In this case I have a function that compiles data for a select field in the create modal so I did the following:

public function index($parentModuleId = null)
{
    $response = parent::index($parentModuleId);
    if (!$response instanceof View) {
        return $response;
    }

    return $response->with('...', '...');
}

Makes sense, this looks like a useful pattern!

hello , how can i trigger the media library from a view file ? i tried doing from a .vue file by using an @click directly

openMedia: () => {
      if (window[process.env.VUE_APP_NAME].vm) {
        console.log(window[process.env.VUE_APP_NAME].vm)
        window[process.env.VUE_APP_NAME].vm.openFreeMediaLibrary()
      }
    },

and it works perfectly fine, but when i want to do it from a blade view , i get an error that process is undefined, i tried with window.TWILL.vm it says vm not working

is that even doable what i am trying to do ?

Hey @User, can you share a little more on what you are trying to do? What is your example code that is not working?

sure , so im just trying to trigger media library with a single click of button from a laravel blade file

this is my home page

Oh, are you trying to integrate the media library to a frontend page?

yes

im just doing some tests right now to see if it will work

I don't know if this has been done before 🙂 There was a discussion here on Discord some weeks ago but I don't remember any code being shared.

ok i will see whats have been said on it , thank you

was it here on support ?

or general

thank you very much

Hi how can i mix twill assets? to other folder not to laravel_app/public folder only to /../public_html/assets

Hi @User, this is a configuration on the Laravel side. Maybe this article can help you: https://developerhowto.com/2018/11/12/how-to-change-the-laravel-public-folder/

Afternoon folks, just a quick question about custom blocks and form fields: I have this block:

{{-- @twillBlockCompiled('true') --}}
{{-- @twillBlockComponent('a17-block-currency-input') --}}
{{-- @twillBlockTitle('CurrencyInput') --}}
{{-- @twillBlockIcon('text') --}}
{{-- @twillBlockGroup('app') --}}

<a17-block-currency-input
    name='{{ $name }}'
    label='{{ $label }}'
    in-store='value'
    required
></a17-block-currency-input>

@if (isset($formData))
  @push('vuexStore')
    window['{{ config('twill.js_namespace') }}'].STORE.form.fields.push({
      name: '{{ $name }}',
      value: {{ $formData }}
    });
  @endpush
@endif

which is

[views]/admin/blocks/currency-input.blade.php

, it all works fine but I can't remove the comment group at the top or it breaks, If I uncomment them, they render as plain html. Is that intended?

Hi @User, at a glance, I'm not sure this is configured properly. The

@twillBlockComponent

defines the component name for this template. So for example

blocks/image.blade.php

could use

@twillBlockComponent('a17-block-image')

. Here it looks like you are defining a block that should include itself. Or am I missing something?

Hmm... I'm probably wrong here. Have you tried registering your block through

config/twill.php

?

I think perhaps I'm going about this all wrong, is the term blocks here used to refer to blocks that can be dropped into the field set using

block_editor

or just any block that you might re-use throughout your code. I had missed the definition in

config/twill.php

. I dug through the Build command a bit and found there was some code in place for adding custom components and figured that might be more what I needed.

Yeah, I must admin that there are no great docs for custom Vue components & blocks workflow... definitely could be improved. But perhaps we can figure something out for your problem on the fly.

So, can you describe what you are trying to do, in a very high level way? Are you trying to create a new form field? Or create a custom block for your block editor, that does something special?

I was trying to create a new form field yes. I think I've got everything I need now but I'll give an overview of the steps I took to see if you could recommend any other routes. - Defined a components path in `config/twill.php`:

return [
  ...
  'custom_components_resource_path' => 'js/twill/components',
  ...
];

- Created my vue component in

resources/js/twill/components/CurrencyInput.vue

- Ran

php artisan twill:build

- Created

admin/components/currency-input.blade.php

- Referenced the component in there:

a17-currency-input

That about achieved what I wanted. I also achieved this with the block registration before switching to the above.

I suppose my original query was about the blade directives, i.e.

twillBlockTitle('...')

Which I appear to have been confused to how they work

Very cool! Ok, so in your case, I don't think you need to worry about block registration. You're building a custom component.

Yep, thanks for the help again 👌
