Deprecation: #94058 - JavaScript goToModule()

Description

One of the most prominent inline JavaScript functions goToModule() has been deprecated in favor of a streamlined ActionHandler API for JavaScript.

Impact

When using the internal backend module entry objects via setOnClick and getOnClick methods, PHP deprecation warnings are now triggered.

Affected Installations

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions referencing these methods.

Migration

Use the following HTML code to replace the inline goToModule() call to for example link to the page module:

<a href="#"
   data-dispatch-action="TYPO3.ModuleMenu.showModule"
   data-dispatch-args-list="web_layout"
>
   Go to page module
</a>

Inside actual JavaScript code, you can replace calls to goToModule() (or top.goToModule()) like this:

// Utilize imports rather than straight usage of TYPO3.ModuleMenu.App.showModule()
import ModuleMenu from '@typo3/backend/module-menu.js';

ModuleMenu.App.showModule('web_layout')

TYPO3.ModuleMenu.App.showModule('web_layout')
