Kitchen for Kirby 3

⚠️ This is beta software, use at you own risk! ⚠️

A complete recipe manager with knowledge base, we wrote for ourselves. This is currently more or less a semi-public plugin, as we cannot provide any support for it. But if you’re interested in using it on your site, feel free to use or adapt the code to your needs. But use at you own risk, of course ;-) If you got any idea of how this can be improved, feel free to create a ticket or pull request.

How it works

The plugin provides a set of templates that can be used as a starting point for your recipe collection, food blog or whatsoever. To start using the plugin, just tune the settings below to your needs, then go to the panel and create two new top-level pages:

• One or more pages with the recipes template. Each of these holds a recipe collection. For most users, one recipe directory should be enough. Note that having more than one recipe page
• If you want to use the knowledge-base, also create a page with the knowledge template. The knowledge base can be used to store information about different ingredients, preparation methods etc. There can only be one knowledge base on your site.

System Requirements

• Kirby 4.1.0+
• PHP 8.1+
• A locale must be set (for future versions)
• intl must be used as date formatter

Installation

composer require avoskitchen/kirby-kitchen

Available Options

Key	Type	Default	Description
fractions	bool	true	Uses fractions to transform values like 0.5 into ½ in the ingredients list. Disable, if this does not look well in your font.
decimals	int	2	Sets the number of decimals to be shown in the ingredients list, if odd numbers appear e.g. through changing the recipe yield.
decimalPoint	string	'.'	Sets the decimal point for ingredient amounts. Change this according to the language of your site.
thousandsSeparator	string	','	Sets the thousands separator for ingredient amounts. Change this according to the language of your site.

KirbyTags

Use the following Kirbytags to spice up your recipes:

(recipe: …)

Embeds a recipe (⚠️ not ready yet!)

Attributes

Name	Type	Required	Description
recipe	string	true	The slug of the target recipe. If you are linking from one recipe to another, the current recipe directory is used to search for the recipe. If you got multiple recipe directory and you are linking to a recipe from any other page, you have to specify the full slug of the recipe (e.g. (recipe: baking-recipes/cookies).
class	string	false	Additional CSS classes to add to the wrapper element.
title	string	false	Optional title attribute.

(term: …)

Inserts a link to a term page. This could be extended with a tooltip (like e.g. on Wikipedia) or additional features. Currently, it just provides a handier version of the link tag.

Attributes

Name	Type	Required	Description
term	string	true	Slug of the term page to link to
class	string	false	Additional CSS classes to add to the link element.
title	string	false	Optional title attribute.

Make it Yours

The Kitchen plugin comes with its own set of default templates, located in site/plugins/kitchen/templates. You can override these defaults by placing template files with the same name into site/templates/:

Template	Description
recipes.php	Displays all entries of the recipes database grouped by category.
recipe.php	Displays a single recipe.
knowledge.php	Displays all entries of the knowledge base grouped by category.
term.php	Displays a single term from the knowledge base.

You can also extend the plugin’s blueprints. Let’s say you want to extend the recipes blueprint; just create a new file site/blueprints/pages/recipes.yml and add a tab to the blueprint, containing your own field definitions:

extends: kitchen/pages/recipes
tabs:
  settings:
    label: Settings
    icon: settings
    fields:
      hero:
        label: Hero image
        type: files
        multiple: false
      …
