- [Taxonomies Documentation](docs/taxonomies.md) - Complete guide for creating and configuring custom taxonomies

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

### Post Types

[](#post-types)

```
use Pollora\Entity\PostType;

PostType::make('book', 'Book', 'Books')
    ->public()
    ->showInRest()
    ->hasArchive()
    ->supports(['title', 'editor', 'thumbnail'])
    ->menuIcon('dashicons-book-alt');
```

### Taxonomies

[](#taxonomies)

```
use Pollora\Entity\Taxonomy;

Taxonomy::make('genre', 'book', 'Genre', 'Genres')
    ->hierarchical()
    ->showInRest()
    ->showInQuickEdit();
```

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

This package follows hexagonal architecture principles:

1. **Domain Layer**: Core business logic (Entity, PostType, Taxonomy)
2. **Application Layer**: Services that orchestrate operations
3. **Adapter Layer**: WordPress integration adapters

The Domain layer remains independent of external dependencies, defining interfaces (ports) that adapters implement.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

The package includes comprehensive unit tests using PestPHP with WordPress function mocks:

```
composer test
```

### Test Structure

[](#test-structure)

- `tests/helpers.php`: Global WordPress function mocks
- `tests/ext_cpts_helpers.php`: Extended CPTs namespace function mocks
- `tests/bootstrap.php`: Test environment setup

License
-------

[](#license)

This package is open-source software licensed under the MIT license.
