FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package kirby-type-methods
Type Methods helps to identify the type of an object, either page, user or file, in order to simplify logic in snippets that – for instance – handle content from both $page and $user objects.
Examples
Think of site where you want to list members. Member information is either stored with the Kirby users (for admins) or on pages (for regular members). Given you have an array of all members, containing either user or page objects, type methods will help you to identify the source:
There is also a shortcut to check the given template or role respectively:
Using isType() is both shorter than checking intendedTemplate or role and also doesn’t require you to check first which object you are dealing with (page or user).
Installation
By default, plugins in Kirby reside in a special folder located at /site/plugins. Each plugin is installed in its proprietary subfolder. This installation can be handled in four different ways: you can either install them manually or manage them using Kirby CLI, Git submodules or Composer. You can install Type Methods either way and should choose the method suiting your project best.
Please note that all examples given here assume you are using the default plugin root. If you changed your plugin root, e. g. with a custom folder setup, you’ll also have to adjust the paths given in this guide. For further information on how to manage plugins, please read the official Kirby plugin introduction.
