nr-sync - TYPO3 Content Synchronization

Introduction

• Prepares your Content for a synchronization wherever you want
• Easy integration for your own extensions
• No content editing on live systems anymore

Description

The extension provides an easy and editor friendly way to prepare the content for a synchronization to other environments e.g. live, testing or development systems. All the synchronizations can be done complete or incremental to keep the required load to an absolute minimum. The extension won't do the synchronization by itself.

Installation

Composer

composer require netresearch/nr-sync

GIT

git clone git@github.com:netresearch/t3x-sync.git

PSR-14 Events

The extension provides several PSR-14 events that allow you to extend and customize the synchronization behavior:

BeforeSyncEvent

Dispatched before a sync dump is created. Allows you to modify the tables that will be synced.

Event Class: Netresearch\Sync\Event\BeforeSyncEvent

Example Usage:

<?php
namespace Vendor\MyExtension\EventListener;

use Netresearch\Sync\Event\BeforeSyncEvent;

final class ModifyTablesBeforeSync
{
    public function __invoke(BeforeSyncEvent $event): void
    {
        $tables = $event->getTables();
        // Add a custom table to the sync
        $tables[] = 'tx_myextension_domain_model_item';
        $event->setTables($tables);
    }
}

Register in Configuration/Services.yaml:

Vendor\MyExtension\EventListener\ModifyTablesBeforeSync:
    tags:
        - name: event.listener
          event: Netresearch\Sync\Event\BeforeSyncEvent

AfterSyncEvent

Dispatched after a sync dump has been created. Allows you to perform actions after the sync completes.

Event Class: Netresearch\Sync\Event\AfterSyncEvent

Example Usage:

<?php
namespace Vendor\MyExtension\EventListener;

use Netresearch\Sync\Event\AfterSyncEvent;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

final class LogAfterSync
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly LoggerInterface $logger
    ) {
    }

    public function __invoke(AfterSyncEvent $event): void
    {
        if ($event->isSuccess()) {
            // Log successful sync
            $this->logger->info('Sync completed successfully', [
                'dumpFile' => $event->getDumpFile(),
                'tables' => $event->getTables(),
            ]);
        }
    }
}

Register in Configuration/Services.yaml:

Vendor\MyExtension\EventListener\LogAfterSync:
    tags:
        - name: event.listener
          event: Netresearch\Sync\Event\AfterSyncEvent

ModifyMenuItemsEvent

Dispatched when building the sync module menu. Allows you to add custom menu items to the backend module.

Event Class: Netresearch\Sync\Event\ModifyMenuItemsEvent

Example Usage:

<?php
namespace Vendor\MyExtension\EventListener;

use Netresearch\Sync\Event\ModifyMenuItemsEvent;
use TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Template\Components\Menu\MenuItem;

final class AddCustomMenuItem
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyMenuItemsEvent $event): void
    {
        $menuItem = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(MenuItem::class);
        $menuItem->setTitle('Custom Sync');
        $menuItem->setHref('/custom-sync-url');
        $menuItem->setActive(false);
        
        $event->addMenuItem($menuItem);
    }
}

Register in Configuration/Services.yaml:

Vendor\MyExtension\EventListener\AddCustomMenuItem:
    tags:
        - name: event.listener
          event: Netresearch\Sync\Event\ModifyMenuItemsEvent

ModifyTableListEvent

Dispatched when determining which tables to sync for a module. Allows you to dynamically add or remove tables.

Event Class: Netresearch\Sync\Event\ModifyTableListEvent

Example Usage:

<?php
namespace Vendor\MyExtension\EventListener;

use Netresearch\Sync\Event\ModifyTableListEvent;

final class AddCustomTables
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyTableListEvent $event): void
    {
        // Add a table only for specific modules
        if ($event->getModuleIdentifier() === 'netresearch_sync_singlePage') {
            $event->addTable('tx_myextension_domain_model_item');
        }
        
        // Or remove a table
        $event->removeTable('unwanted_table');
    }
}

Register in Configuration/Services.yaml:

Vendor\MyExtension\EventListener\AddCustomTables:
    tags:
        - name: event.listener
          event: Netresearch\Sync\Event\ModifyTableListEvent

FalSyncEvent

Dispatched to immediately trigger a FAL (File Abstraction Layer) sync.

Event Class: Netresearch\Sync\Event\FalSyncEvent

Example Usage:

<?php
namespace Vendor\MyExtension\Service;

use Netresearch\Sync\Event\FalSyncEvent;
use Psr\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcherInterface;

final class MyService
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly EventDispatcherInterface $eventDispatcher
    ) {
    }

    public function triggerFalSync(): void
    {
        $event = new FalSyncEvent(
            areaId: 1,
            dumpFilePrefix: 'my-custom-prefix'
        );
        $this->eventDispatcher->dispatch($event);
    }
}
