Kirby Icon Field Banner

Kirby Icon Field

A simple Icon field for Kirby – throw your Icon pack in a folder, add the field to your blueprints and you’re good to go.

? This plugin is untested on Kirby < v4-alpha.2 so far and might not work as expected. I don’t plan on adding support for Kirby 3 versions (except if provided with a PR).

Installation

Recommended: Composer

composer require tobimori/kirby-icon-field

Manual installation

Download and copy this repository to /site/plugins/kirby-icon-field, or apply this repository as Git submodule.

Usage

This plugin relies on having your SVG icons as separate files in a folder for display in the panel – of course you’re free to do whatever you want with the field’s value in your templates.

Your icons should use currentcolor for defining the color of a fill/stroke so they can inherit the correct color from the panel.

Add the field to your blueprint:

fields:
  icon:
    label: Icon
    type: icon
    folder: assets/icons # path to your icon folder, relative to the `index` kirby root
    max: 1 # max number of icons to select - 1 will look like a 'select field', none or more like a 'multiselect' field
    # [more settings...] - same as multi-select field, e.g. disabling search, limiting icons, etc.

Use the field value in your panel

<?= svg('/assets/icons/' . $page->icon()) ?>

Options

Option Default Description
cache true Enable cache for reading from icons directory
folder assets/icon Default folder for icon field, can also be a function

Options allow you to fine tune the behaviour of the plugin. You can set them in your config.php file:

return [
    'tobimori.icon-field' => [
        'cache' => true,
        'folder' => 'assets/icon'
    ],
];
