Volto Add-ons bundle - A known good set of Volto addons to be used within all EEA projects and beyond.

The eea.kitkat Plone add-on is the backend support for volto-eea-kitkat.

Included Volto Add-ons

Upgrade

Upgrading to 25.x

This version adds support for Volto 17 and it is meant to be used with Volto 17+. It may work with Volto 16 but it is not fully backward compatible (especially in Teaser block, anchors, listing), thus upgrading volto-eea-kitkat to version 25+ implies also upgrading to Volto 17+.

Add-ons removed

@kitconcept/volto-blocks-grid

Add-ons added

@eeacms/volto-block-toc

Upgrading to 20.x

This versions comes with @eeacms/volto-tabs-block 17.x. See this package upgrade guide

Upgrading to 10.x

This version requires: @plone/volto >= 16.0.0.alpha.45 (Sentry removed from Volto Core).

New add-ons added

Upgrading to 9.x

This version requires: @plone/volto >= 16.0.0.alpha.15 (volto-slate part of Volto Core).

Dropped dependencies (moved to Volto Core)

Resolutions

Volto EEA KitKat provides a set of generic Volto Add-ons and a Known Good Set of these add-ons versions to be used within your Volto projects without having to worry about which add-on version works best with another add-on.

While in other systems when you pin a package version to a specific number you will get that package version, in Javascript world is not that simple.

For this, Volto EEA Kitkat is using selective dependency resolutions. While this work as expected in most of the cases, you may still have some surprises.

Troubleshooting

Make sure your Volto project yarn.lock is not polluted. You can always reset your Volto project yarn.lock with:

 $ npm install -g @plone/generator-volto
 $ cd my-volto-project
 $ yo @plone/volto --skip-install --no-interactive /tmp/new-volto-project
 $ cp /tmp/new-volto-project/yarn.lock .
 $ yarn

Add-on resolutions don't work with workspaces (development mode), thus you'll need to define resolutions within Volto project. To tackle this issue, this Docker image automatically extracts resolutions from add-on and add them also to the Volto project before running tests.

Getting started

Try volto-eea-kitkat with Docker

  git clone https://github.com/eea/volto-eea-kitkat.git
  cd volto-eea-kitkat
  make
  make start

Add volto-eea-kitkat to your Volto project

Make sure you have a Plone backend up-and-running at http://localhost:8080/Plone
```

"addons": [
    "@eeacms/volto-eea-kitkat"
],

"dependencies": {
    "@eeacms/volto-eea-kitkat": "*"
}

If not, create one:

yo @plone/volto my-volto-project --canary --addon @eeacms/volto-eea-kitkat
cd my-volto-project
