Theme extensions

Menu extensions

There are currently three menu extensions available, one is to get the active menu item, one to check if the given menu item is the active menu item and one to check if the given menu item has a child which is the active item.

getActiveMenuItem

This extension gives you access to the currently active menu item based on its route. It is simply invoked by calling $this->getActiveMenuItem() in your theme. It returns an instance of MenuItem .

isActiveMenuItem

This extension allows you to check if any menu item is the currently active menu item based on its route. It is simply invoked by calling $this->isActiveMenuItem($menuItem) in your theme. It returns a boolean indicating whether the menu item you gave is active or not.

isChildActiveMenuItem

This extension allows you to check if any menu item is the currently active menu item based on its route. It is simply invoked by calling $this->isActiveMenuItem($menuItem) in your theme. It returns a boolean indicating whether the menu item you gave is active or not.

File extensions

There are two file extensions as of now. Both of them are used to render resolution dependent images. Either using a picture tag or using the srcset attribute of either img or picture tags.

srcset and sizes

This extension automatically creates the needed value for the srcset attribute of img tags. The srcset functions takes a File as parameter. It also accepts an optional parameter to convert the image to a different file type. The parameter is of type ImageType .

To make browsers pick up the proper file, you also have to use the sizes function.

Check below to see how to use them:

<img srcset="<?= $this->srcset($file, \App\Utils\ImageType::Webp) ?>" sizes="<?= $this->sizes() ?>">

pictureSources

This extension gives you a simple way to generate a variety of source tags for a give file. The extension takes a File and image types. The image types are values of the ImageType enum. Possible values are as follows:

\App\Utils\ImageType::Webp
\App\Utils\ImageType::Png
\App\Utils\ImageType::Jpg
\App\Utils\ImageType::Gif
\App\Utils\ImageType::Bmp

Check below to see how to use it:

<picture>
    <?= $this->pictureSources($file, \App\Utils\ImageType::Webp, \App\Utils\ImageType::Png) ?>
</picture>

This code generates the following html code:

<picture>
