A few other misc enhancements

2. Improved True_False field markup.
3. Improved CMB2\Field::attributes() method to merge in attributes instead of squashing existing.

CMB2 True False

Introducing a True/False field type for CMB2

Similar to the field you can find in ACF. Works just like a checkbox, but with a clean on/off switch UI.

$box->field( 'switch-field', "I'm a switch!" )
	 ->true_false();

CMB2 Number Field

Text Number Field Support For CMB2

When using the Field object to register CMB2 a new method called text_number creates a number input with support for specifying step, min, and max.

$box->field( 'a-number-field', 'Number Field' )
	->text_number( 1, 50, 2000 );

Gutenberg Support For Custom_Post_Type

Enable or disable the block editor via a class property

Set the property and all requirements and/or filters will be taken care of automatically.

$post = new Custom_Post_Type_Extended( 'products' );
$post->gutenberg_compatible = false;

$box = new Box( self::NAME, $object_types, 'Ad Data' );
$box->description( 'test description' );

Thanks For The Memories - Filter Closures

This version adds a nice new method to the Util/Actions class called 'add_filter_as_action()'

Solves a long tedium when you need to hook into an apply_filters() call without actually filtering anything. When you just wish you had a do_action() there instead of an apply_filters().

Observe

Old Way

add_filter( 'some_conviently_placed_filter', function( $value ) {
      custom_function_call();
      return $value;
});

New Way

Actions::in()->add_filter_as_action( 'some_conviently_placed_filter', 'custom_function_call' );

CMB2 Compact Checkboxes

CMB2 compact layout for checkboxes. Useful for side meta boxes that get very long using the default layout.

// shorthand
$box->field( self::FIELD_ID, 'Compact Checkbox' )
			->checkbox( 'compact' )

CMB2 Group Layouts

CMB2 Group layouts allow displaying a CMB2 group in either a row or table layout. Displays group items in a more compact and pleasing UI.

// shorthand
$group = $box->group( self::GROUP_ID, 'Table GROUP' )
			->layout( 'table' );

Other Enhancements

• Support using keyed and flat arrays at the same time with Class_Names
• Support LIKE queries in Schema\Db
• Support '' queries in Schema\Db
