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

[](#installation)

We officially support installing via composer only

### Via composer

[](#via-composer)

```
composer require oblak/wp-plugin-installer
```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

`Base_Plugin_Installer` is an **abstract** singleton class which can be extended to create a plugin installer class. The class is responsible for installing and activating the plugin, and updating the plugin and database schema versions. You need to extend it and implement the `set_defaults()` method, which is responsible for setting the default values for the class.

If your plugin needs non-wp database tables, you need to implement the `get_schema()` method, and set the `has_db_tables` property to `true`, so that the installer can create and update the tables.

Class depends on [Action Scheduler](https://actionscheduler.org) for running update callbacks in the background. If your plugin uses Action Scheduler, or depends on an another plugin, which has Action Scheduler, you can skip the activation step.

### 1. Define your installer class
