Layout column methods

Layout column methods are registered with the layoutColumnMethods extension.

Default layout column methods

For a full list of default layout column methods, please check out the Reference.

Getting started

You can extend the set of defined layout column methods in a plugin file.

Kirby::plugin('my/plugin', [
    'layoutColumnMethods' => [
          'test' => function () {
              return 'layout column method';
          }
      ]
]);

This example shows the basic architecture of a layout column method. You define the method name with the key for the layoutColumnMethods extension array. $this in the callback function refers to the $layoutColumn object.

Working with method arguments

In some cases it might be helpful to be able to pass arguments to the method:

You can define arguments for a method like this:

Kirby::plugin('my/plugin', [
    'layoutColumnMethods' => [
        'hasBlockType' => function ($type) {
            return $this->blocks()->hasType($type);
        }
    ]
]);

And then use it like this:

<?php $galleryExists = $layout->hasBlockType('gallery') ?>
