Features
--------

[](#features)

[Link](https://plugins.craftcms.com/link) is the most robust and configurable 'link' field type for Craft CMS. Built with the content publisher in mind, [Link](https://plugins.craftcms.com/link) is has an intuitive, easy to configure interface that enables admins to build a field precisely to their requirements.

Here are some of the features at a glance:

- Multiple link types per field

- Specify element sources to restrict available elements
- Add and link to new elements without leaving the page
- Simple rendering with overrides
- [Build your own custom link types](#third-party-link-types)

### Templating

[](#templating)

The field value will either be `null` or an instance of [Link Type Interface](https://github.com/flipboxfactory/craft-link/blob/master/src/types/TypeInterface.php).

Render a pre-constructed link:

```
{{ element.fieldHandle.getHtml()|raw }}
```

Render a pre-constructed link with overrides:

```
{{ element.fieldHandle.getHtml({
    text: 'Text Override'
})|raw }}
```

Render a pre-constructed link with additional attributes:

```
{{ element.fieldHandle.getHtml({
    class: "bg-blue hover:bg-blue-dark text-white font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded",
    rel: "noopener noreferrer",
    onclick: "return confirm('Are you sure?')"
})|raw }}
```

Build your own link:

```
{{ element.fieldHandle.text }}
```

### First Party Link Types

[](#first-party-link-types)

The following first party link types are supported:

- Element: Asset
- Element: Category
- Element: Entry
- Element: User
- HTTP/HTTPS

### Third Party Link Types

[](#third-party-link-types)

Including a custom link type is easy:

1. Create a new link type class. The class must implement: `flipbox\craft\link\types\TypeInterface` (Ref: [Link Type Interface](https://github.com/flipboxfactory/craft-link/blob/master/src/types/TypeInterface.php))

    *There are two abstract link types to help you get started:*

    - `\flipbox\craft\link\types\AbstractType` (Ref: [Abstract Link Type](https://github.com/flipboxfactory/craft-link/blob/master/src/types/AbstractType.php))
    - `\flipbox\craft\link\types\AbstractElement` (Ref: [Abstract Element Link Type](https://github.com/flipboxfactory/craft-link/blob/master/src/types/AbstractElement.php))
2. Register the link type class. Example:

```
\yii\base\Event::on(
    \flipbox\craft\link\Link::class,
    \flipbox\craft\link\Link::EVENT_REGISTER_TYPES,
    function(RegisterLinkTypes $event) {
        $event->types[] = YourLinkType::class; // Replace this with your link type class
    }
);
```
