> If you're in search of an multi column input field and the storage of values in another table isn't an explicit requirement, we recommend to use [Multi Column Editor Bundle](https://github.com/heimrichhannot/contao-multi-column-editor-bundle) instead, as it has less possible side effects and is more often updated due it's higher usage.

FieldPalette is a contao widget similar to [MultiColumnWizard](https://github.com/menatwork/MultiColumnWizard).
Unlike MultiColumnWizard, fields are stored flatly into `tl_fieldpalette` table and synced with its parent field.

The fieldpalette configuration is based on Contao's [Data Container Arrays](https://docs.contao.org/books/api/dca/index.html).

## Technical instructions

### Install

```
composer require heimrichhannot/contao-fieldpalette-bundle
```

You need to updated the contao database updated.

### Getting started

FieldPalette comes with an custom input type `fieldpalette`. The configuration for this input type is done in the `fieldpalette` index of the field configuration array. You can customize your fieldpalette nearly as an "normal" dca configuration. When you finished setting up your fieldpalette input, you need to call the contao database tool to add the new fields to the table. See following example for a real world use case:

#### Default Setup (`tl_fieldpalette` table)

This example shows the setup of an fieldpalette field within tl_news by using it within an subpalette. That (shortend) example is available within the module [Contao News Leisure Bundle](https://github.com/heimrichhannot/contao-news-leisure-bundle).

```php
// src/Resource/contao/dca/tl_news.php (Bundle)
// app/Resource/contao/dca/tl_news.php (Contao 4.4 Projekt)
// contao/dca/tl_news.php (Contao 4.9 Projekt)

$dc = &$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_news'];

$fields = array
(
'venues' => array
(
'label' => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_news']['venues'],
'inputType' => 'fieldpalette',
'foreignKey' => 'tl_fieldpalette.id',
'relation' => array('type' => 'hasMany', 'load' => 'eager'),

);

$dc['fields'] = array_merge($dc['fields'], $fields);
```

## Developers

### Guides

[DCA reference](docs/developers/dca_reference.md)
[Custom table set up](docs/developers/custom_table.md)
[Working with fieldpalette records](/docs/developers/fieldpalette_records.md) (copying (parent) records)

### Working with fieldpalette model

The `FieldPaletteModel` is not intended to be called directly and all custom methods are non static. We recommend to use the `huh.fieldpalette.manager` service.

Example:
```php
/**
* @var ContainerInterface $container
*/

// Return a model instance (with default table) for usage with model method (like find methods)
$container->get('huh.fieldpalette.manager')->getInstance()->findByPidAndTableAndField($item->id, 'tl_item', 'parentItem');

// Return a new model instance
$container->get('huh.fieldpalette.manager')->createModel()->findByPidAndTableAndField($item->id, 'tl_item', 'parentItem');

// Return a new model instance with custom table
$container->get('huh.fieldpalette.manager')->createModelByTable('tl_my_custom_table')->findByPidAndTableAndField($item->id, 'tl_item', 'parentItem');
```

Default model methods are still callable static. Custom method can also be called by creating a new model instance.
