Blocks methods

Blocks methods are registered with the blocksMethods extension.

Default blocks methods

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

Be aware that you cannot override these default blocks methods with any custom blocks method.

Getting started

You can extend the set of defined blocks methods very easily in a plugin file.

/site/plugins/blocks-methods/index.php

Kirby::plugin('my/blocksMethods', [
    'blocksMethods' => [
        'wrap' => function () {
            return '<div class="blocks-wrapper">' . $this->toHtml() . '</div>';
        }
    ]
]);

This example shows the basic architecture of a blocks method. You define the method name with the key for the blocksMethods array. $this in the callback function is the $blocks collection.

The blocks method can be used afterwards in your code:

<?= $page->text()->toBlocks()->wrap() ?>

Working with method arguments

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

<?= $page->text()->toBlocks()->wrap('custom-wrapper-class') ?>

The definition for such a method with arguments is very simple:

Kirby::plugin('my/blocksMethods', [
    'blocksMethods' => [
        'wrap' => function ($className = 'blocks-wrapper') {
            return '<div class="' . $className . '">' . $this->toHtml() . '</div>';
        }
    ]
]);
