Files methods

Files methods are registered with the filesMethods extension.

Default files methods

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

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

Getting started

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

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

Kirby::plugin('my/plugin', [
    'filesMethods' => [
        'listAll' => function () {
            foreach($this as $file) {
                echo '- ' . $file->filename() . '<br>';
            }
        }
    ]
]);

This example shows the basic architecture of a files method. You define the method name with the key for the filesMethods extension array. $this in the callback function is the $files object.

Working with method arguments

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

<?php if($files->moreThan($num)) : ?>
  Page has more then $num files.
<?php endif ?>

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

Kirby::plugin('my/plugin', [
    'filesMethods' => [
        'moreThan' => function ($num) {
            return $files->count() > $num;
        }
    ]
]);
