Collection Repository

To work with the with Collection Repository, use the following Facade:

use Statamic\Facades\Collection;

Methods

Methods Description
all() Get all Collections
find($id) Get Collection by id
findByHandle($handle) Get Collection by handle
findByMount($mount) Get Asset by mounted entry id
handleExists($handle) Check to see if Collection exists
handles() Get all Collection handles
queryEntries() Query Builder for Entries
whereStructured() Get all Structured Collections
make() Makes a new Collection instance
Hot Tip!

The id is the same as handle while using the default Stache driver.

Querying

While the Collection Repository does not have a Query Builder, you can still query for Entries inside Collections with the queryEntries method. This approach can be useful for retrieving Entries with an existing Collection object.

$blog = Collection::find('blog');
 
$blog->queryEntries()->get();

Creating

Start by making an instance of a collection with the make method. You can pass the handle into it.

$collection = Collection::make('assets');

You may call additional methods on the collection to customize it further.

$collection
->title('Blog')
->routes('/blog/{slug}') // a string, or array of strings per site
->mount('blog-page') // id of an entry
->dated(true)
->ampable(false)
->sites(['one', 'two']) // array of handles
->template('template')
->layout('layout')
->cascade($data) // an array
->searchIndex('blog') // index name
->revisionsEnabled(false)
->defaultPublishState('published') // or 'draft'
->structureContents($structure) // an array
->sortField('field') // the field to sort by default
->sortDirection('asc') // or 'desc'
->taxonomies(['tags']) // array of handles
->propagate(true); // whether newly created entries propagate to other sites

Finally, save it.

$collection->save();
