HyperFields
===========

[](#hyperfields)

HyperFields is a Composer library for WordPress custom fields.

It provides:

- options pages
- post/user/term field containers
- field validation/sanitization
- conditional logic
- JSON export/import for options with typed-node schema validation
- JSON export/import for pages/CPT content
- pluggable transfer-module orchestration
- transfer audit logging with a built-in admin logs screen

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require estebanforge/hyperfields
```

Load your project Composer autoloader:

```
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
```

HyperFields bootstrap is registered via Composer `autoload.files`.

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
use HyperFields\Field;
use HyperFields\OptionsPage;

$page = OptionsPage::make('My Settings', 'my-settings');

$page->addField(
    Field::make('text', 'site_title', 'Site Title')
        ->setDefault('My Site')
        ->setRequired()
);

$page->register();
```

Helper functions
----------------

[](#helper-functions)

Procedural helpers are available with `hf_` prefix (for example: `hf_field`, `hf_get_field`, `hf_update_field`, `hf_option_page`).

Schema validation for JSON imports
----------------------------------

[](#schema-validation-for-json-imports)

JSON exports now include embedded type schemas alongside each value. When importing, HyperFields validates that values match their declared schemas, preventing malformed data or injection attacks.

See [`docs/transfer-and-content-export-import.md`](docs/transfer-and-content-export-import.md) for:

- Typed-node envelope format
- SchemaValidator API
- Building schema maps for exports
- Import validation flow
- Extending with custom format validators
- Transfer audit logging, retention controls, and logs UI hooks

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1+

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

HyperFields uses Pest v4.

```
composer run test
composer run test:unit
composer run test:integration
composer run test:coverage
composer run test:xdebug
```
