Kirby Helpers
=============

[](#kirby-helpers)

A comprehensive toolkit that extends Kirby CMS with essential development utilities. This plugin consolidates commonly needed functionality into a single, well-integrated package, eliminating the need for multiple separate plugins.

Why Kirby Helpers?
------------------

[](#why-kirby-helpers)

Building modern Kirby websites often requires the same set of tools: environment variable management, SEO meta tags, XML sitemaps, URL redirects, and modern build tool integration. Instead of installing and configuring multiple plugins, Kirby Helpers provides these essential features in one cohesive package, designed to work seamlessly together.

Features
--------

[](#features)

### ⚡️ Environment Variables

[](#️-environment-variables)

Load `.env` files automatically and access variables through a global `env()` helper function. Perfect for managing API keys, database credentials, and environment-specific settings securely.

```
// .env file support with fallbacks
$apiKey = env('STRIPE_SECRET_KEY', 'fallback-key');
```

### 🧭 XML Sitemaps
