feat: add dynamic content variables / inline tokens#743
Merged
Conversation
Adds a Global Variables plugin that enables dynamic content variables
(inline tokens) in rich text fields. Variables stored as key-value pairs
are referenced using {variable_key} syntax and resolved server-side
when content is read via the API.
Changes:
- New global-variables-plugin with CRUD API and admin UI
- Variable resolver service with recursive object traversal
- content:read hook type added to HOOKS constant
- Server-side resolution integrated into content GET endpoint
- In-memory caching for variable lookups (5min TTL)
- 13 unit tests for the variable resolver
Part 2 (Quill editor UI for token picker) is planned for a follow-up PR.
Fixes #719

Would like to add a candidate for a phase 4 - the ability to register functions to these global variables. Think of a calculation of total reviews count, or an api call to calculate something. Internal db relationship resolver, etc. just like a Wordpress short code registry really. |

Adds a Global Variables plugin that enables dynamic content variables (inline tokens) in rich text fields. Variables are stored as key-value pairs and referenced using
{variable_key}syntax, with server-side resolution when content is read via the API.This implements Part 1 (Global Variables Collection) and Part 3 (Server-Side Resolution) from #719. Part 2 (Quill editor UI for token picker) is planned for a follow-up PR.
