PluginWP Foundation

🚧 UNDER DEVELOPMENT 🚧

This code serves as a starting point for building a WordPress plugin using React and the block editor components. I also wanted to build WordPress plugins in a more modern PHP way by introducing a portion of the Service Container and Service Providers that are used in the Laravel framework.

Installation

Requirements

• Node.js
• Composer

Quick Start

Clone this repository or click Use this template on to create a new project on GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/jrtashjian/pluginwp.git yourpluginslug

Search for PluginWP Author and replace with Actual Author Name

find . -type f -not -path "./.git/*" -exec sed -i 's/PluginWP Author/Actual Author Name/g' {} +

Search for PluginWP and replace with YourPluginSlug

find . -type f -not -path "./.git/*" -exec sed -i 's/PluginWP/YourPluginSlug/g' {} +

Search for pluginwp and replace with yourpluginslug

find . -type f -not -path "./.git/*" -exec sed -i 's/pluginwp/yourpluginslug/g' {} +

Finally, rename the main plugin file pluginwp.php to yourpluginslug.php.

Setup

Install the necessary Node.js and Composer dependencies:

$ composer install
$ npm install

Available CLI commands

• composer lint : checks all PHP files for syntax errors.
• composer format : fixes all automatically fixable syntax errors.
• npm run wp-env : exposes all commands available in @wordpress/env
• npm run build : compiles all scripts and styles for distribution.
• npm run dev : compiles all scripts and styles for development.

Now go build something!
