How can I create an own registry set of files or folder?

The CMS Questions
1

For example the Modules plugin by @lukasbestle are creating an own registry set. How is that done? I could not figure it out. A simple example without distractions would be awesome.

This is what I might have as a starting point:

$kirby->set('my_custom_set', 'my_set_name', $my_set_path);

Update

Maybe something like this:

class MyCustomClass extends Entry {
  public function set($name, $path) {
  }
  public function get($name = null) {
  }
}

I’ll try more tomorrow…

You only need a class in the Kirby\Registry namespace. This class needs to be loaded or registered in an autoloader. This is the Module registry.

I had the same problem before I looked at the registry code and realized what @lukasbestle said. I found it a bit weird, so I ended up “projecting” my registry into the Kirby\registry namespace by extending my actual registry implementation as seen in the Constructs plugin.

Added to the unofficial docs

Thanks! Now we have an inofficial documentation about it: https://github.com/jenstornell/kirby-secrets/wiki/Extension-registry

Added to Bricks plugin

I’ve also added this great feature to Bricks: https://github.com/jenstornell/kirby-bricks/blob/master/docs/registry.md

I need it myself when I’m building Bricks UI, to get access to Bricks snippet controllers.

That’s of course possible but not necessary. :slight_smile:
