Pageflow 12 compatability

[tilsammans]

12.0.0.pre is not compatible with Pageflow 12.

I need to figure out how to mesh with ReactDOM over there.

@tf I have an idea how to get this working again!

How about page contents get stored in Redux, instead of the component itself? It would fix everything I am pretty sure.

[tf]

Can you elaborate? As part of the seed data, page content is already held in the redux store.

[tilsammans]

What if I

• subscribe to the store
• read the needed configuration keys
• perform the filtering inside the component (replace links with embeds)
• send UPDATE_PAGE_ATTRIBUTE with the changed HTML as value?

[tf]

That might work. Still the actual work of parsing HTML, rendering embeds and replacing links would be pretty much the same - just in the context of a a Redux reducer instead of the PageContent component, right?

[tilsammans]

Yes!

And if there is no published API in the reducer to work with the configuration attributes, I am sure we can formalise them to some extent. It seems useful to have the individual elements separately.

(my long-standing wish to change the h2 span titles to regular headings, for example. 😉)

[tf]

I'd be totally open to discuss such an API. Still, from my point of view, the hard part is performing the parsing/rendering - ideally in a SSR compatible way. Once that's figured out, deciding whether to introduce an API that is used by the PageContent component directly or integrating it via Redux looks a bit like a second step.

The h2 span battle still would have to won on the component level, though. 😉
