Hacking Wordpress Custom Objects

Abstract classes (prototypes) for creating custom post types and taxonomies and registering WP API programmatically

Share, enhance and enjoy!

Usage

Create a reusable object class you can drop in to any project and register any post type (or taxonomy). Enhance object and speed up site creation just by including file.

Build upon overriding parent methods, most hooking hooking can be avoided.

<?php

// LinkPostType.php

use \HackingWP\CustomObjects\PostTypePrototype;

class LinkPostType extends PostTypePrototype
{
    protected $post_type = 'link';

    function post_type_args_supports()
    {
        return array('title', 'author', 'excerpt');
    }

    function post_type_args_public()
    {
        return true;
    }

    function post_type_args_has_archive()
    {
        return true;
    }

    protected function post_type_args_menu_icon()
    {
        return 'dashicons-format-links';
    }

    protected function post_type_args_taxonomies()
    {
        return array('post_tag', 'category');
    }
}

Than somewhere in your plugin include and create object:

if (class_exists('\HackingWP\CustomObjects\CustomObjects_PostTypePrototype')) {
    new LinkPostType;
}

And you are done. As a bonus, WP API shortcut endpoints have been registered too. Go ahead and fire:

• http://example.com/wp-json.php/links instead of http://example.com/wp-json.php/posts/types/link
• http://example.com/wp-json.php/links/taxonomies
• http://example.com/wp-json.php/links/taxonomies/category/terms
• http://example.com/wp-json.php/links/taxonomies/category/terms
• http://example.com/wp-json.php/links/taxonomies/category/terms/1
