Configuration
Key Example Description

default_value

anomaly.module.files

The default value.

module

If defined only addons of the specified type will be displayed. Valid options are module, field_type, plugin, module, and extension.

theme_type

handler

code>Example/Test/MyOptions@handle

Handlers let you override control of the options logic.

Option Handlers

Option handlers are responsible for setting the available options on the field type. You can define your own option handler to add your own logic to available dropdown options.

You can define custom handlers as a callable string where @handle will be assumed if no method is provided:

"handler" => /Example/Test/CustomOptions::class // Assumes @handle

Option handlers can also a handler with a closure:

"handler" => function (AddonFieldType $fieldType, ExampleModule $module) {
    $fieldType->setOptions(
        [
            "anomaly.module.example" => $module->getName()
        ]
    );
}
**Remember:** Closures can not be stored in the database so your closure type handlers must be set / overridden from the form builder.
Writing Option Handlers

Writing custom option handlers is easy. To begin create a class with the method you defined in the config option.

"handler" => "App/Example/MyOptions@handle"

The callable string is called via Laravel's service container. The AddonFieldType $fieldType is passed as an argument.

**Pro Tip:** Handlers are called through Laravel's service container so method and class injection is supported.
<?php namespace App/Example;

class MyOptions
{
    public function handle(AddonFieldType $fieldType)
    {
        $fieldType->setOptions(
            [
                "anomaly.module.example" => 'Example'
            ]
        );
    }
}
