Our methodology to fast web applications is all about Separation of Concerns (SoC) and Scalable Static Caching. We let Wordpress handle the content back-end and Laravel the standalone front-end. Additional API and web services for dynamic content are also routed through Laravel. With the ABetter Toolkit we give Laravel/Blade some new powerful directives helping us separate as much as possible in standalone and resusable components – much inspired by ReactJS/VueJS. --- Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.2+ - Imagick 3+ - MySQL 5.7+ - Composer 1.6+ - Laravel 5.8+ - Deployer 6+ - Node 10.0+ - NPM 6.4+ --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) Via Composer: ``` composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel . "6.*" composer require abetter/wordpress ``` #### Laravel modifications [](#laravel-modifications) Add post install/update script to composer.json: ``` "scripts": { "post-install-cmd": [ "ABetter\\Wordpress\\ComposerScripts::postInstall" ], "post-update-cmd": [ "ABetter\\Wordpress\\ComposerScripts::postUpdate" ] } ``` Note: The script will modify any core files using the global \_\_() method for string translations and add a cross-framework workaround. Sadly wordpress core do not check for function\_exists before defining global \_\_(), which breaks Laravel + Wordpress compatibility without modification. Add middleware to app/Http/Kernel.php: ``` protected $middleware = [ \ABetter\Toolkit\SandboxMiddleware::class, \ABetter\Wordpress\Middleware::class, ]; ``` Note: The middleware helps Blade clear the view cache when developing many nested components. --- Preparations ------------ [](#preparations) - Setup a local host domain using .loc, (e.g. [www.abetter.loc](http://www.abetter.loc)) - Point the host to /public - Create a local mysql database Setup Laravel ------------- [](#setup-laravel) Edit .env settings ``` APP_NAME= APP_VERSION= APP_KEY=base64:insert/base64/encoded/aes256/encryption/key= APP_ENV= APP_DEBUG= APP_URL= APP_PROXY= DB_DATABASE= DB_USERNAME= DB_PASSWORD= WP_THEME= WP_AUTOLOGIN= WP_REQUIRELOGIN= ``` Note: Use APP\_ENV=sandbox when developing with browsersync. Add routes to /routes/web.php ``` // ABetter Toolkit services Route::any('image/{style?}/{path}', '\ABetterToolkitController@handle')->where('path','.*'); Route::any('proxy/{path}', '\ABetterToolkitController@handle')->where('path','.*'); Route::any('browsersync/{event?}/{path}', '\ABetterToolkitController@handle')->where('path','.*'); Route::any('service/{path?}.{type}', '\ABetterToolkitController@handle')->where(['path'=>'.*','type'=>'json']); // ABetter Wordpress main route Route::any('{path}', '\ABetterWordpressController@handle')->where('path','^(?!nova-api|nova-vendor|nova|api).*$'); ``` Note: Remove any other routes for root or wp paths (i.e default Welcome). Copy the Deployer file to root and run setup once: ``` cp vendor/abetter/toolkit/deploy/deploy.php deploy.php dep setuponce local ``` Run audit fix if needed: ``` npm audit fix ``` Note: Only run the setuponce on fresh projects, since it will replace files in /resources and /public. Test to build the app: ``` dep build local ``` Setup Wordpress --------------- [](#setup-wordpress) Go to host in browser (e.g. ) and follow install instructions. Go to /Appearance/Themes, and activate ABetter theme. Go to /Plugins, and activate: - Advanced Custom Fields. - Disable Gutenberg (full support is coming soon...). - ... Any other of the supported plugins you need. Add default pages: ``` : : : Start : start : default : -1 News : news : default : 200 Privacy Policy : privacy-policy : default : 200 Search : search : search : 400 403 Forbidden : 403-forbidden : error : 403 404 Not found : 404-not-found : error : 404 ``` Go to /Settings/Reading: - Select Start as homepage - Select News as post page Finaly, go to host in browser: **Congratulations to your new site!** --- Usage ----- [](#usage) #### Development [](#development) Use npm to start webpack and browsersync: ``` npm run watch ``` ... or if using php artisan serve: ``` php artisan serve & npm run watch ``` NOTE: With "php artisan serve" you need to modify APP\_PROXY in .env to . #### Component file structure [](#component-file-structure) ``` . ├── public # Handled by build script (will be overwritten) ├── routes # Add any development routes to /web.php ├── resources # │ ├── scripts # Global scripts in "app.js" │ ├── styles # Global styles in "app.scss" │ ├── fonts # Fonts here (will copy to /public on build) │ ├── images # Images here (will copy to /public on build) │ ├── videos # Videos here (will copy to /public on build) │ ├── views # │ │ ├── # Subfolder defined in .env / WP_THEME │ │ │ ├── template.blade.php # Template file requested in route │ │ │ │ ├── components # │ │ │ │ │ ├── menu # Component subfolder: │ │ │ │ │ │ ├── menu.blade.php # Template file : @component('components.menu',TRUE) │ │ │ │ │ │ ├── menu.scss # Sass file : @style('menu.scss') │ │ │ │ │ │ ├── menu.js # Javascript file : @script('menu.js') ... /vendor/abetter/wordpress/ # Default components will be used if not overridden! ├── views # (e.g. html head start/end is rendered from here) │ ├── default # │ │ ├── robots.blade.php # Default Robots.txt template │ │ ├── sitemap.blade.php # Default Sitemap.xml template │ │ ├── components # │ │ │ │ ├── html # Default HTML head components │ │ │ │ ├── missing # Default debugging for missing components │ │ │ │ ├── robots # Default Robots.txt component │ │ │ │ ├── sitemap # Default Sitemap.xml component ... ``` Note: Component names will be auto-resolved if the blade file has same basename as folder. Note: Linked JS/Sass files in components will be external files in development to support browsersync live, but will be embedded in html source on Stage/Production environments for better caching. Note: You can auto-terminate a @component with TRUE as the second paramater, to avoid writing out @endcomponent, e.g when not using any slots or nested content. #### Deployment [](#deployment) (coming soon) --- Contributors ============ [](#contributors) [Johan Sjöland](https://www.abetterstory.com/%5D) Senior Product Developer: ABetter Story Sweden AB.
