Kirby PHP Blueprint Loader Plugin
=================================

[](#kirby-php-blueprint-loader-plugin)

Start using PHP blueprints in your `site` folder today!

> ⚡ Ready for Kirby 4!

---

🚀 How to use
------------

[](#-how-to-use)

Kirby lets you use PHP-based blueprints in plugins, e.g. to use different blueprints for different user roles. This is thoroughly described [in Sonja's fantastic cook book article](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/development-deployment/programmable-blueprints). Unfortunately, this does not work with the native `blueprints` folder, usually residing in `site/blueprints`.

After installing this plugin, you can start using PHP-based blueprints in `site/blueprints` folder, just like you would in plugins!

```
// site/blueprints/pages/blueprint.php

$user = kirby()->user();

$fields = [
    // Field config for all users
];

if ($user->isAdmin()) {
    $fields = [
      // Admins should have a separate set of fields
    ];
}

return [
    'title' => 'PHP-based blueprint',
    'fields' => $fields,
]
```

> ⚠️ Any existing YAML blueprint under the same name will be overwritten.

💻 How to install
----------------

[](#-how-to-install)

Install this plugin via **Composer**:

```
composer require presprog/kirby-php-blueprint-loader
```

Or **download the ZIP file** from GitHub and unpack it to `site/plugins/php-blueprint-loader`
