This plugin follows:
- Standards set by the Wordpress organisation https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin.
- PHP Framework Interop Group's standards http://www.php-fig.org/
- JS Standard https://standardjs.com/rules.html
Assets (such as CSS and JS) are compiled in this plugin using Webpack.
In the root directory run:
-
npm install. This installs all the compiling dependencies. While/node_modules/is generated in this process, it is not tracked or commit to Git. -
For compiling assets while you work run,
npm run watch. This starts Webpack watching yoursrcfile changes and compiling them on the fly as you edit. See further Webpack commands and configuration inpackage.json.
This plugin uses OOP PHP and Namespaces (PSR-4 Autoloader).
If functionality is javascript based, this plugin uses the JavaScript Object Literal pattern to encapsulate functions into modules. Edit the JS file in the src folder and that will get compiled into the dist folder.
We have a Git Action setup that lints, sniffs and then commits the linted PHP code in this plugin when code gets pushed to the repo.
