Module: ImportShorthand

[hellomoto]

 

It's shorthand for creating new fields, templates, fieldgroups, and pages via the API. See bb for example usage.

Module programming is great. Maybe I am missing something but currently I cannot see the benefit of your module.

Example:
Field creation with built-in API

$f = new Field;
$f->name = 'field_label';
$f->type = 'FieldtypeWhatever';
$f->tags = 'tag1 tag2';
$f->label = 'Field Label';
$f->columnWidth = 50;
$f->save();

Field creation with your module

$IS = new ImportShorthand();
$IS->newField([[
  'name' => 'field_label',
  'type' => wire('modules')->get('FieldtypeWhatever'),
  'tags' => 'tag1 tag2',
  'label' => 'Field Label',
  'columnWidth' => 50,
  ],[
  // additional field options go here
]]);

You can also do 

$f = new Field();
$f->setArray([
  'name' => 'field_label',
  'type' => wire('modules')->get('FieldtypeWhatever'),
  'tags' => 'tag1 tag2',
  'label' => 'Field Label',
  'columnWidth' => 50,
  ]
);
