Services

• MelisSiteConfigService
  Provides services to retrieve the config for your sites.
  File: /melis-front/src/Service/MelisSiteConfigService.php

  MelisFrontSiteConfigListener used to update the site's config on the regular config service by merging the config from the file and the one on the database.

  • getSiteConfigByKey(key, section = 'sites', language = null)
    This function retrieves a specific config by key.

    Parameter	Type	Description
    key	String	Key of the config.
    pageId	Int	Used determine the site id, name, and language and on where to get the config
    section	String/Int	The section on where to get the config or site Id
    language	String	Language on which to get the config

    To call the service.

    $siteConfigSvc = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisSiteConfigService');
    

    To get a specific key of the current site and the language of the page with id 1

    $siteConfigSvc = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisSiteConfigService');
    
    $config = $siteConfigSvc->getSiteConfigByKey('key', 1);
    

    But what if we wanted to get the key from another language of the current site? We can achieve this by defining the language on where to get the config.

    $siteConfigSvc = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisSiteConfigService');
            
    $config = $siteConfigSvc->getSiteConfigByKey('key', 1,'sites', 'fr');
    // The language of the page is now overridden by the specified language.
    

    We can also get a particular key from another site by using the site Id.

    $siteConfigSvc = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisSiteConfigService');
    
    $config = $siteConfigSvc->getSiteConfigByKey('key', 1, 1);
    // Return all the values of the specified key from all languages from the site with id 1.
    // The expected output is an array of values from different languages
    
    $config = $siteConfigSvc->getSiteConfigByKey('key', 1, 1, 'fr');
    // Return all the values of the specified key for the French language from the site with id 1.
    

    There is also a different section apart from sites. Currently, we have two sections which are sites and allSites.

    $siteConfigSvc = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisSiteConfigService');
    
    $config = $siteConfigSvc->getSiteConfigByKey('key', 1, 'allSites');
    // Returns the key from the allSites section of the config
    // Language for the page is not applied but still used to get the site id and name to map for the config
    

• MelisSiteTranslationService
  Provides services to translate text and list all site translations
  File: /melis-front/src/Service/MelisSiteTranslationService.php

  • getText(translationKey, langId, siteId) .

    Parameter	Type	Description
    translationKey	String	Key of the translation.
    langId	Int	An identifier on which language to get the translation
    siteId	Int	An identifier on which site to get the translation

    To call the service.

    $melisSiteTranslationSvc = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisSiteTranslationService');
    

    To get a particular translation, You need to specify the translation key along with the lang id and site id.

    $test = $melisSiteTranslationService->getText('key', 1, 1);
    // Retrieves the translation for the language id 1 and site id 1.
