Link Fieldtype

Overview

For when you want to create a link to a URL or entry, this fieldtype is here for you. We often see it used in Grids and Replicators.

Data Storage

url_link: 'https://statamic.com'
entry_link: 'entry::9d682ce3-a353-4fdd-af5e-c1d21b7a87f7'
first_child_link: '@child'

First Child

Creating a "first child" link will dynamically return the URL to first entry nested below in a Structure or Navigation.

For example, if you set a First Child link on the Getting Started entry below, it will return the URL to the "Requirements" entry.

This option will only be provided when the field is in a collection. Globals and terms, by their nature, don't have children.

Templating

Link fields will render a URL string you can use however you choose.

Check out <a href="{{ url_link }}">Statamic</a>!

Check out <a href="{{ $url_link }}">Statamic</a>!

Check out <a href="https://statamic.com">Statamic</a>!

You can access other data of the link field by using it like an array. This could be the title of an entry you link to, for example.

{{ link_field:title }}

{{ $link_field['title'] }}
