Framework In development
========================

[](#framework-in-development)

Socket offers a simple and extensible drag and drop interface to define your theme or plugin options. Based on the REST API, Socket is easily extensible and already support a wide range fields as: select, input or autocomplete.

Easily built your Plugin Options page, place the exported files inside your plugin folder and that’s it — all your options ready to be used.

### Wishful thinking

[](#wishful-thinking)

At the version one this repository will stand as a WordPress framework for plugins options. Pretty much something like Options Framework or Redux, Option tree or whatever is out there in the world.

But the road is long.

Why in the hell another options framework??
-------------------------------------------

[](#why-in-the-hell-another-options-framework)

Because I can!

And mainly because I'm thinking to use:

- React and [React Semantic-UI](http://react.semantic-ui.com/)
- The new WordPress REST API to handle the data

Isn't this the next Big thing in web apps and WordPress dashboard? A headless dashboard? Don't believe me? Ask Matt!

Install and develop
-------------------

[](#install-and-develop)

Well, simply `npm install` and you are ready to run

`gulp styles` – to build styles

`gulp compile` – to build from react to ES5

`gulp watch` - if you don't want to bother too much with the terminal

For the moment this is just an example plugin, the config is editable (or filtrable) and any idea is welcomed
