```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

##### Step 1

[](#step-1)

First we need to prepare the arguments like below-

```
$prefix = 'codemascot_'; // Use any prefix you like to prefix the metabox name or id
$metabox_args = [
    [
        $prefix . '-section-title',
        __( 'Section Title', 'text-domain' ),
        'title',
        'required',
    ],
    [
        $prefix . '-checkbox',
        __( 'Input Checkbox', 'text-domain' ),
        'check',
        '',
        [
            'checkbox_key' => 'Checkbox Text',
        ],
    ],
    [
        $prefix . '-input',
        __( 'Input Text', 'text-domain' ),
        'input',
        'required',
    ],
    [
        $prefix . '-select',
        __( 'Select Dropdown', 'text-domain' ),
        'select',
        'required',
        [
            '-'     => '-',
            'red'   => 'Red',
            'blue'  => 'Blue',
            'green' => 'Green',
        ],
    ],
];
```

##### Step 2

[](#step-2)

Now you need to call the `MetaBox` class like below-

```
new \CodeMascot\MetaBox\MetaBox(
    'section-id', // Section DOM ID
    __( 'Section Name', 'text-domain' ), // Section Name
     'post', // Post Type
     $metabox_args, // Arguments
     'advanced', // Context
     'high' // Priority
);
```

##### Data Sanitization & Validation

[](#data-sanitization--validation)

You can use `codeamscot_metabox_api_data_filter` for sanitizing and validating input through this package. It has two arguments, one is `$data` and another is `$field_id`.

```
add_filter(
    'codemascot_metabox_api_data_filter',
    'codemascot_metabox_api_data_filter',
    10,
    2
);

/**
 * @param        $data
 * @param string $field_id
 */
function codemascot_metabox_api_data_filter( $data, $field_id ) {
    // Validate or Sanitize Data Here.
}
```
