Arts Base
=========

[](#arts-base)

Base classes for WordPress plugins using a manager pattern architecture.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require arts/base
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Arts\Base\Plugins\BasePlugin;
use Arts\Base\Managers\BaseManager;

class MyPlugin extends BasePlugin {
    protected function get_default_config() {
        return ['version' => '1.0.0'];
    }

    protected function get_default_strings() {
        return ['name' => 'My Plugin'];
    }

    protected function get_managers_classes() {
        return ['assets' => AssetsManager::class];
    }

    protected function get_default_run_action() {
        return 'init';
    }
}

class AssetsManager extends BaseManager {
    // Access config via $this->config, strings via $this->strings
    // Access other managers via $this->managers->other_manager
}

// Initialize
MyPlugin::instance();
```

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

- **BasePlugin** - Per-class singleton. Constructor bootstraps the plugin (init properties, apply filters, instantiate and init managers, register `run()`), then `run()` fires on the configured WordPress action.
- **BaseManager** - Receives `$args`, `$config`, `$strings` from the plugin at construction; peer managers are wired in later via `init($managers)` (self excluded).
- **ManagersContainer** - `ArrayObject` subclass supporting both iteration and property access (`$managers->some_manager`); missing keys return `null`.

Manager Communication
---------------------

[](#manager-communication)

Peers are wired into `$this->managers` at the end of `BaseManager::init()`, *after* `init_properties()` runs. So `$this->managers` is `null` inside `init_properties()`, and only reachable from methods called after `init()` completes:

```
$this->managers->assets->enqueue_scripts();
```

Type Safety
-----------

[](#type-safety)

For IDE autocompletion, extend `ManagersContainer` and override `init_managers_container()` in your plugin. See `@template TManagers` in BasePlugin.
