Simple Neos Menu to list 4 recent news in a Menu (require EEL sort opertation)

gistfile1.txt

# Solution 1

# Based on the default TypoScript2 Menu implementation

recentNewsMenu = TYPO3.TypoScript:Menu {
	templatePath = 'resource://Your.Package/Private/Templates/NodeTypes/Menu.html'
 	filter = 'Your.Package:News'
 	items.@process.sort = ${q(value).count() > 0 ? q(value).sort('publishedDate', 'DESC').get() : value}
	items.@process.slice = ${q(value).count() > 0 ? q(value).slice(0, 4).get() : value}
}

# Solution 2

# A custom EEL opertation can help basic user
# The custom EEL operation can be generic (handle any document type) and accept a node property (sorting) and the number of article

recentNewsMenu = TYPO3.TypoScript:Menu {
	templatePath = 'resource://Your.Package/Private/Templates/NodeTypes/Menu.html'
 	filter = 'Your.Package:News'
 	items.@process.recentDocument = ${q(value).recentDocument('publishedDate', 3).get()}
}

# Solution 3

# The same menu but based on ElasticSearch for the Query (if the current project has a huge number of documents)

recentNewsMenu = TYPO3.TypoScript:Menu {
	templatePath = 'resource://Your.Package/Private/Templates/NodeTypes/Menu.html'
 	items = ${Search.query(site).nodeType('Your.Package:News').sortDesc('publishedDate').limit(4).execute()}
}

# Solution 4

# If menu with recent document list is common in the project, the configuration can be simplified and generic, this kind of TS2 prototype can be stored in a central package and shared between project

prototype(Your.Package:RecentDocumentMenu) < prototype(TYPO3.TypoScript:Menu) {
	templatePath = 'resource://Your.Package/Private/Templates/NodeTypes/Menu.html'
	sortingPropertyName = 'publishedDate'
 	items.@process.recentDocument = ${q(value).recentDocument(this.sortingPropertyName, 3).get()}
}

recentNewsMenu = Your.Package:RecentDocumentMenu {
 	filter = 'Your.Package:News'
}

recentProductMenu = Your.Package:RecentDocumentMenu {
 	filter = 'Your.Package:Product'
 	sortingPropertyName = 'lastUpdate'
}

# Solution 1 with cache configuration

# You can clear the cache of this specific component, by configuring the cache segment
# So when a docuement of type Your.Package:News is created / edited, the cache segment will be deleted (not the full page, just this componenent)

recentNewsMenu = TYPO3.TypoScript:Menu {
	templatePath = 'resource://Your.Package/Private/Templates/NodeTypes/Menu.html'
 	filter = 'Your.Package:News'
 	items.@process.sort = ${q(value).count() > 0 ? q(value).sort('publishedDate', 'DESC').get() : value}
	items.@process.slice = ${q(value).count() > 0 ? q(value).slice(0, 4).get() : value}
	@cache {
		entryTags {
			1 = 'NodeType_Your.Package:News'
		}
	}
}

Un développeur peut créer des nouvelles opération EEL ou des prototypes TS2, alors que l'intégrateur se concentre sur le développement des composants de présentation du contenu.
