README
This module allows setting a master to a control. Let's say you add a color control which should have the same value as its master until the user decides to overwrite it. That is basically what this is all about.
Requirements
- Kirki Framework >=4.0
 - WordPress >= 4.6
 
Which controls are supported
So far this is tested with the following Kirki Controls and should work with others out of the box, too:
- Color: https://github.com/kirki-framework/control-color/
 - Multicolor: https://github.com/kirki-framework/field-multicolor
 - Typography: https://github.com/kirki-framework/field-typography
 
How to set up Syncs
In general multiple controls can have the same "master". Just define sync-master within the input_attrs argument for each of them:
'input_attrs' => [
  'sync-master' => 'primary_color'
 ]
For the example above primary_color is the masters setting ID.
Special Case: Multicolor Field
Usage with: https://github.com/kirki-framework/field-multicolor
The Kirki Multicolor Field internally sets up multiple controls. It is up to you to set up a master for all colors at once or individually.
Set master for all color controls
You can do the above example for a Multicolor Field as well. So each color control of that will be synced to the master primary_color until its value is overwritten.
'input_attrs' => [
  'sync-master' => 'primary_color'
 ]
Set individual masters
Let's say you have set up the color controls like this:
'choices'   => [
  'color_1'   => esc_attr__( 'First Color', 'example' ),
  'color_2'   => esc_attr__( 'Second Color', 'example' ),
  'color_3'   => esc_attr__( 'Another Color', 'example' ),
],
So you can define for each choices individually which the sync master is.
'input_attrs' => [
  '{{ CHOICE ID }}' => [
    'sync-master' => '{{ MASTER ID }}',
  ],
  'color_2' => [
    'sync-master' => 'colors[primary]',
  ],
  'color_3' => [
    'sync-master' => 'colors[secondary]',
  ],
],
You could even define the master for all and make an exception for color_2.
'input_attrs' => [
  'sync-master' => 'colors[primary]',
  'color_2' => [
    'sync-master' => 'colors[secondary]',
  ],
],
color_1 and color_3 will have the same master colors[primary]. color_2 will be synced with colors[secondary].
Special Case: Typography Field
Usage with: https://github.com/kirki-framework/field-typography
The Typography Field is setting up multiple controls, too:
- 'font-family'
 - 'font-weight'
 - 'font-style'
 - 'font-size'
 - 'line-height'
 - 'letter-spacing'
 - 'word-spacing'
 - 'text-transform'
 - 'text-align'
 - 'margin-top'
 - 'margin-bottom'
 - 'color'
 
Currently you need to define each control you want to sync individually:
'input_attrs' => [
  'font-family' => [
    'data-sync-master' => 'another_typo_control[font-family]',
  ],
  'font-weight' => [
    'data-sync-master' => 'another_typo_control[font-weight]',
  ],
],
Sync indicator
Controls which have a master sync defined have an indicator appended to the label.
It is linked to focus the master control on a click and either labels AUTO as long as it is in sync or 'CUSTOM' if the value is overwritten.
