Resource / Record / FalViewHelper

Resolve FAL relations and return file records.

Render a single image linked from a TCA record

We assume that the table tx_users has a column photo, which is a FAL relation field configured with [ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig()] (https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Reference/Columns/Inline/Index.html#file-abstraction-layer). The template also has a user variable containing one of the table's records.

At first, fetch the record and store it in a variable. Then use <f:image> to render it:

{v:resource.record.fal(table: 'tx_users', field: 'photo', record: user)
 -> v:iterator.first()
 -> v:variable.set(name: 'image')}
<f:if condition="{image}">
  <f:image treatIdAsReference="1" src="{image.id}" title="{image.title}" alt="{image.alternative}"/>
</f:if>

Use the uid attribute if you don't have a record. /

• Tag usage example

  <v:resource.record.fal table="NULL" field="NULL" record="{foo: 'bar'}" uid="123" as="NULL">
  	<!-- tag content - may be ignored! -->
  </v:resource.record.fal>

• Inline usage example

  {v:resource.record.fal(table: 'NULL', field: 'NULL', record: {foo: 'bar'}, uid: 123, as: 'NULL')}

    [BUGFIX] Complete array returned for fileReference
    
    When we replaced toArray with getProperties to get file reference the properties of the File itself were no longer available because toArray performed a array_merge internally.
    
    For that we created a own method getFileArray but didn't use this in content.resources.fal yet.
    
    This bugfix moves that method to a utility and replaces all usages of that method to use it on the utility.
    
    Fixes: #532

    [TASK] CGL remove use leading backslash
    PHP Docs
    Note that for namespaced names (fully qualified namespace names containing namespace separator, such as Foo\Bar as opposed to global names that do not, such as FooBar),
    the leading backslash is unnecessary and not recommended, as import names must be fully qualified, and are not processed relative to the current namespace.
