README

Kirby Plates

Note

This plugin is in maintenance mode and only gets security fixes. It supports Kirby 3, 4 and 5. It does not support Kirby 6.

Since Kirby 3.9, Kirby's own snippets with slots and layout snippets cover most of what Plates layouts and sections do. Kirby 6 adds the push() and stack() helpers for things like scripts and styles.

This package enable Plates that Native PHP template engine/system for your own Kirby applications.

All the documentation about Plates template engine is in the official documentation.
