Layouts methods

Layouts methods are registered with the layoutsMethods extension.

Default layouts methods

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

Getting started

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

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

This example shows the basic architecture of a layouts method. You define the method name with the key for the layoutsMethods extension array. $this in the callback function refers to the $layouts 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', [
    'layoutsMethods' => [
        'info' => function ($text = 'Count:') {
            return $this->toBlocks()->count() . ' ' . $text;
        }
    ]
]);

And then use it like this:

<?= $layouts->info('Blocks') ?>
