Carbon Fields Smart Link Field
==============================

[](#carbon-fields-smart-link-field)

This field allows you to select between internal and external links, choosing from a dropdown of Posts and Archives for internal links or manually entering a URL for external.

This repository is based on [htmlburger/carbon-fields-template](https://github.com/htmlburger/carbon-field-template).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require evanshunt/carbon-fields-smartlink

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Carbon_Fields\Field\Field;

...

Field::make('smartlink', 'your_field_name', 'Your Field Name');

```

TODO
----

[](#todo)

1. Build in logic to neatly upgrade from a text URL field, redefining such as an external link.
2. Add support for taxonomies, etc.

Building assets
---------------

[](#building-assets)

1. Edit `webpack.config.js` and make sure `const root` points to the directory where Carbon Fields are installed (e.g. `const root = path.resolve(__dirname, '../vendor/includes/htmlburger/carbon-fields');` )
2. Execute `yarn install` in the root directory to install all build process requirements.
3. Execute `yarn build` to build the final minimized assets

### Optional

[](#optional)

Execute `yarn run dev` to continuously build assets during development. Note that you should add `define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );` to your `wp-config.php` file in order to load the files generated by the dev build process.
