Sitegeist.Slipstream

Header requirements for presentational fusion

"Quantum slipstream transcends the normal warp barrier by penetrating the quantum barrier with a focused quantum field."

The slipstream package allows to define header requirements with presentational fusion by labeling the required tags with a special attribute. They are later deduplicated and moved to the target position. This allows to define additional the JS and CSS requirements directly with the presentational fusion components.

Usage

You can mark any html fragment to be moved to the head of the document by adding a data-slipstream attribute.

    <script data-slipstream href="yourCustomSCript.js" />
    <div>your component</div>

The slipstream middleware will parse the full page and detect all those tags. The tags are then removed from the original location and are appended to the header. Every tag is added only once so if multiple Components require the same JS only one is added to the header.

By defining the data-slipstream attribute with an xpath the target can be altered.

    <script data-slipstream="//body" href="yourCustomSCript.js" />
    <div>your component</div>

When the setting Sitegeist.Slipstream.debugMode is enabled html comments are rendered to mark where tags were removed and inserted. This is enabled in Development Context by default.

Inner working and performance

The slipstream http middleware will modify all responses with active X-Slipstream: Enabled http header. This header is added to Neos.Neos:Page and Sitegeist.Monocle:Preview.Page already so this will work for neos and monocle right away. For other controllers you will have to add the X-Slipstream: Enabled manually.

Since the response body is parsed and modified this adds a small performance penalty to every reqest. However the package is designed to work together with Flowpack.FullpageCache which will im turn cache the whole result and mitigate the small performance drawback.

Installation

Sitegeist.Slipstream is available via packagist run composer require sitegeist/slipstream.

We use semantic-versioning so every breaking change will increase the major-version number.
