Snippet for Kirby
=================

[](#snippet-for-kirby)

Adds controllers to [Kirby](https://getkirby.com) snippets.

General
-------

[](#general)

Brings Kirby’s mechanism for [template controllers](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/templates/controllers) to [snippets](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/templates/snippets) and [blocks](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/page-builder/block-basics#custom-block-types__custom-block-type-snippet). This provides a unified and consistent way to offload logic and prepare data for cleaner templates and snippets.

### How it works

[](#how-it-works)

The plugin uses Kirby’s [native features](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/objects/toolkit/controller) and [extension points](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/plugins/components/snippet). It looks for a controller whenever a snippet is called, and passes the resulting controller data to the snippet.

Since blocks are also just rendered as snippets under the hood, this works for blocks as well.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require kenshodigital/kirby-snippet ^1.0
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Snippet controllers are loaded from a `snippets` folder under the [configured root for controllers](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/system/roots/controllers).

Just as [template controllers and templates](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/templates/controllers#the-controllers-directory), snippet controllers are identified by the same filename as their corresponding snippets.

SnippetSnippet Controller`/site/snippets/article.php``/site/controllers/snippets/article.php``/site/snippets/blocks/video.php``/site/controllers/snippets/blocks/video.php`As usual, snippet controllers are [anonymous functions](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/templates/controllers#creating-a-controller) that receive the [snippet data](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/templates/snippets#passing-variables-to-snippets) as arguments and return variables as an associative array. The resulting controller data is then merged with the original snippet data, before everything is passed to the snippet.
