Array syntax in blueprints (filterBy method)

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
1

Hi folks,

I’ve done a few websites with kirby 3 but this is my first question. So thumbs up. Great work!

I was searching the whole docs about a general syntax about advanced queries in a blueprint file. In my case i need to filter files by extension.

Here is my example:

image:
  label: Bild
  type: files
  multiple: false
  query: page.files.filterBy('extension', 'in', array('jpg', 'svg'))
  required: true

The query is not working because the syntax “array” is not correct. Is it even possible to filter by array in blueprints?

Thanks for your help.

Will be in the upcoming Kirby 3.2 release.

Current solution: create a custom files method or a page model.

almost relevant: have you tried:

query: page.images

?

4 sure. But svgs are not images!

well, Kirby seems to consider them images: https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/blob/3.1.4/src/Toolkit/F.php#L71

Also: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml#image

But if you want only jpg and svg in particular, then using page.images doesn’t really do the job.

I’d create a custom page method/model customImages (or whatever) that returns a set of filtered images.

Kirby 3.2 is supposed to be published next week…

The Kirby Docs say:
What is an image file?
…
svg

Sorry rasteiner, svgs are images and show up if I use

query: page.images

But I remember used that in previous projects. Must be a bug in the panel.
