Wikipedia-Field
===============

[](#wikipedia-field)

Use Wikipedia as the source for your content.

Config
------

[](#config)

You can configure the cache time by adding the `wikipedia` settings to the `fields` key in your `config/lit.php`

```
'fields' => [
    // ...
    'wikipedia' => [
        'cache_ttl' => 60 * 60 * 24,
    ],
],
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The wikipedia formfield is used as follows:

```
$form->wikipedia('wiki');
```

In your Model you need to provide a json column wich is cast properly:

```
// in your model
protected $casts = [
    'wiki' => 'json',
];
```

If you want to disable the `section` or `chars` inputs you can do it as follows:

```
$form->wikipedia('wiki')->section(false)->chars(false);
```

### Displaying Content

[](#displaying-content)

In order to load the content of a wikipedia article you can use the `Wikipedia` facade.

```
// will output the first 'intro' section of the article
Wikipedia::load('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP');
```

You can also select a specific section:

```
// will output the 'Mascot' section.
Wikipedia::load('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP', 'Mascot');
```

You might as well set a maximum amout of characters:

```
// will output the first 100 chars of the 'Mascot' section.
Wikipedia::load('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP', 'Mascot', 100);
```
