MageWire Backend module for Magento 2

This module supplies Magewire compatibility for the Magento Admin Panel. It is built on top of the Magewire core (with RequireJS support).

WARNING: This is current in development. It might work for you, it might not. If you want to collaborate, you are welcome to join.

Installation

First install the composer package from this repository:

composer config repositories.magewire-backend vcs git@github.com:michielgerritsen/magewire-backend.git
composer require magewirephp/magewire-backend:@dev

Note that the current package also requires a Pull Request to be merged into the Magewire core (to reuse all of the current view files). To integrate this PR temporarily in your setup, we can use a composer patch:

composer require cweagans/composer-patches

Next, in your own root composer.json file, make sure to include the Pull Request:

{
	"extra": {
	 "patches": {
      "magewirephp/magewire": {
         "Compatibility with backend": "https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/magewirephp/magewire/pull/139.patch"
      }
    }
	}
}

Update composer:

composer update magewirephp/magewire

Afterwards, enable all of the relevant modules:

bin/magento module:enable Magewirephp_Magewire Magewirephp_MagewireRequireJs Magewirephp_MagewireBackend

Please note that Magewire will only be loaded, if there actually is a component making use of it. However, you should be able to inspect the loading of various JS files with the word magewire.

Proof of concept

Create a custom XML layout to add a block somewhere in the admin. Add an argument magewire referring to a custom Magewire component class.

You could also use the following example which displays an input with Hello World on the dashboard page:

composer config repositories.magewire-backend vcs git@github.com:yireo-training/YireoTraining_MageWireBackendHelloWorld.git
composer require yireo-training/magento2-magewire-backend-hello-world:@dev
bin/magento module:enable YireoTraining_MageWireBackendHelloWorld
