Choices

There are a group of fields that ACF allows to have choices: checkbox, radio and select. Check out the plethora of settings ACF allows for these types of fields. To make managing the choices easier, ACF Builder provides addChoice and addChoices methods.

Add Choice

After adding the checkbox, radio or select field, you can use addChoice to clearly setup the choice options.

use StoutLogic\AcfBuilder\FieldsBuilder;

$banner = new FieldsBuilder('banner');
$banner
    ->addText('title')
    ->addWysiwyg('content')
    ->addRadio('background_color')
        ->addChoice('red')
        ->addChoice('blue')
        ->addChoice('green')
        ->setDefaultValue('blue');

$banner->build(); will generate:

...
 'fields' => [
    [
        ...
        'name' => 'background_color',
        'type' => 'radio',
        'choices' => [
            'red' => 'red',
            'blue' => 'blue',
            'green' => 'green',
        ],
        'default_value' => 'blue',
    ],
],
...

addChoice can take a second parameter for the label of the radio button. By default it will be the same as the value.

$banner
    ->addRadio('background_color')
    ->addChoice('yellow', 'Yellow');

Shorthand for adding multiple choices

Another option is to use the addChoices method to quickly add 1 or more choices. Just pass in multiple arguments for each choice. Or pass in a [key => value] array to represent ['choice' => 'label'] if you want to specify a label.

$banner
    ->addRadio('background_color')
    ->addChoices('green', 'orange', ['rose' => 'pink'], 'white');
