Typo3 Frontend Patterns

Use when implementing common UI components in TYPO3 v13/v14 LTS sitepackages with Fluid 4/5, TypeScript, and SCSS — sticky header, lazy loading, breadcrumb, language switcher, animations, scroll-to-anchor, skeleton loading, toast notifications, back-to-top. Also triggers for: Fluid 5 strict-typed ViewHelpers, Camino theme, native dialog modal, post-v14 external build tools (#108055; see typo3-vite-skill).

TYPO3 Frontend Patterns

Reusable implementation patterns for TYPO3 v13 and v14.3 LTS sitepackage development. Each pattern provides a complete implementation with Fluid template, TypeScript plugin, SCSS partial, and accessibility considerations.

v14 heads-up: the core no longer concatenates or compresses frontend CSS/JS (Breaking #108055). Pair these patterns with an external build tool — see typo3-vite-skill. Fluid 5 (v14) enforces strict ViewHelper typing (#108148): all VHs in pattern templates must have typed arguments + render(): string. Camino (v14.1+, #108539) is the v14 core's default theme alternative to bootstrap-package — patterns stay theme-agnostic.

These patterns solve common frontend problems that every TYPO3 sitepackage encounters. Instead of building from scratch, use these proven implementations that handle edge cases (scroll performance, reduced-motion, keyboard navigation, ARIA live regions) correctly from the start.

Available Patterns

Pattern	Description	Key Features
Sticky Header	Scroll-triggered fixed header	IntersectionObserver, CSS transitions
Lazy Loading	Deferred component initialization	IntersectionObserver, placeholder content
Breadcrumb	Breadcrumb navigation	JSON-LD structured data, Schema.org
Language Switcher	Multi-language navigation	b13/menus LanguageMenu, flag icons
Animations	Scroll-triggered animations	`prefers-reduced-motion` support
Scroll to Anchor	Smooth scroll with offset	Header height compensation
Skeleton Loading	CSS placeholder animations	Content layout stability
Toast Notification	Notification messages	Auto-dismiss, ARIA live region
Back to Top	Scroll-to-top button	Visibility threshold, smooth scroll

Implementation Convention

Each pattern follows the same structure:

Fluid template -- Markup with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes
TypeScript plugin -- Behavior with DOMContentLoaded initialization
SCSS partial -- Styling with Bootstrap integration
Vite entrypoint -- Code splitting via *.entry.ts
