jcore-update
============

[](#jcore-update)

Composer-installable WordPress library for integrating plugin updates with the JCORE Update API.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require jcodigital/jcore-update
```

Quickstart
----------

[](#quickstart)

```
use Jcore\Update\Config\UpdateConfig;
use Jcore\Update\Hooks\PluginUpdateHooks;
use Jcore\Update\Support\PluginHelper;

$config = new UpdateConfig(
    pluginFile: __FILE__,
    slug: 'my-plugin-slug',
    version: PluginHelper::getVersion(__FILE__),
    apiBaseUrl: 'https://api.example.com/v1',
    licenseKey: get_option('my_plugin_license_key') ?: null,
);

$updater = new PluginUpdateHooks($config);
$updater->register();
```

Full example plugin bootstrap
-----------------------------

[](#full-example-plugin-bootstrap)

See `examples/wordpress-plugin-bootstrap.php` for a complete example including:

- updater registration
- license option storage
- settings page form
- `validateLicense()` usage in a sanitize callback

License validation (headless)
-----------------------------

[](#license-validation-headless)

This library validates keys against `POST /v1/licenses/validate` but intentionally does not render any UI.

```
$result = $updater->validateLicense($licenseKey);

if ($result->isSuccess() && $result->valid) {
    // persist valid state in your plugin
} else {
    // show error/notice in your plugin UI
}
```

Convenience helper:

```
$isValid = $updater->isLicenseValid($licenseKey);
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- `GET /v1/update-check` is used for update checks and plugin detail payloads.
- `204 No Content` is treated as a valid “no update” state.
- License keys are never stored in cache keys directly (hashes are used).
- UI elements (settings pages, admin notices, forms) remain the host plugin’s responsibility.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

### Code Quality

[](#code-quality)
