README

The Views module (views) allows dynamic data from modules to be displayed in content zones.

Modules usually define three view types: home, list and view. The home view displays a small number of records on an home page. The list view displays a list of records and comes with a pagination to browse through older or newer records. Finally, the view view displays the detail of a record.

Events

Views were collected

The Icybee\Modules\Views\Collection::collect event of class Collection\CollectEvent is fired after the views defined by the enabled modules have been collected. Event hooks may used this event to alter the collection.

Records fetched by the provided are altered

The Icybee\Modules\Views\View::alter_records:before event of class View\BeforeAlterRecords is fired before the records fetched by the provider are altered by the alter_records method of the view.
