Vagebond Knapsack
=================

[](#vagebond-knapsack)

This is a WordPress starter kit and can be used to kickstart your theme development.

1: Installation
---------------

[](#1-installation)

composer create-project knapsack/knapsack your-theme-name

2: Adding templates
-------------------

[](#2-adding-templates)

Knapsack uses the Knapsack router to map templates to views. Open up the `routes/templates.php` file and add your routes.

```
$router->template('my template name', function () {
    echo 'Hello world!'
});
```

You can also add a template with a view.

```
$router->template('my template name', function () {
    echo vgb_view('my-view');
});
```

But the most common way is to use a controller.

```
$router->template('my template name', [MyController::class, 'myMethod']);
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Knapsack works out of the box, but you can configure it to your needs. By default, the theme looks for a `app.ts` files in the `resources/assets/ts/app.ts` location. You can change this in the `bootstrap/theme/assets.php` file. (will be moved to config file)

The `bootstrap/theme/settings.php` contains the defaults for your Theme, like `theme_support` and other settings.
