

“closest” operation working on ContentRepository nodes. For each node in the context, get the first node that matches the selector by testing the node itself and traversing up through its ancestors.

Implementation

Neos\ContentRepository\Eel\FlowQueryOperations\ClosestOperation

Priority

100

Final

No

Returns

void

context

“context” operation working on ContentRepository nodes. Modifies the ContentRepository Context of each node in the current FlowQuery context by the given properties and returns the same nodes by identifier if they can be accessed in the new Context (otherwise they will be skipped).

Example:

q(node).context({‘invisibleContentShown’: true}).children()

Implementation

Neos\ContentRepository\Eel\FlowQueryOperations\ContextOperation

Priority

1

Final

No

Returns

void

count

Count the number of elements in the context.

If arguments are given, these are used to filter the elements before counting.

Implementation

Neos\Eel\FlowQuery\Operations\CountOperation

Priority

1

Final

Yes

Returns

void|integer with the number of elements

filter

Filter operation, limiting the set of objects. The filter expression is expected as string argument and used to reduce the context to matching elements by checking each value against the filter.

A filter expression is written in Fizzle, a grammar inspired by CSS selectors. It has the form “[” [<value>] <operator> <operand> “]” and supports the following operators:

=

Strict equality of value and operand

!=

Strict inequality of value and operand

<

Value is less than operand

<=

Value is less than or equal to operand

>

Value is greater than operand

>=

Value is greater than or equal to operand

$=

Value ends with operand (string-based) or value’s last element is equal to operand (array-based)

^=

Value starts with operand (string-based) or value’s first element is equal to operand (array-based)

*=

Value contains operand (string-based) or value contains an element that is equal to operand (array based)

instanceof

Checks if the value is an instance of the operand

!instanceof

Checks if the value is not an instance of the operand

For the latter the behavior is as follows: if the operand is one of the strings object, array, int(eger), float, double, bool(ean) or string the value is checked for being of the specified type. For any other strings the value is used as classname with the PHP instanceof operation to check if the value matches.

Final

No

Returns

void

filter

This filter implementation contains specific behavior for use on ContentRepository nodes. It will not evaluate any elements that are not instances of the NodeInterface.

The implementation changes the behavior of the instanceof operator to work on node types instead of PHP object types, so that:

[instanceof Neos.NodeTypes:Page]

will in fact use isOfType() on the NodeType of context elements to filter. This filter allow also to filter the current context by a given node. Anything else remains unchanged.

Implementation

Neos\ContentRepository\Eel\FlowQueryOperations\FilterOperation

Priority

100

Final

No

Returns

void

find

“find” operation working on ContentRepository nodes. This operation allows for retrieval of nodes specified by a path, identifier or node type (recursive).

Example (node name):

q(node).find(‘main’)

Example (relative path):

q(node).find(‘main/text1’)

Example (absolute path):

q(node).find(‘/sites/my-site/home’)

Example (identifier):

q(node).find(‘#30e893c1-caef-0ca5-b53d-e5699bb8e506’)

Example (node type):

q(node).find(‘[instanceof Neos.NodeTypes:Text]’)

Example (multiple node types):

q(node).find(‘[instanceof Neos.NodeTypes:Text],[instanceof Neos.NodeTypes:Image]’)

Example (node type with filter):

q(node).find(‘[instanceof Neos.NodeTypes:Text][text*=”Neos”]’)

Implementation

Neos\ContentRepository\Eel\FlowQueryOperations\FindOperation

Priority

Final

No

Returns

void

first

Get the first element inside the context.

Implementation

Neos\Eel\FlowQuery\Operations\FirstOperation

Priority

1

Final

No

Returns

void

get

Get a (non-wrapped) element from the context.

If FlowQuery is used, the result is always another FlowQuery. In case you need to pass a FlowQuery result (and lazy evaluation does not work out) you can use get() to unwrap the result from the “FlowQuery envelope”.

If no arguments are given, the full context is returned. Otherwise the value contained in the context at the index given as argument is returned. If no such index exists, NULL is returned.

Priority

1

Final

Yes

Returns
