Template Tools
==============

[](#template-tools)

[![version 2.0.0](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/1982e7c2bb4f616c9bd86ee7d550184cfdc6a2bd33191d49fa48d6112889461c/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f76657273696f6e2d322e302e302d627269676874677265656e2e737667)](https://github.com/mrnebbi/craft-template-tools)

A Craft plugin to provide twig filters to help with template building.

---

Please note: As of version 2.0, I've removed the Query Strings functionality from template tools. Please use my [Query Strings plugin](https://github.com/mrnebbi/craft-query-strings).

---

firstTag
--------

[](#firsttag)

Easily add a class, ID, or other attribute to the first element of a specific type. Useful for adding a class to the first paragraph.

### Add a class

[](#add-a-class)

```
{{ content|firstTag('classname') }}

```

By default this adds a class name to the first P tag. Add a `.` or `#` to set an ID or Class.

### Add an ID

[](#add-an-id)

```
{{ content|firstTag('#idname') }}

```

### Add to a non paragraph

[](#add-to-a-non-paragraph)

Sets a class name or ID to the first tag of a type specified by you. e.g.

```
{{ content|firstTag('classname','h2') }}

```

Add a `.` or `#` to set an ID or Class.

### Add custom attribute and value to a non paragraph

[](#add-custom-attribute-and-value-to-a-non-paragraph)

Sets a value for a specified attribute to the first tag of a type specified by you.

```
{{ content|firstTag('slider1','img','data-slider') }}

```

```
{{ content|firstTag('lead','h2','data-heading') }}

```

getFirstParagraph
-----------------

[](#getfirstparagraph)

Retrieve the first paragraph from content.

### Get paragraph only

[](#get-paragraph-only)

```
{{ content|getFirstParagraph }}

```

### Get paragraph and remove P tags

[](#get-paragraph-and-remove-p-tags)

Add a flag of true to remove the P tags from the content.

```
{{ content|getFirstParagraph(true) }}

```

wrapLinesInTag
--------------

[](#wraplinesintag)

This wraps any lines in multiline text in a tag of your choosing.

```
{{ content|wrapLinesInTag('span') }}

```

preserveQueryStrings
--------------------

[](#preservequerystrings)

Removed Query Strings functionality. Please use my [Query Strings plugin](https://github.com/mrnebbi/craft-query-strings).

The Preserve Query String filter allows you to add `|preserveQueryStrings` to any URL output in twig, and it will keep the query strings as they should appear in the URL.

getQueryStrings
---------------

[](#getquerystrings)

Removed Query Strings functionality. Please use my [Query Strings plugin](https://github.com/mrnebbi/craft-query-strings).

Pull an array of query strings from Craft. This gets around the problem of duplicated query string keys being lost, turning them into an array you can loop through.

An array will be returned with objects. Use `.key` and `.value`.
