Layouts

A Layout is a vital part of headless template configuration, which defines the structure for Pimcore editables.

The bundle ships with following standard layout types, which are based on Bootstrap 4 framework. You can also add a custom layout based on bootstrap 4.

                                limit: 2
                            items:
                                image:

                    config:

                    items:
                        wysiwyg:
                            type: wysiwyg

                                height: 200

                                allowed: [ 'teasers', 'gallery', 'video', 'productListing', 'image', 'relations' ]

By default, the simple layout is used, if no layout is defined in the template configuration.

Layout Manager

The Layout Manager is responsible for registering layouts, which are defined as tagged services pimcore.headless.documents.layout in compiler pass. It also validates and renders the current layout on the headless document, defined in template configuration.

The Layout Manager is based on concept of states for template rendering. These states are:

• LayoutState: A LayoutState is a panel container, which holds the pimcore editables.
• EditableState: An EditableState is a building block, which holds the rendered editable code block.

These states are passed onto to the layout template file as a parameter, which handles the actual rendering of these states.
