WP Plugin Library for OOP

A backbone for utilizing the [Wordpress Plugin API](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Introduction), using `php@7.4` and OOP.

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

Prerequisites
-------------

[](#prerequisites)

- Php `^7.4.*`
- Composer `^2`
- WordPress >= 5.5.0

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require jascha030/wp-plugin-lib
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The easiest way to explain usage is with an example of the main plugin file.

The name of the package might be deceiving, Plugin refers to the WP Plugin API, which means that it can be used for either a plugin or a theme. In this example we pretend to be building a plugin, but for a theme we would just write our code in the theme's `functions.php` file instead of the main plugin file.

`main-plugin-file.php`
