| Description |
|
Transformers have been removed with the new usage of Magnolia 6 UI Framework and have been replaced by Item Providers. Transformers were used in the past to both read and write to nodes and create interactive dialogs where logic was used to create and edit nodes and properties based off of user input in dialog fields. Item Providers are currently only meant to read. There is no clear explanation as to how to achieve these more complex interactive fields using Item Providers. Example
There is no other information as to how to write. Users who would write to nodes with transformers are now out in the dark without knowing how to replace their older functionality. Two main points
Additional notes Item providers are a little more complex and introduce the property “entrySolution” which is something that is not explained either. Users get confused as to how to use the new classes that have replaced transformers. |
