wordpress-tools
===============

[](#wordpress-tools)

Bag of tools to lessen the pain of WordPress development. [Documentation](https://redandbluefi.github.io/wordpress-tools/) exists, and might improve over time.

It's modular, so you can disable the parts you don't need.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 7.

`composer.json` says 5.6, but that's just temporary so Composer stops complaining about it when installing with the standard macOS PHP, which is 5.6 and unreasonably hard to upgrade.

Interesting parts
-----------------

[](#interesting-parts)

There's a lot going on, and some things aren't as useful as the other. It brings a new vibe to templating.

First, we "register" a template directory, add this to your theme's functions.php

```
\rnb\template\load_glob(dirname(__FILE__) . '/templates/*');

```

Then every PHP file from `templates/` is loaded and usable by `\rnb\template\output()` and `\rnb\template\to_string()`. You could have multiple template directories if you wanted to.

Templates differ a bit from "traditional" templates: all templates are functions that are given data as parameters, while the traditional template usually just calls a function directly. Example template, located in `templates/single-item.php`:

```
function single_item($props = []) {
  // We can also let the template populate itself with data if required.
  $content = $props['content'] ?? get_the_content();
  $image = $props['image'] ?? \rnb\media\image(get_post_thumbnail_id());
  $injectorfn = !is_null($data['injectorfn']) ? $data['injectorfn'] : function() {
    return '';
  }; ?>

}
```

You could then use that template in The Loop, or supply the data in any other way.

```
while (have_posts()) { the_post();
  \rnb\template\output('single_item');
}

// or

\rnb\template\output('single_item', [ // notice array inside array
  [
    'content' => 'Hello world!',
    'image' => '',
    'injectorfn' => function() {
      $link = get_permalink();
      return \rnb\core\tag([
        "",
        "Read the whole thing",
        ""
      ]);
    }
  ]
]);
```

This was all written inside the GitHub editor without actually testing the code, so if it works, great! If it doesn't, fix it and PR it please :)
