User methods

User methods are registered with the userMethods extension.

Default user methods

For a full list of default user methods, please check out the Reference.

Getting started

You can extend the set of defined user methods in a plugin file.

Kirby::plugin('my/plugin', [
    'userMethods' => [
        'fullname' => function () {
            // provided there are firstname and lastname fields in the user blueprints
            return $this->firstname() . ' ' . $this->lastname();
        }
    ]
]);

This example shows the basic architecture of a user method. You define the method name with the key for the userMethods extension array. $this in the callback function refers to the $user object.

Working with method arguments

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

You can define arguments for a method like this:

Kirby::plugin('my/plugin', [
    'userMethods' => [
        'greetUser' => function ($text = 'Hello') {
            return $text . ', ' . $this->username();
        }
    ]
]);

And then use it like this:

<?= $user->greetUser('Dear') ?>
