This PR introduces the new ResponsiveLayout, building upon the prototype showcased in POC #3966. The implementation should make it easier to tailor the layout for different media and includes support for both print variants.

If you want to see the responsive layout in action: https://pr4071.ecamp3.ch/camps/3c79b99ab424/GRGR/program/activities/12f34c89ce11

Key Features

  • Implement new ContentNode called ResponsiveLayout
  • Adjust all dev data to new ResponsiveLayout
  • Implement ResponsiveLayout for both print variants
  • Prevent ResponsiveLayout encapsulation
  • Create additional tests for ResponsiveLayout and move generic to RootColumnLayout tests

Closes #3966
Closes #3628

Feature branch deployment currently inactive.

If the PR is still open, you can add the deploy! label to this PR to trigger a feature branch deployment.

Thanks, this looks to be coming along nicely. I'll state again in written form here what I have previously expressed orally:

I get the feeling you don't want to adjust all the camp prototypes and dev data, and adjust both prints, because it's a lot of work and you aren't sure yet the rest of the core team will approve. This is a clear sign for me that this shouldn't (yet) be called default layout. Put another way: If this new feature were clearly the new commonly agreed-upon default, there would be no doubts about changing the camp prototypes, dev data and print logic.

So in the state of this PR right now, I would prefer to call it flexible layout for now, and then maybe if it really turns out to be absurdly useful except in a few edge cases, rename it in the future to default layout or whatever seems fitting then. If we merge a new feature called default in an only partially complete form, we cannot do any releases until this "default feature" has been completed and thoroughly tested.

@carlobeltrame I just saw your comment after I updated the whole dev data (except lorem ipsum camp). 😄

Maybe you misunderstood me. I was (and still am) eager to provide the implementations and will continue this PR until it is ready for review. I've now added an implementation for nuxt that works and working on the vue3 pdf print one.

I think it makes sense to introduce this PR after #4003.

@BacLuc I checked GRGR and it seems there were some missing. Now GRGR & Harry Potter should correctly use the new layout.

…ntent_node endpoints

With the ResponsiveLayout, we now have mostly ContentNodes which are nested by 2 levels:
ColumnLayout -> DefaultLayout -> "Content Nodes with content"
This may lead to n+1 db queries that we experienced in the EndpointQueryCountTest.
This change now allows to define a range for the query count.
This is good enough to keep the performance at the same level.

@ecamp/core
I have 2 proposals to fix the query count test:

  1. ContentNodeRepository: also fetch root and parent of contentNode manuelmeister/ecamp3#4
  2. EndpointQueryCountTest: allow a range for the number of queries on co… manuelmeister/ecamp3#5

If someone has an opinion on how to move forward with the query count test.

the third more invasive solution would be:
3. An Activity/Category has either a ColumnLayout or a ResponsiveLayout as root ContentNode. (i did not try if this even would work)

Context:

With this PR the query count of /content_nodes & /content_node/<entity> is flaky. Sometimes the query count is N+1. This issue probably occurs, because Doctrine wants to ensure the inheritance strategy:

This is the additional query it creates
SELECT
  t0.id AS id_1,
  t0.createTime AS createtime_2,
  t0.updateTime AS updatetime_3,
  t0.data AS data_4,
  t0.slot AS slot_5,
  t0.position AS position_6,
  t0.instanceName AS instancename_7,
  t0.rootId AS rootid_8,
  t0.parentId AS parentid_9,
  t0.contentTypeId AS contenttypeid_10,
  t0.strategy
FROM
  content_node t0
WHERE
  t0.id = ?
  AND t0.strategy IN (
    'contentnode', 'multiselect', 'materialnode',
    'storyboard', 'singletext', 'responsivelayout',
    'columnlayout'
  )

Solutions

ContentNodeRepository: also fetch root and parent of contentNode

Is this solution future proof, or does it only hide the problem for our tests? Because there we left join the parent of the parent, but the ColumnLayout (and future layout nodes) could be infinitely nested.

As I planned to create a FlexLayout, that lets you have the layout behavior as aside-top and aside-bottom (i.e. just a flex row with flex wrap) and the FlexLayout could be used/nested the same as ColumnLayout, this would probably make a performant/reliable solution necessary.

Maybe it would make sense to create a LayoutContentNode base class? And figure out the problem of layout nodes in a separate PR more generally? There we can find out what we need to accommodate future layouts.

EndpointQueryCountTest: allow a range for the number of queries

Allow this flaky behavior and allow query count to be a range.

Decision

I would vote for #5 adjust testing 🚀 and then let us investigate #4 modify QueryBuilder 👀 in a separate PR.

I still have my doubts whether users understand how best to use this layout variant, but a field test can probably provide a better answer than my opinion.

Nevertheless, I would like to share my thoughts:
The ResponsiveLayout is a bigger step away from WYSIWYG than anything before. For me, the following example illustrates this particularly well:
If you insert ContentNodes into a side slot, their rendered size depends on how many ContentNodes are in that slot and on its position within the side slot.
I am curious to see whether our users will be able to cope with this.

Example:
Full width:

Paper width:

You need to merge devel again after #4136

I think it wont be such a big step, as papersize will be the default and then you intentionally toggle to wide size. So you can observe the changes live in the viewport. Maybe we can add the info that a multiple of 2 looks better.
