[![Shortcode field example](screenshots/shortcode-field-example.png)](screenshots/shortcode-field-example.png)

A quick way to create custom shortcodes in Silverstripe.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require goldfinch/shortcode
```

Available Taz commands
----------------------

[](#available-taz-commands)

If you haven't used [**Taz**](https://github.com/goldfinch/taz)🌪️ before, *taz* file must be presented in your root project folder `cp vendor/goldfinch/taz/taz taz`

---

> Create new shortcode

```
php taz make:shortcode
```

Use Case example
----------------

[](#use-case-example)

Let's create a few shortcodes, single **hr** that will display `` tag and closable **st** that wraps text `text` and makes it bold

#### 1. Create shortcodes

[](#1-create-shortcodes)

```
php taz make:shortcode hr
php taz make:shortcode st
```

#### 2. Edit templates

[](#2-edit-templates)

Taz registered our shortcodes for us and created templates `hr.ss` and `st.ss` stored in `our_theme/templates/Shortcodes/`. We can update them as needed.

#### 3. Set DB type

[](#3-set-db-type)

Assuming that we want `Title` in our `DataObject` to support shortcodes, we need to use `SCVarchar` instead of `Varchar`

```
private static $db = [
    'Title' => 'SCVarchar',
];
```

All done, we now can check the output of `$Title` in our template to see the result.
