WP Modern Plugin Boilerplate

A standardized, well organized, modern, object-oriented foundation for building high-quality WordPress Plugins (based on the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate). It supports modern JavaScript workflow and automated assets building out-of-box.

This boilerplate breaks dumb WordPress Coding Standards and instead of it fully utilizes the PSR.

It is the simplest solution for modern JS / PHP workflow!

If you hate WordPress the same as me (and you still need to use it) — it is a perfect boilerplate for you :)

What's built in?

  • Composer.
  • PHPUnit.
  • TypeScript.
  • Sass.
  • ESLint.
  • Prettier.
  • Grunt.

Usage

Main idea behind this boilerplate is to keep potential code changes as much we can inside the main plugin file (wp-modern-plugin-boilerplate.php) and so-called component classes.

How to add a new functionality?

Simply create a new class in plugin\Components (or your own namespace) and register it in main plugin file:

$plugin = new \Fedek6\WpMPB\Bootstrap($pluginName, $assetsUrl, __DIR__, '1.0.0');

// Component: plugin/Components/FrontendAssets.php
$plugin->registerComponent(
    'frontendAssets'
    '\Fedek6\WpMPB\Components\FrontendAssets'
);

Please check provided components for code examples.

Customization

To customize your plugin for production you'll need to replace some string occurrences. Use your IDE's find in files functionality.

Replacement handlers

Replace these handlers with your information:

  • {author} → your company or name.
  • {author_uri} → link to your website.
  • {plugin_uri} → link to plugin's website.
  • {plugin_description} → short plugin description.
  • {plugin_name} → full plugin name.

Namespaces

  • Find and replace Fedek6\WpMPB\{Vendor}\{PluginNamespace}\
  • Remember to edit also the composer file.

Installation & assets building

Run composer update to install PHP dependencies.

Edit assets in src directory. And run following commands:

  • Please install node dependencies using yarn install.
  • Use yarn assets to build assets.

Other tools

  • Use yarn format to run prettier on JS source files.
  • Use yarn lint for ESLint.
  • Use composer test for PHPUnit.

Deployment

If your plugin is production ready, you can run bundler script:

./bundler.sh

This will create a zip file with your plugin.

Notice: Please remember to adjust plugin name in the bundler script.
