Usage

Create your tests as snippets in /site/snippets/playground/
Access your tests at /playground/[component-name]

For example, if you have a snippet named buttons.php, it will be available at /playground/buttons.

Features

Custom route handling for /playground/(:any?) that can optionally be restricted to logged-in users
Components are rendered through virtual pages, without requiring actual page files
Loads CSS files from assets/css/playground/[component-name].css and a global playground.css
Built-in fallback to a component list when accessing non-existent components
Placeholder helpers for lorem ipsum text and images

Placeholder Content

Generate placeholder content directly in your playground snippets (or anywhere else) by using the Playground class:

use Medienbaecker\Playground;

Text

Playground::text([
    // word count (default: 20)
    'words' => 50,
    'words' => [30, 60],

    // wrap in <p> tags (default: false)
    'paragraphs' => false,
    'paragraphs' => true,
    'paragraphs' => 3,
    'paragraphs' => [2, 5],

    // insert random <a> tags (default: false)
    'links' => false,
    'links' => true,
    'links' => 2,
    'links' => [1, 3],

    // insert random <strong> tags (default: false)
    'bold' => false,
    'bold' => true,
    'bold' => 1,
    'bold' => [1, 2],

    // insert random <em> tags (default: false)
    'italic' => false,
    'italic' => true,
    'italic' => 1,
    'italic' => [1, 3],

    // start with (default: 'Lorem ipsum ')
    'prefix' => 'Lorem ipsum ',
    'prefix' => false,

    // end with (default: '.')
    'suffix' => '.',
    'suffix' => false,
])

For names, titles, or other non-sentence content, set prefix and suffix to false (or null or ''):

Playground::text(['words' => 5, 'prefix' => false, 'suffix' => false])

This way you will get random words, not starting with Lorem ipsum and not ending with a period.

Images

Returns virtual Kirby File objects with full thumb support. Images are downloaded from picsum.photos and cached locally.

// Seeded image (recommended - cached locally)
Playground::image('hero')  // shorthand
Playground::image(['seed' => 'hero'])
Playground::image(['seed' => 'card', 'width' => 400, 'height' => 300])

// Specific image by picsum ID
Playground::image(['id' => 237])

// Multiple images
Playground::images(6, ['seed' => 'gallery'])  // gallery-0, gallery-1, ...
Playground::images(4, ['width' => 400, 'height' => 300, 'seed' => 'thumbs'])

// Random image (downloads fresh each page load - slow!)
Playground::image()
Playground::images(6)

// With file content (alt, caption, etc.)
Playground::image(['seed' => 'hero', 'content' => ['alt' => 'Hero image', 'caption' => Playground::text(['words' => 10])]])

Use seeds for fast page loads. Unseeded images download from picsum.photos on every request. Seeded images are cached locally after the first download.

Full thumb support:

Playground::image('hero')->thumb('card')
Playground::image('test')->crop(200, 200)

Images are cached in media/plugins/kirby-playground/source/. Clear the media folder to re-download.
