Preview definition

The module “Administration” in the TYPO3 backend allows to see a tree view of what has been filled in the definition.

This view has two goals:

  1. Being able to see every single value in the definition

    It allows to understand what is processed by the extension during runtime.

    It can be used when doing definition manipulation, to see if everything goes as planned (see if a definition file is correctly imported, check if a value is valid…).

  2. View definition errors

    When an error is found while the definition is being built, the error is detailed in the tree.

    It helps to understand what is the source of the error and how to correct it.
