What are blocks?
When you want to work with the content of a Blocks field, you would use the toBlocks
field method to convert it to a Blocks collection - a collection of Kirby\Cms\Block
objects. The Blocks collection makes it easy to render the entire set of blocks or loop through blocks and create individual HTML for them.
Blocks in your templates
If you don't want to care about the HTML for each individual block, you can echo the entire blocks collection to render all blocks.
Looping through blocks
Looping through blocks to control their HTML can be very powerful. You can assign custom CSS classes, IDs for links and more.
You don't need to render the HTML for each individual block in the loop though. You can wrap the block with your custom HTML and then echo the $block
object to render the matching block snippet.
Manually loading snippets
Sometimes you might wish to customize the way block snippets are loaded. Maybe you want to inject more snippet variables.
… or load snippets from a different location …
