Simple Statamic Toolbar - a Statamic Addon

A lightweight Statamic addon that adds a floating toolbar to the frontend for logged-in users. Gives editors quick access to edit the current entry or jump to the Control Panel without leaving the page.

Features

Edit button — opens the current entry in the CP editor (shown when an edit_url is available)
Control Panel button — links to the CP dashboard
Collapsible — toggle open/closed with smooth animation
Static cache compatible — wrapped in {{ nocache }} tags
Logged-in users only — hidden from public visitors

Requirements

Statamic 6+
Alpine.js 3.x with the @alpinejs/collapse plugin
Tailwind CSS (the toolbar view uses Tailwind utility classes)

Installation

composer require chrisvasey/simple-statamic-toolbar

Alpine.js Collapse Plugin

The toolbar uses Alpine's collapse plugin for its slide animation. Install and register it in your JS entry point:

npm install @alpinejs/collapse

import Alpine from 'alpinejs'
import collapse from '@alpinejs/collapse'
 
Alpine.plugin(collapse)
 
window.Alpine = Alpine
Alpine.start()

Tailwind CSS

Add the addon's views to your Tailwind source paths so its utility classes are included in the build:

@source "../../vendor/chrisvasey/simple-statamic-toolbar/resources/views";

Include in Your Layout

Add the toolbar partial before </body> in your layout template:

{{ partial:simple-statamic-toolbar::components/toolbar }}

Then rebuild your frontend assets:

npm run build

Customisation

Publish the views to override the toolbar template:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=simple-statamic-toolbar-views

This copies the view to resources/views/vendor/simple-statamic-toolbar/ where you can modify it freely.

Testing

composer test
