hananils/missing-link
=====================

Unlike collection and controllers, Kirby only allows for the creation of custom methods via plugins. Methods Folder bridges this gap by automatically registering methods located in site/methods. In additon to all methods types, it also provides a way to register helper functions via a dedicated file.
