There currently is no documentation on how to write a CMS Slot Widget right? https://documentation.spryker.com/docs/templates-slots-feature-overview#slot-widget So the only chance I have to test this feature is to write a https://github.com/spryker/cms-slot/blob/master/src/Spryker/Client/CmsSlot/Business/CmsSlotDataProvider.php and hope for the best?

    CMS Slot Widget equals {% cms_slot %} Twig tag. Are you talking about content provider for slot widget?

    Yes. The documentation currently states you have Spryker Blocks and CoreMedia. As we already attached sulu.io by a simple Zed API Controller I am thinking about adding a content provider for a widget. If that has any advantage. Currently we write data in CMS Page Placeholders. THe only real downside is that this is a unique contetn and can't do things like target users.

    if yes, you need to implement new plugin \SprykerShop\Yves\ShopCmsSlotExtension\Dependency\Plugin\CmsSlotContentPluginInterface and enable it in \Pyz\Yves\ShopCmsSlot\ShopCmsSlotDependencyProvider::getCmsSlotContentPlugins()

    I asked in the training if this content would be cached by spryker and my latest information is that it will not be cached. But if this is basically a twig function this will end in Redis by the sync and publish Spryker mechanism?

    content provider plugin will get all provided data from {% cms_slot 'slot-key' with {....} %} inside \Generated\Shared\Transfer\CmsSlotContentRequestTransfer and than you can do everything with this data.

    Eg. return html from Redis, return generated text with Js, return data from external API…

    we don’t have any training info how to do it. But Spryker Blocks and CoreMedia are already big examples

    so maybe using Spryker Blocks will be enough for your case.

    No, I believe we then still need to push our content in spryker. Sprykers CMS abilities are so minimal I have no usage for it and the URLs will be provided by sulu as well. So blocks won't be enough.

    Okay thanks 🙂 Now I realize that if those slots are fixed inside of a spryker page this will not work as our content managers will never access Zed.
