Move the GrapesJS composition plugins into a campaign_grapesjs submodule
## Problem/Motivation
Every composition editor in this module is an optional submodule — except the
two GrapesJS ones, which sit in the base module for no reason other than that
they were built first (#3615583, before the submodule pattern existed).
| Editor | Ships as |
|---|---|
| Mosaico | `campaign_mosaico` |
| EmailBuilder.js | `campaign_emailbuilder` |
| easy-email-editor | `campaign_easy_email` |
| **GrapesJS Newsletter** | **base module** |
| **GrapesJS MJML** | **base module** |
The inconsistency has costs beyond tidiness:
- **The base module carries editor-specific weight it does not need.** Five
library definitions in `campaign.libraries.yml`, three JS files under `js/`,
a `hook_requirements()` implementation in `campaign.install` that exists
solely to warn about missing GrapesJS libraries, and a config schema entry —
all of it inert on a site that never uses GrapesJS, which is every site that
picked one of the other three editors.
- **The pattern reads as arbitrary to a newcomer.** `README.md` documents
GrapesJS under "optional" and then documents Mosaico, EmailBuilder.js and
easy-email as "optional submodule", with no stated reason for the
difference. There is none.
- **It complicates the plugin-type story.** The module's pitch is that
composition is a plugin type others implement. Two reference
implementations living inside the base module blur where the contract ends
and an implementation begins.
Doing this **before the first release** matters: no version has been tagged
from `1.0.x` yet, so today this affects `1.0.x-dev` sites only and needs an
update hook rather than a documented breaking change. After `1.0.0-alpha1` it
becomes a support burden.
## Proposed resolution
Create `modules/campaign_grapesjs` and move both plugins into it, mirroring
the submodule shape already established by `campaign_emailbuilder` (a
`campaign:campaign` dependency, core requirement kept in lockstep with the
base module).
What moves:
- `src/Plugin/Campaign/Composition/GrapesJsNewsletter.php`,
`src/Plugin/Campaign/Composition/GrapesJsMjml.php`
- `src/Composition/GrapesJsCompositionBase.php` — GrapesJS-specific, unlike
`SiteLibrariesTrait`
- `js/grapesjs.newsletter.js`, `js/grapesjs.mjml.js`,
`js/grapesjs.asset-manager.js`
- the five GrapesJS library definitions in `campaign.libraries.yml`
- the `campaign_grapesjs` half of `campaign_requirements()` in
`campaign.install`
- `campaign.composition.plugin.grapesjs_newsletter` in
`config/schema/campaign.schema.yml`
- `tests/src/FunctionalJavascript/GrapesJsEditorTestBase.php`,
`GrapesJsNewsletterTest.php`, `GrapesJsMjmlTest.php`,
`tests/src/Kernel/GrapesJsAvailabilityTest.php`
What stays: `SiteLibrariesTrait` (shared by all four editors),
`CompositionPluginBase`, `CompositionManager`, the asset uploader service, and
`CompositionEditorTestBase`.
### Decisions (settled in MR !25)
- **Does `campaign.asset_upload` move too?** **Yes — it moved**, and its route
was renamed `campaign_grapesjs.asset_upload` at
`/campaign-grapesjs/asset/upload`. This was decided on precedent rather than
taste: #3615645 faced the same question and chose per-editor protocol shims
over one shared multi-format endpoint, converging Mosaico onto the base
module's *service*, *permission*, *directory* and *usage tracker* — but
explicitly not onto the controller. `campaign_mosaico.upload` is that shim
and lives in Mosaico's own submodule; `AssetUploadController` is the GrapesJS
counterpart, and its own docblock already conceded the response is "the shape
the GrapesJS Asset Manager consumes". The base module keeps `AssetUploader`,
`AssetUploadResult`, `AssetUsageTracker`, the restricted `upload campaign
assets` permission and `public://campaign/images` — which is what
"editor-agnostic" actually referred to. Moving it also takes an unused POST
upload endpoint off every site running one of the other three editors.
- **One submodule or two?** **One** (`campaign_grapesjs`). Beyond the shared
base class and libraries, per-plugin granularity already exists *without*
module granularity: `grapesjs-preset-newsletter` and `grapesjs-mjml` are
separate npm packages, so `SiteLibrariesTrait` hides whichever plugin's
library is absent. A site installing only `grapesjs-mjml` already sees only
the MJML plugin, so splitting the module would buy nothing.
- **Schema gap surfaced by the inventory.** **Already closed before this issue
was worked** — #3615658 added `campaign.composition.plugin.grapesjs_mjml`,
derived from the plugin's `defaultConfiguration()` rather than a test
fixture, and proved the assertion covering it is no longer a tautology. It
was a genuine omission, not deliberate. Both entries simply moved, and the
tautology proof was re-run at the new location.
### Upgrade path
Existing messages store the composition plugin id (`grapesjs_newsletter`,
`grapesjs_mjml`) in a revisionable field. If the plugins move and the new
submodule is not enabled, those messages lose their composition plugin — the
manager drops unavailable definitions, and re-editing breaks.
**This shipped without `hook_update_N()`** — a deliberate decision, not an
omission. Site owners tracking `1.0.x-dev` enable `campaign_grapesjs`
themselves, guided by a new README subsection that states the consequence
plainly: with the submodule disabled, an existing message using either plugin
has no composition plugin to open, and nothing warns at update time.
Already-sent messages are unaffected, since their rendered body is stored on
the message. That documentation is therefore the only mitigation. The hook
remains available as a follow-up if `1.0.x-dev` breakage proves noisier than
expected; it would scan all revisions of `campaign_message` for the two plugin
ids, and would need a re-created `campaign.install`, since `hook_update_N()`
has no OOP form.
No released version ever shipped these plugins, so this is a `1.0.x-dev`
concern only, and the README already carries a precedent for documenting
exactly that (the Mosaico image directory move under "Upgrading a `1.0.x-dev`
site").
## Remaining tasks
All complete in MR !25. Two entries below differ from the list this issue was
filed with, and both are recorded above:
- [x] Create the submodule; move code, JS, libraries, schema and tests.
- [x] ~~Split `campaign_requirements()`~~ — **deleted `CampaignRequirements`
outright** and added `\Drupal\campaign_grapesjs\Hook\GrapesJsRequirements`.
This issue was filed before #3615656 replaced the procedural
`campaign_requirements()` with an OOP `#[Hook]` class, and that class
turned out to be *entirely* the GrapesJS check — so with GrapesJS gone
the base module had no runtime requirement left to report and nothing to
split.
- [x] ~~Add the update hook that installs the submodule for affected sites.~~
**Deliberately not shipped** — see Upgrade path above.
- [x] Update `README.md` (the GrapesJS section is now an optional submodule,
with a `drush pm:enable campaign_grapesjs` step and its own
"Upgrading a `1.0.x-dev` site" subsection) and `docs/architecture.md`
(the "One asset surface, two protocols" section is rewritten: the base
module owns the surface, each editor submodule owns its protocol
adapter).
- [x] Keep the `.gitlab-ci.yml` library download step working — its
`$_WEB_ROOT/libraries/...` targets are site-level paths and were left
untouched; only its authoritative-record comment changed. The moved
FunctionalJavascript tests are confirmed **executed, not self-skipped**
in CI, on both current core and Drupal 11.3.14 (the declared floor).
- [x] Confirm phpstan still covers the moved code and that the full suite is
green.
## API changes
**Breaking for `1.0.x-dev` sites.**
`Drupal\campaign\Composition\GrapesJsCompositionBase` and both plugin classes
change namespace to `Drupal\campaign_grapesjs\…`. The plugin **ids**
(`grapesjs_newsletter`, `grapesjs_mjml`) and their stored configuration
shapes do not change, so message content survives; only the class names and
the requirement to enable a module do. Library names change from
`campaign/grapesjs*` to `campaign_grapesjs/*`.
The asset upload endpoint moved with the plugins and was **renamed**: the route
`campaign.asset_upload` at `/campaign/asset/upload` becomes
`campaign_grapesjs.asset_upload` at `/campaign-grapesjs/asset/upload`, and
`\Drupal\campaign\Controller\AssetUploadController` becomes
`\Drupal\campaign_grapesjs\Controller\AssetUploadController`. Its
`upload campaign assets` permission requirement, its `_csrf_token` mechanism
and its `{"data": [...]}` wire format are unchanged. In-repo the URL is only
ever generated server-side via `Url::fromRoute()` and reaches the editor JS
through `drupalSettings`, so nothing hardcodes it; the CSRF token derives from
the same `Url` object's internal path and follows the rename automatically.
