1. Use Case

A developer wishes to make a meta_description field allowing the user customize the page meta description for better seo. The default fallback value would be from the $page->lede(). In this case it would be nice to be able to show the user data from the $page->lede() field as a placeholder value so the user can see what the fallback value would be.

2. Installation

Download and copy this repository to /site/plugins/kirby3-text-proxy-field

Alternatively, you can install it with composer: composer require apecave/kirby3-text-proxy-field

3. Configuration

The blueprint field would look something like this:

fields:
  meta_description:
    type: text-proxy
    placeholder: page.lede()

4. Template Usage

The header code of the page we could do something like:

$meta_description = $page->meta_description()->or( $page->lede() );
