A really simple plugin that allows you to manage and show small content blocks.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require ciricihq/blocks

```

You then need to load the plugin. You can use the shell command:

```
bin/cake plugin load Cirici/Blocks

```

or by manually adding statement shown below to your app's `config/bootstrap.php`:

```
Plugin::load('Cirici/Blocks');
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

There's a Trait that does all the job, and we've created a `BlockHelper` and a `BlockComponent` so you can use them easily on your CakePHP app.

To start using them, just load whatever class you want.

For the `BlockHelper`, on your `AppView`'s initialize method, add:

```
// src/View/AppView.php
public function initialize()
{
    $this->loadHelper('Cirici/Blocks.Block');
}
```

For the `BlockComponent`, on your `AppController`'s initialize:

```
// src/Controller/AppController.php
public function initialize()
{
    $this->loadComponent('Cirici/Blocks.Block');
}
```

### Methods

[](#methods)

Right now there are just two methods available (as said, this plugin is really simple):

- `get`: retrieves the entire Block entity by its slug.
- `getContents`: just returns the Block's `content` field contents.

Patches & Features
----------------------

[](#patches--features)

- Fork
- Mod, fix
- Test - this is important, so it's not unintentionally broken
- Commit - do not mess with license, todo, version, etc. (if you do change any, bump them into commits of their own that I can ignore when I pull)
- Pull request - bonus point for topic branches
