[](#usage)

This should give you a comprehensive view of how to create meta boxes with fields, where you can specify not only the fields themselves but also where these meta boxes should appear.

### Simple Example

[](#simple-example)

```
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\MetaBox\MetaBoxBuilder;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\TextField;

$fields = [
    new TextField('text_field_name', 'Text Field')
];

$metaBox = MetaBoxBuilder::make('custom_meta_box_id', 'Advanced Custom Meta Box', $fields, 'post');
```

### Using Multiple Field Types

[](#using-multiple-field-types)

```
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\MetaBox\MetaBoxBuilder;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\TextField;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\TextareaField;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\URLField;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\NumberField;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\SelectField;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\CheckboxField;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\ImageField;

$fields = [
    new TextField('company_name', 'Company Name'),
    new TextareaField('description', 'Description', rows: 6),
    new URLField('website', 'Website URL'),
    new NumberField('rating', 'Rating', min: 0, max: 5, step: 0.1),
    new SelectField('status', 'Status', [
        'active'   => 'Active',
        'inactive' => 'Inactive',
    ]),
    new CheckboxField('featured', 'Featured'),
    new ImageField('logo', 'Logo'),
];

$metaBox = MetaBoxBuilder::make('company_details', 'Company Details', $fields, 'post');
```

### Restricting to a Specific Page

[](#restricting-to-a-specific-page)

```
$metaBox = MetaBoxBuilder::make('page_settings', 'Page Settings', $fields, 'page', $page_id);
```

Retrieving Data
---------------

[](#retrieving-data)

Get the saved data by calling the WordPress `get_post_meta` function:

```
$field_value = get_post_meta($post_id, 'text_field_name', true);
```
