Trying to make a navigation link extension but can't use my newly added fields in my twig function.
Created 7 years ago by edster

In my twig macro I am trying to use link.mega or link.getMega(), neither are returning anything but null.

In my Extension.php file I have

**
     * This extension provides the TEXT
     * link type for the Navigation module.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $provides = 'anomaly.module.navigation::link_type.text';

    /**
     * Return the entry title.
     *
     * @param  LinkInterface $link
     * @return string
     */
    public function title(LinkInterface $link)
    {
        return $link->getEntry()->getTitle();
    }

    /**
     * Return the entry mega bool.
     *
     * @param  LinkInterface $link
     * @return string
     */
    public function mega(LinkInterface $link)
    {
        return $link->getEntry()->getMega();
    }

    /**
     * Return the entry break bool.
     *
     * @param  LinkInterface $link
     * @return string
     */
    public function break(LinkInterface $link)
    {
        return $link->getEntry()->getBreak();
    }

    /**
     * Return the form builder for
     * the link type entry.
     *
     * @return FormBuilder
     */
    public function builder()
    {
        return app(TextNavTypeFormBuilder::class);
    }

However, if I use dd($link->getEntry()->getMega()); in the title function, I get the value I am looking for. Any help on what I am prob missing? I have tried extending bot h the LinkInterface and the LinkTypeInterface in trying to figure it out but didn't get anywhere.

Have you tried {{ link.entry.mega }} or something similar? Use {{ dd($var) }} to figure out what you are getting in the view.

No I didn't try it with entry, didn't. Think I needed to as I assumed it wouldn't need entry as title / url etc were all link.something.

Ill give it a go as soon as I can this morning. I tried to dd(link) bit couldn't find the e try in there which is why I am assuming I cant find it.
