One of my long-term goals was to bring this repo up to MODERN PHP Standards (we Predate PHP 7, let alone 8!) and make it easier to update.

I used LWTV as my testbed to build out an autoloader, and restructured things as follows:

• functions.php - Main Plugin file. Loads auto-loader, components, and defines.
• /assets/ - Plugin assets
• /bin/ - Scripts used for PHP Unit Testing
• /node_scripts/ - Scripts used by Node to properly move content.
• /php/ - All functional code
• /plugins/ - Forked 3rd party plugins
• /tests/ - Unit Tests

Instead of 100 top-level folders, all the code is in /php/ and uses the concept of implementing components that can be dynamically called.

The code is about 80% documented via DocBlocks, and the readme are up to date.

Components

A Component can be thought of as a sub-plugin. It is an atomic, independent module that stores business logic related to a specific feature. It may expose some template tags (functions) that can be called from within the theme as lwtv_plugin()->FUNCTION_NAME() which allows us to connect plugin and theme without needing to know specific classes and/or namespaces.

All Components are stored in /php/ and the details of their use and implementation is in /php/readme.md

To Do

• Actually run a build on the CSS/JS to combine files (this would mean a lot of code-rewriting)
• Have the blocks build to outside the PHP folder

Post Merge

After this is merged, you must run LezWatch/lwtv-underscores#199 to ensure the theme is compatible
