FLARE 🔥 Filter, List and Reader Bundle

heimrichhannot/contao-flare-bundle is a powerful Contao CMS extension designed for high-performance filtering, listing, and individual detail views (readers).

Built on a modern, decoupled architecture (Projection Pattern), Flare provides a flexible and developer-friendly way to manage complex data displays without the overhead of traditional Contao modules.

Features​

  • Decoupled Architecture: Clean separation of Specification, Context, and View.
  • Context-Aware Filtering: Different filtering logic for interactive lists, aggregations, or exports.
  • Symfony Forms Integration: Filter forms are built using standard Symfony FormTypes, ensuring full compatibility and easy customization.
  • High Performance: Optimized SQL query building with structured aliasing and automatic join resolution.
  • Custom Pagination: Built-in paginator that is robust and easy to style (Twig-based).
  • Detail Views (Readers): Full support for individual entity views using Contao's auto_item feature.
  • Developer First: PHP 8 attributes (#[AsListType], #[AsFilterElement], #[AsFilterInvoker]) for rapid development and clear code discovery.
  • Extensible: Easy to add custom list types, filter elements, and global query manipulations via events.
  • No Modules Required: Everything is managed via Content Elements and backend configurations.
