Build your own custom link types

Templating

The field value will either be null or an instance of Link Type Interface.

{{ element.fieldHandle.getHtml()|raw }}

Render a pre-constructed link with overrides:

{{ element.fieldHandle.getHtml({
    text: 'Text Override'
})|raw }}

Render a pre-constructed link with additional attributes:

{{ element.fieldHandle.getHtml({
    class: "bg-blue hover:bg-blue-dark text-white font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded",
    rel: "noopener noreferrer",
    onclick: "return confirm('Are you sure?')"

First Party Link Types

The following first party link types are supported:

Element: Asset
Element: Category
Element: Entry
Element: User
HTTP/HTTPS

Third Party Link Types

Including a custom link type is easy:

Create a new link type class. The class must implement: flipbox\craft\link\types\TypeInterface (Ref: Link Type Interface)

There are two abstract link types to help you get started:
- \flipbox\craft\link\types\AbstractType (Ref: Abstract Link Type)
- \flipbox\craft\link\types\AbstractElement (Ref: Abstract Element Link Type)
Register the link type class. Example:

\yii\base\Event::on(
    \flipbox\craft\link\Link::class,
    \flipbox\craft\link\Link::EVENT_REGISTER_TYPES,
    function(RegisterLinkTypes $event) {
        $event->types[] = YourLinkType::class; // Replace this with your link type class
    }
);
