WP Config Containers
====================

[](#wp-config-containers)

Note

This package has been moved into

A Composer package for WordPress that provides strongly-typed **DTO (Data Transfer Object)** classes and **Builder classes** for various Wordpress configurations such as Post Types and Taxonomies.

This package helps bring structure, clarity, and type safety to WordPress projects by wrapping Post Type and Taxonomy configurations in clean, typed objects with fluent builder interfaces.

---

📖 About
-------

[](#-about)

This package auto-generates **Builder Classes** and in some cases **DTOs** for:

- `WP_Post_Type`
- `WP_Taxonomy`
- `WP_Block_Type`
- Block attributes from

The generators read the DocBlocks of WordPress' native classes and automatically create various classes to help construct the above configurations in a clean and safe manner.

---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

You’ll need Composer installed.

```
composer require barnythorpe/wp-config-containers
```

---

🚀 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

```
use function Barnythorpe\WpConfigContainers\post_type;

$postType = post_type()
    ->name('my_custom_post')
    ->public(true)
    ->build();

$configArray = $postType->toArray();
```

See the [Tests](/tests) directory for more examples of how to use.

🛠️ Contributing & Developer Notes
-------------------------------------

[](#️-contributing--developer-notes)

If you're working on this package or maintaining it in the future, here’s what you need to know:

### The Generator

[](#the-generator)

- **Located in:** `src/WpConfigContainersGenerator/Generator.php`
- **Uses:**
    - `phpDocumentor` to parse DocBlocks and types
    - `Twig` templates to generate DTO and Builder class files
- **Templates:**
    - `src/WpConfigContainersGenerator/templates/dto.twig`
    - `src/WpConfigContainersGenerator/templates/builder.twig`

To run the generator:

```
php generate.php
```

### How It Works:

[](#how-it-works)

- The Generator reflects on the original WordPress classes (`WP_Post_Type`, `WP_Taxonomy`).
- It parses each property’s `@var` annotation to determine type and description.
- Uses `Twig` or `nette/php-generator` to generate builder classes with fluent methods for setting those properties
- Generated files are written to the `src` directory.
