Deprecation: #80047 - Deprecate jQuery and extJS for BE viewhelpers

See forge#80047

Description

The BE related ViewHelpers <f:be.container> and <f:be.pageRenderer> have properties to activate ExtJS and jQuery with various options. The usage of ExtJS has been deprecated and jQuery is always loaded. Therefore the following attributes have been marked as deprecated.

<f:be.container>

  • enableClickMenu
  • loadExtJs
  • loadExtJsTheme
  • enableExtJsDebug
  • loadJQuery
  • jQueryNamespace

<f:be.pageRenderer>

  • loadExtJs
  • loadExtJsTheme
  • enableExtJsDebug
  • loadJQuery
  • jQueryNamespace

Impact

Using these attributes will trigger a deprecation log entry. Code using them will work until these methods are removed in TYPO3 v9.

Affected Installations

Any installation using the mentioned attributes.

Migration

Use includeRequireJsModules property of the <f:be.pageRenderer> or <f:be.container> ViewHelpers to add needed RequireJS modules.

Example:

<f:be.pageRenderer
   includeRequireJsModules="{
      0:'TYPO3/CMS/Backend/ContextMenu'
   }"
/>
