Collections Fieldtype

Allows you to choose one or more collections.

Usage#

This fieldtype is used to view and select from a list of Collections.

fields:
  my_collections_field:
    type: collections

The Collections fieldtype is a Relationship fieldtype, and will save the collections as their handles (the folder name).

listings:
  - blog
  - things

You're more than likely using this field as a way to dynamically display a collection.

Since the collection tag accepts a pipe-delimited list of collection names, you can join them together like this:

<ul>
  {{ collection from="{listings|piped}" }}
    <li>{{ title }}</li>
  {{ /collection }}
</ul>

You can pass the values from the collections fieldtype to the collection tag like so:

<ul>
	<statamic:collection
		:from="$listings ?? []"
	>
		<li>{{ $title }}</li>
	</statamic:collection>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li>A blog entry</li>
  <li>A thing entry</li>
  <li>etc</li>
</ul>

integer

The maximum number of items that may be selected. Setting this to 1 will change the UI to a dropdown.
