Base Variants¶

In Site Handling base variants represent different bases for a web site depending on a specified condition. For example a "live" base URL might be https://example.org but on local machine it's https://example.test as a domain - that's when variants are used.

Base variants exist for languages, too. Currently these can only be defined through the respective *.yml file, there is no UI available yet.

Variants consist of two parts:

a base to use for this variant
a condition that decides when this variant shall be active

Conditions are based on Symfony Expression Language and allow flexible conditions. For example:

applicationContext == "Development"

would define a base variant to use in Development context.

A configured base variant for development context.

ヒント

For those coming from earlier TYPO3 versions: With site handling, there is no need for sys_domain records anymore! :)

参考

Read Application Context for more information on how to set the application context.

The following variables and functions are available in addition to the default Symfony functionality:

rootPageId: 1
base: 'https://www.example.com/'
