Default files methods

For a full list of default files methods, please check out the cheat sheet. Be aware that you cannot override these default files methods with any custom files method.

Getting started

You can extend the set of defined files methods very easily. The best place to do this is in a plugin file: /site/plugins/files-methods.php

files::$methods['listAll'] = function($files) {
  foreach($files as $file) {
    echo '- ' . $file->filename() . '<br>';
  }
};

This example shows the basic architecture of a files method. You define the method name with the key for the files::$methods array. The callback function receives the $files object as first argument.

Working with method arguments

In some cases it might be helpful to be able to pass arguments to the method:

<?php if($files->moreThan($num)) : ?>
  Page has more then $num files.
<?php endif ?>

The definition for such a method with arguments is very simple:

files::$methods['moreThan'] = function($files, $num) {
    return $files->count() > $num;
};
