$field->toStructure()

Converts a yaml field to a Structure object

• kirby/config/methods.php#L252

$field->toStructure(): Kirby\Cms\Structure

Return type

Kirby\Cms\Structure

While the yaml method returns a simple associative PHP array for structured field content, the toStructure method gives you a full blown Kirby Collection which makes it possible to use Kirby's chaining syntax.
