To do that, it uses [kirby-variables](https://github.com/OblikStudio/kirby-variables) to put those variables in YAML files so they're easy to work with. [![Variables editor](editor.png)](editor.png) ⚠ Deprecated ------------ [](#-deprecated) You gain very little by putting variables in separate files and managing them differently to other fields. It's much easier to just use text fields. For details, check the deprecated [oblik/kirby-variables](https://github.com/OblikStudio/kirby-variables#-deprecated) package. Installation ------------ [](#installation) With [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/oblik/kirby-variables-field): ``` composer require oblik/kirby-variables-field ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) In a blueprint, simply add a new field and set its type to `variables`: ``` fields: vars: type: variables label: Variables ``` This will create an editor for all variables where you can add, remove, and sort them. **Note:** This is a "fake" field and no actual value will be saved in the site/page txt file. All values are saved in the YAML files where the variables reside so it doesn't matter what field name you choose. Options ------- [](#options) ### `variable` [](#variable) You can specify exactly which variable you want to be editable. For example, if you have this in *bg.yml*: ``` test: Тест greetings: hello: Здравей ``` ...and this in your blueprint: ``` myfield: type: variables variable: greetings.hello label: Hello ``` ...you'll get the following result: [![Single variable field](field.png)](field.png) In the case above, if you want editors to be able to add new entries in the `greetings` group, you can simply change: ``` variable: greetings.hello ``` ...to: ``` variable: greetings ``` This will show the variable editor instead. ### `editor` [](#editor) When you haven't set a specific variable to edit and the editor is shown, you can configure it: ``` myfield: type: variables editor: sort: false mutate: false ``` This plugin uses the JSON editor Vue component provided by the [kirby-json](https://github.com/OblikStudio/kirby-json) dependency. Read what blueprint options it has [here](https://github.com/OblikStudio/kirby-json#field). KirbyTag -------- [](#kirbytag) This plugin also comes with a KirbyTag called `var`. It simply outputs a variable with a fallback default value. For example, in *en.yml*: ``` labels: test: Test ``` In your content: ``` This is the label (var: labels.test default: Default Value) ``` Result: ``` This is the label Test ``` This is useful because editors now can both set *and* use variables in the panel, which gives them the option to avoid repeating themselves in the content. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity18 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 88.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
