Template Usage

To display the Number field in your template, use the field name you provided.

<?php block_field( 'adoption-fee' ); ?>

Example template file /blocks/block-block-lab-example-pets.php

<?php 
// Block Lab Example Number Field 
?>

<p>Adoption Fee: <?php block_field( 'adoption-fee' ); ?></p> 

To use the block with the Number field on your site, locate it in the blocks menu.

It will then display within your post/page.

And on the front-end of your site.

The API will return an integer, and echo a string.

<?php 
// Block Lab Example Number Field 
?>
 
<p>Adoption Fee: $<?php block_field( 'adoption-fee' ); ?></p> 

At a dollar a hug, your new best friend brings smiles and 
   <?php
      for( $i = 1; $i <= block_value( 'adoption-fee' ); $i++ ) {
        echo ' and hugs';
      }
   ?>
.
