Development Environment

Optimizations for a local WordPress theme development environment.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require mindkomm/theme-lib-environment-dev

Usage

By default, the development environment:

• Disables heartbeat.
• Adds a custom 🚀 favicon for development enviroments.

To activate the feature, use the following code:

functions.php

if ( is_dev() ) {
    $wpdev = new Theme\Environment\Development\WordPress();
    $wpdev->init();
}

Development Favicon

For the development favicon feature to work well, you’ll need to render your favicons through a render_theme_favicon() function. The development favicon feature will unhook your render_theme_favicon function from wp_head and add its own code.

functions.php

/**
 * Add the theme favicon into theme head
 */
add_action( 'wp_head', 'render_theme_favicon' );

/**
 * Render favicons.
 *
 * This needs to be a separate function so that it can be unhooked.
 */
function render_theme_favicon() {
    Timber\Timber::render( 'favicons.twig', Timber\Timber::get_context() );
}

Redirect emails

Redirects all emails sent through wp_mail to a certain email address.

if ( is_dev() ) {
    $wpdev = new Theme\Environment\Development\WordPress();
    $wpdev->redirect_emails( 'info@example.org' );
}

WooCommerce

set_email_recipient

Filters the recipient email for WooCommerce emails.

functions

if ( is_dev() ) {
    $woodev = Theme\Environment\Development\WooCommerce();
    $woodev->set_email_recipient( 'info@example.org' );
}
