Rila Framework for WordPress
============================

[](#rila-framework-for-wordpress)

Rila is a data-oriented framework for WordPress with rapid front-end development in mind. It includes a set of lot of lightweight and highly extendable class wrappers, which let you structure you code properly in a MVC-like manner.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Wrapper classes, which allow for easy and seamless access to WordPress data.
- Supports pure PHP, Twig and Blade templates out of the box. Other template engines can be easily used.
- Focused on performance: Data is available on demand and is never loaded in advance.
- Integrates seamlessly with plugins for custom fields, has a special helper for Advanced Custom Fields.
- Built with extensibility in mind: You can finally separate your logic from your views properly.
- Well-documented code and thorough documentation
- Extremely intuitive
- Smart default context: Everything, related to the current page is already available and waiting for you.

Quick example
-------------

[](#quick-example)

Your *single.php* (controller) file:

```
rila_view( 'single' )->render();
```

Your *single.twig* (view) file:

```
{% extends "base.twig" %}

{% block content %}
	{{ post.title }}
	Posted on {{ post.date }} at {{ post.date.time }} by {{ post.author.name }}

		{{ post.content }}

	{% if post.categories %}
		Belongs to {{ post.categories }}
	{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
```

Beautiful, isn't it?

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

[](#installation)

1. Download this repository as a WordPress plugin
2. Make sure that you have Composer installed and run `composer install` within the plugin's folder
3. Activate the plugin
4. Read the [wiki](https://github.com/RadoslavGeorgiev/rila-framework/wiki) and benefit

Coolest feature: Data mapping
-----------------------------

[](#coolest-feature-data-mapping)

The concept of data mapping allows you to have consistent and predictable properties for item attributes, meta and more. As an example from within the framework, you could have a definition like this:

```
$this->translate(array(
  'image' => '_thumbnail_id'
));

$this->map(array(
  '_thumbnail_id' => 'image'
));
```

That code allows you you to use `post.image` instead of `post._thumbnail_id` and the value would be an actual image object, so you can go ahead and simply use this within your templates:

```
{{ post.image }}
```

Mapping does not only apply to simple objects though - it's being heavily used throughout the whole plugin. You can read more about the topic in the wiki.

Functionality and docs
----------------------

[](#functionality-and-docs)

All of the functionality of the plugin is described in the [Wiki](https://github.com/RadoslavGeorgiev/rila-framework/wiki).
