table

A table block based on the structure field

Preview

The table block is a rather rudimentary block that is supposed to be fully implemented with a custom block blueprint and snippet.

Files

Blueprint

The default blueprint is really just a placeholder and looks like this:

/kirby/config/blocks/table/table.yml

name: Table
icon: menu
preview: table

For your custom table block blueprint, create a table.yml file in /site/blueprints/blocks. The table block is supposed to be used with a structure field called rows. As regards the fields inside the structure, you are free to name them whatever you like.

/site/blueprints/blocks/table.yml

name: Simple 3-column menu table
icon: menu
preview: table
fields:
  rows:
    type: structure
    columns:
      dish:
        width: 1/4
      description:
        width: 1/4
      price:
        width: 1/2
        align: right
        after: "USD"
    fields:
      dish:
        type: writer
        marks: false
        inline: true
      description:
        type: text
      price:
        type: number

In addition to this basic setup, you can also add additional fields that would allow users to add classes or ids to the block.

Snippet

The table block doesn’t come with a default snippet, but you have to create it yourself depending on the setup of your table blueprint.

/site/snippets/blocks/table.php

<?php 
$rows = $block->rows()->toStructure();
if($rows->isNotEmpty()):
?>
<table class="block-table">
  <tr>
    <th>Dish</th>
    <th>Description</th>
    <th>Price</th>
  </tr>
  <?php foreach( $rows as $row): ?>
    <tr>
      <td><?= $row->dish()->html() ?></td>
      <td><?= $row->description()->html() ?></td>
      <td><?= number_format ( $row->price()->toFloat(), 2 , null, '.' ) ?></td>
    </tr>
  <?php endforeach ?>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>

If you don’t like the default preview, you can of course create your own preview as well.
