QFQ Report Keywords
-------------------

See :ref:`qfq_keywords`.

QFQ content element
-------------------

The QFQ extension is activated through tt-content records. One or more tt-content records per page are necessary to render
*forms* and *reports*. Specify column and language per content record as wished.

The title of the QFQ content element will not be rendered. It's only visible in the backend for orientation of the webmaster.

To display a report on any given TYPO3 page, create a content element of type 'QFQ Element' (plugin) on that page.

A simple example
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Assume that the database has a table person with columns firstName and lastName. To create a simple list of all persons, we can do the following::

    10.sql = SELECT firstName, lastName FROM Person

The '10' indicates a *root level* of the report (see section :ref:`Structure<Structure>`). The expression '10.sql' defines an SQL query
for the specific level. When the query is executed, it will return a result having one single column name containing first and last name
separated by a space character.

The HTML output, displayed on the page, resulting from only this definition, could look as follows::

    JohnDoeJaneMillerFrankStar

I.e., QFQ will simply output the content of the SQL result row after row for each single level.

Format output: mix style and content
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Variant 1: pure SQL
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

To format the upper example, just create additional columns::

    10.sql = SELECT firstName, ", ", lastName, "<br>" FROM Person

HTML output::

    Doe, John<br>
    Miller, Jane<br>
    Star, Frank<br>

Variant 2: SQL plus QFQ helper
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Carsten  Rose's avatar

QFQ provides several helper functions to wrap rows and columns, or to separate them. E.g. ``fsep`` stands for `field
separate` and ``rend`` for `row end`::

    10.sql = SELECT firstName, lastName FROM Person
    10.fsep = ', '
    10.rend = <br>

HTML output::

    Doe, John<br>
    Miller, Jane<br>
    Star, Frank<br>

Check out all QFQ helpers under :ref:`qfq_keywords`.

Due to mixing style and content, this becomes harder to maintain with more complex layout.

Format output: separate style and content
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

The result of the query can be passed to the `Twig template engine <https://twig.symphony.com/>`_
in order to fill a template with the data.::

    10.sql = SELECT firstName, lastName FROM Person
    10.twig = {% for row in result %}
        {{ row.lastName }}, {{ row.firstName }<br />
    {% endfor %}

HTML output::

    Doe, John<br>
    Miller, Jane<br>
    Star, Frank<br>

Check out :ref:`using-twig`.

.. _`syntax-of-report`:

Syntax of *report*
------------------

All **root level queries** will be fired in the order specified by 'level' (Integer value).

For **each** row of a query (this means *all* queries), all subqueries will be fired once.

* E.g. if the outer query selects 5 rows, and a nested query select 3 rows, than the total number of rows are 5 x 3 = 15 rows.

There is a set of **variables** that will get replaced before ('count' also after) the SQL-Query gets executed:

``{{<name>[:<store/s>[:...]]}}``
  Variables from specific stores.

``{{<name>:R}}`` - use case of the above generic definition. See also :ref:`access-column-values`.

``{{<level>.<columnName>}}``
  Similar to  ``{{<name>:R}}`` but more specific. There is no sanitize class, escape mode or default value.

Carsten  Rose's avatar
Carsten Rose committed
See :ref:`qfq_keywords` for a full list.

See :ref:`variables` for a full list of all available variables.

Different types of SQL queries are possible: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SHOW, REPLACE

Only SELECT and SHOW queries will fire subqueries.

Processing of the resulting rows and columns:

  * In general, all columns of all rows will be printed out sequentially.
  * On a per column base, printing of columns can be suppressed by starting the column name with an underscore '_'. E.g.
    ``SELECT id AS _id``.
     This might be useful to store values, which will be used later on in another query via the ``{{id:R}}`` or
     ``{{<level>.columnName}}`` variable. To suppress printing of a column, use a underscore as column name prefix. E.g.
     ``SELECT id AS _id``

*Reserved column names* have a special meaning and will be processed in a special way. See
:ref:`Processing of columns in the SQL result<Processing of columns in the SQL result>` for details.

There are extensive ways to wrap columns and rows. See :ref:`wrapping-rows-and-columns`

.. _`using-twig`:

Using Twig
----------

How to write Twig templates is documented by the `Twig Project <https://twig.symphony.com/>`_.

QFQ passes the result of a given query to the corresponding Twig template using the Twig variable
`result`. So templates need to use this variable to access the result of a query.

Specifying a Template
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default the string passed to the **twig**-key is used as template directly,
as shown in the simple example above::

   10.twig = {% for row in result %}
       {{ row.lastName }}, {{ row.firstName }<br />
   {% endfor %}

However, if the string starts with **file:**, the template is read from the
file specified.::

   10.twig = file:table_sortable.html.twig

The file is searched relative to *<site path>* and if the file is not found there, it's searched relative to
QFQ's *twig_template* folder where the included base templates are stored.

The following templates are available:

``tables/default.html.twig``
  A basic table with column headers, sorting and column filters using tablesorter and bootstrap.

``tables/single_vertical.html.twig``
  A template to display the values of a single record in a vertical table.

Links
^^^^^
The link syntax described in :ref:`column-link` is available inside Twig templates
using the `qfqlink` filter::

  {{ "u:http://www.example.com" | qfqlink }}

will render a link to *http://www.example.com*.

^^^^^^^^^^^
A String can be JSON decoded in Twig the following way::

  {% set decoded = '["this is one", "this is two"]' | json_decode%}

This can then be used as a normal object in Twig::

  {{ decoded[0] }}

will render *this is one*.


Available Store Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

QFQ also provides access to the following stores via the template context.

  * record
  * sip
  * typo3
  * user
  * system
  * var

All stores are accessed using their lower case name as attribute of the
context variable `store`. The active Typo3 front-end user is therefore available as::

  {{ store.typo3.feUser }}

Example
^^^^^^^

The following block shows an example of a QFQ report.

*10.sql* selects all users who have been assigned files in our file tracker.

.. TODO use content = hide instead of _user once this is implemented

*10.10* then selects all files belonging to this user, prints the username as header
and then displays the files in a nice table with links to the files. ::

      10.sql = SELECT assigned_to AS _user FROM FileTracker
                  WHERE assigned_to IS NOT NULL
                  GROUP BY _user
                  ORDER BY _user

      10.10.sql = SELECT id, path_scan FROM FileTracker
      WHERE assigned_to = '{{user:R}}'
      10.10.twig = <h2>{{ store.record.user }}</h2>
      <table class="table table-hover tablesorter" id="{{pageAlias:T}}-twig">
        <thead><tr><th>ID</th><th>File</th></tr></thead>
        <tbody>
        {% for row in result %}
          <tr>
            <td>{{ row.id }}</td>
            <td>{{ ("d:|M:pdf|s|t:"~ row.path_scan ~"|F:" ~ row.path_scan ) | qfqlink }}</td>
          </tr>
        {% endfor %}
        </tbody>
      </table>


Reserved names
--------------

The following names have a special meaning in QFQ/Typo3. It is recommended to use such names only in the meaning of
QFQ/Typo3 and not to use them as free defineable user variables.

  ``id``, ``type``, ``L``, ``form``, ``r``


Debug the bodytext
------------------

Carsten  Rose's avatar
Carsten Rose committed
The parsed bodytext could be displayed by activating 'showDebugInfo' (:ref:`debug`) and specifying::

    debugShowBodyText = 1

A small symbol with a tooltip will be shown, where the content record will be displayed on the webpage.
Note: :ref:`debug` information will only be shown with *showDebugInfo: yes* in :ref:`configuration`.


.. _`inline-report`:

Inline Report editing
---------------------

For quick changes it can be bothersome to go to the TYPO3 backend to update the page content and reload the page.
For this reason, QFQ offers an inline report editing feature whenever there is a TYPO3 BE user logged in. A small
link symbol will appear on the right-hand side of each report record. Please note that the TYPO3 Frontend cache
is also deleted upon each inline report save.

In order for the inline report editing to work, QFQ needs to be able to access the T3 database. This database
is assumed to be accessible with the same credentials as specified with indexQfq.

.. _`Structure`:

Structure
---------

A report can be divided into several levels. This can make report definitions more readable because it allows for
splitting of otherwise excessively long SQL queries. For example, if your SQL query on the root level selects a number
of person records from your person table, you can use the SQL query on the second level to look up the city where each person lives.

See the example below::

    10.sql = SELECT id AS _pId, CONCAT(firstName, " ", lastName, " ") AS name FROM Person
    10.rsep = <br>

    10.10.sql = SELECT CONCAT(postal_code, " ", city) FROM Address WHERE pId = {{10.pId}}
    10.10.rbeg = (
    10.10.rend = )


This would result in::

    John Doe (3004 Bern)
    Jane Miller (8008 Zürich)
    Frank Star (3012 Bern)


Text across several lines
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To get better human readable SQL queries, it's possible to split a line across several lines. Lines
with keywords are on their own (:ref:`QFQ Keywords (Bodytext)<qfq_keywords>` start a new line). If a line is not a 'keyword' line, it will
be appended to the last keyword line. 'Keyword' lines are detected on:

* <level>.<keyword> =
* {
* <level>[.<sub level] {

Example::

    10.sql = SELECT 'hello world'
               FROM Mastertable
    10.tail = End

    20.sql = SELECT 'a warm welcome'
               'some additional', 'columns'
               FROM AnotherTable
               WHERE id>100

    20.head = <h3>
    20.tail = </h3>

Join mode: SQL
""""""""""""""

This is the default. All lines are joined with a *space* in between. E.g.::

    10.sql = SELECT 'hello world'
               FROM Mastertable

Results to: ``10.sql = SELECT 'hello world' FROM Mastertable``

Notice the space between "...world'" and "FROM ...".

Join mode: strip whitespace
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Ending a line with a \\ strips all leading and trailing whitespaces of that line joins the line directly (no extra
space in between). E.g.::

    10.sql = SELECT 'hello world', 'd:final.pdf \
                                    |p:id=export  \
                                    |t:Download' AS _pdf \

Results to: ``10.sql = SELECT 'hello world', 'd:final.pdf|p:id=export|t:Download' AS _pdf``

Note: the \\ does not force the joining, it only removes the whitespaces.

To get the same result, the following is also possible::

    10.sql = SELECT 'hello world', CONCAT('d:final.pdf'
                                    '|p:id=export',
                                    '|t:Download') AS _pdf

Nesting of levels
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Levels can be nested. E.g.::

  10 {
    sql = SELECT ...
    5 {
        sql = SELECT ...
        head = ...
    }
  }

This is equal to::

  10.sql = SELECT ...
  10.5.sql = SELECT ...
  10.5.head = ...

Leading / trailing spaces
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By default, leading or trailing whitespaces are removed from strings behind '='. E.g. 'rend =  test ' becomes 'test' for
rend. To prevent any leading or trailing spaces, surround them by using single or double ticks. Example::

  10.sql = SELECT name FROM Person
  10.rsep = ' '
  10.head = "Names: "


Braces character for nesting
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By default, curly braces '{}' are used for nesting. Alternatively angle braces '<>', round braces '()' or square
braces '[]' are also possible. To define the braces to use, the **first line** of the bodytext has to be a comment line and the
last character of that line must be one of '{[(<'. The corresponding braces are used for that QFQ record. E.g.::

    # Specific code. >
    10 <
      sql = SELECT
      head = <script>
             data = [
               {
                 10, 20
               }
             ]
             </script>
    >


Per QFQ tt-content record, only one type of nesting braces can be used.

Be careful to:

* write nothing else than whitespaces/newline behind an **open brace**
* the **closing brace** has to be alone on a line::

   10.sql = SELECT 'Yearly Report'

   20 {
         sql = SELECT companyName FROM Company LIMIT 1
         head = <h1>
         tail = </h1>
   }

   30 {
         sql = SELECT depName FROM Department
         head = <p>
         tail = </p>
         5 {
               sql = SELECT 'detailed information for department'
               1.sql = SELECT name FROM Person LIMIT 7
               1.head = Employees:
         }
   }

   30.5.tail = More will follow

   50

   {
          sql = SELECT 'A query with braces on their own'
   }

.. _`access-column-values`:

Access column values
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Columns of the upper / outer level result can be accessed via variables in two ways

* STORE_RECORD: ``{{pId:R}}``
* Level Key: ``{{10.pId}}``

The STORE_RECORD will always be merged with previous content. The Level Keys are unique.

.. important::

    Multiple columns, with the same column name, can't be accessed individually. Only the last column is available.
.. important::

    Retrieving the *final* value of :ref:`special-column-names` is possible via '{{&<column>:R}} (there is an '&' direct behind '{{')

  10.sql = SELECT 'p:home&form=Person|s|b:success|t:Edit' AS _link
  10.20.sql = SELECT '{{link:R}}', '{{&link:R}}'

The first column of row `10.20` returns `p:home&form=Person|s|b:success|t:Edit`,the second column returns
'<span class="btn btn-success"><a href="?home&s=badcaffee1234">Edit</a></span>'.

Example STORE_RECORD::

  10.sql= SELECT p.id AS _pId, p.name FROM Person AS p
  10.5.sql = SELECT adr.city, 'dummy' AS _pId FROM Address AS adr WHERE adr.pId={{pId:R}}
  10.5.20.sql = SELECT '{{pId:R}}'
  10.10.sql = SELECT '{{pId:R}}'

The line '10.10' will output 'dummy' in cases where there is at least one corresponding address.
If there are no addresses (all persons) it reports the person id.
If there is at least one address, it reports 'dummy', cause that's the last stored content.

Example 'level'::

  10.sql= SELECT p.id AS _pId, p.name FROM Person AS p
  10.5.sql = SELECT adr.city, 'dummy' AS _pId FROM Address AS adr WHERE adr.pId={{10.pId}}
  10.5.20.sql = SELECT '{{10.pId}}'
  10.10.sql = SELECT '{{10.pId}}'


Notes to the level:

+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Levels      |A report is divided into levels. The Example has levels *10*, *20*, *30*, *30.5*, *30.5.1*, *50*                        |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Qualifier   |A level is divided into qualifiers *30.5.1* has 3 qualifiers *30*, *5*, *1*                                             |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Root levels |Is a level with one qualifier. E.g.: 10                                                                                 |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Sub levels  |Is a level with more than one qualifier. E.g. levels *30.5* or *30.5.1*                                                 |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Child       |The level *30* has one child and child child: *30.5* and *30.5.1*                                                       |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Example     | *10*, *20*, *30*, *50** are root level and will be completely processed one after each other.                          |
|             | *30.5* will be executed as many times as *30* has row numbers.                                                         |
|             | *30.5.1*  will be executed as many times as *30.5* has row numbers.                                                    |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Report Example 1::

    # Displays current date
    10.sql = SELECT CURDATE()

    # Show all students from the person table
    20.sql = SELECT p.id AS pId, p.firstName, " - ", p.lastName FROM Person AS p WHERE p.typ LIKE "student"

    # Show all the marks from the current student ordered chronological
    20.25.sql = SELECT e.mark FROM Exam AS e WHERE e.pId={{20.pId}} ORDER BY e.date

    # This query will never be fired, cause there is no direct parent called 20.30.
    20.30.10.sql = SELECT 'never fired'

.. _wrapping-rows-and-columns:

Wrapping rows and columns: Level
--------------------------------

Order and nesting of queries, will be defined with a TypoScript-alike syntax::

    level.sublevel1.subsublevel2. ...

* Each 'level' directive needs a final key, e.g: 20.30.10. **sql**.
* A key **sql** is necessary in order to process a level.

See all :ref:`QFQ Keywords (Bodytext)<qfq_keywords>`.

.. _`Processing of columns in the SQL result`:

Processing of columns in the SQL result
---------------------------------------

* The content of all columns of all rows will be printed sequentially, without separator (except one is defined).
* Rows with :ref:`special-column-names`  will be rendered internally by QFQ and the QFQ output of such processing (if there
  is any) is taken as the content.

.. _special-column-names:

Special column names
--------------------

.. note::

    Twig: respect that the 'special column name'-columns are rendered before Twig becomes active. The recommended
    way by using Twig is *not to use* special column names at all. Use the Twig version *qfqLink*.

QFQ don't care about the content of any SQL-Query - it just copy the content to the output (=Browser).

One exception are columns, whose name starts with '_'.  E.g.::

  10.sql = SELECT 'All', 'cats' AS red, 'are' AS _green, 'grey in the night' AS _link

* The first and second column are regular columns. No QFQ processing.
* The third column (alias name 'green') is no QFQ special column name, but has an '_' at the beginning: this column
  content will be hidden.
* The fourth column (alias name 'link') uses a QFQ special column name. Here, only in this example, it has no
  further meaning.
* All columns in a row, with the same special column name  (e.g. ``... AS _page``) will have the same column name: 'page'.
  To access individual columns a uniq column title is necessary and can be added ``...|column1``::

      10.sql = SELECT '..1..' AS '_page|column1', '..2..' AS '_page|column2'

  Those columns can be accessed via ``{{column1:R}}`` , ``{{column2:R}}`` (recommended) or ``{{10.column1}}`` , ``{{10.column2}}``.
* To skip wrapping via ``fbeg``, ``fsep``, ``fend`` for dedicated columns, add the keyword ``|_noWrap`` to the column alias.
  Example::

      10.sql = SELECT 'world' AS 'title|_noWrap'

Summary:

.. note::
    * For 'special column names': the column name together with the value controls how QFQ processes the column.
    * Special column names always start with '_'.
    * Important: to reference a column, the name has to be given without '_'. E.g. ``SELECT 'cat' AS _pet`` will be used with
      ``{{pet:R}}`` (notice the missing '_').
    * Columns starting with a '_' but not defined as as QFQ special column name are hidden(!) - in other words: they are
      not **printed** as output.
    * Tip: if a column name starts with  '_' the column name becomes '_....' - which will be hidden! To be safe: always
      define an alias!
    * Access to 'hidden' columns via ``{{<level>.<column>}}`` or ``{{<column>:R}}`` are possible and often used.

.. _column-link:

Column: _link
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Most URLs will be rendered via class link.
* Column names like ``_pagee`, ``_mailto``, ... are wrapper to class link.
* The parameters for link contains a prefix to make them position-independent.
* Parameter have to be separated with '|'. If '|' is part of the value, it needs to be escaped '\\|'. This can be done
  via QFQ SQL function ``QBAR()`` - see :ref:`qbar-escape-qfq-delimiter`.

.. _render-mode:

Render mode
^^^^^^^^^^^

The following table might be hard to read - but it's really useful to understand. It solves a lot of different situations.
If there are no special condition (like missing value, or suppressed links), render mode 0 is sufficient.
But if the URL text is missing, or the URL is missing, OR the link should be rendered in sql row 1-10, but not 5, then
render mode might dynamically control the rendered link.

* Column *Mode* is the render mode and controls how the link is rendered.

+------------+---------------------+--------------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Mode        |Given: url & text    |Given: only url     | Given: only text |Description                                                                |

+------------+---------------------+--------------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Example::

    10.sql = SELECT CONCAT('u:', p.homepage, IF(p.showHomepage='yes', '|r:0', '|r:5') ) AS _link FROM Person AS p

Tip:

An easy way to switch between different options of rendering a link, incl. Bootstrap buttons, is to use the render mode.

* no render mode or 'r:0' - the full functional link/button.
* 'r:3' - the link/button is rendered with text/image/glyph/tooltip ... but without a HTML a-tag! For Bootstrap button, the button get the 'disabled' class.
* 'r:5' - no link/button at all.
