Sitegeist.Silhouettes

Neos 7.0 includes the features of Sitegeist.Silhouettes as NodeType presets. This package will be abandoned in favor of that eventually!

Centralized property configuration for the Neos.ContentRepository

It is common that properties in various NodeTypes are expected to behave identically. This is usually achieved with mixins but those are bound to a fixed property name do not cover the case where properties with different names share similarities.

The Sitegeist.Silhouettes package uses preconfigured property-configurations from the settings in multiple NodeTypes. This adds a way to centralize property-configuration for cases where mixins are not sufficient and settings shall be synchronized betweeen properties with different names.

It is also possible to create silhouettes for childNode constraint configurations, e.g. to apply the same centralized constraints to different childNodes following the dry principle. This can also be useful when using a single NodeType package in different neos instances where the constraints may differcenate.

The settings from the configured silhouette are merged with the configuration that is found in the nodeType with the local configuration taking precedence over the silhouette.
