WordPress Salts Generator
=========================

[](#wordpress-salts-generator)

A key and salts generator for WordPress that works with both wp-config and .env files.

- This library is for use with a composer setup of WordPress.
- Keys and salts are generated via the command line.

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

[](#installation)

To install this library either use the composer require command.

```
composer require rbdwllr/wordpress-salts-generator 0.1.*

```

Or add it straight to your `composer.json` file and run `composer update`.

```
require: {
    "rbdwllr/wordpress-salts-generator": "0.1.*"
}

```

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

Their are two simple commands available for generating the keys and salts.

```
// Generates traditional WordPress 'define' keys and salts.
vendor/bin/wpsalts traditional

// Generates keys and salts that can be used in a .env file.
vendor/bin/wpsalts dotenv

```

If you don't add a command the `vendor/bin/wpsalts` command it will output the traditional WordPress salts and keys.

### Append to File

[](#append-to-file)

If you would like to append the keys directly to the end of an .env file you can use the `--clean` flag as follows.

```
vendor/bin/wpsalts dotenv --clean >> .env

```

The clean flag removes any messaging and formatting around the output, and the `>>` operator appends the output to the end of the .env file on a new line.

Output Examples
---------------

[](#output-examples)

### Traditional WordPress
