Neighbors

A statamic 2.0 tag pair to turn those replicator and bard sets into friendly neighbors. Hidey ho!

Copy Neighbors folder into /site/addons/.

Usage

When templating replicator and bard sets, I have often found myself wanting to be able to add some extra markup depending on what the previous or next set type is. Maybe text sets that come after pull quote sets should get some extra space, or I want to wrap all consecutive video sets in an extra div.

To use, replace the normal tag pair with the neighbors tags (basically just add "neighbors:" before the field name in both the opening and closing tags). Inside, these tags are available:

• {{ neighbors:next }}
  • returns the next set type
  • if there is no next set, returns null
• {{ neighbors:previous }}
  • returns the previous set type
  • if there is no previous set, returns null

A field paramater can be added to these tags to retrieve a value other than type:

• {{ neighbors:next field="section_title" }}
  • returns the next set section_title
  • if there is no next set or the next set does not have a section_title, returns null
