From the command line navigate to your WordPress `mu-plugins` directory. 2. Run this command: `composer create-project sb2-media/wordpress-starter-plugin`. 3. Rename the `wordpress-starter-plugin` directory to `your-plugin-name`. 4. Change into the plugin directory: `cd your-plugin-name`. 5. Update the `package.json` file with your info. 6. Update the main plugin header in `plugin.php` with your plugin info. 7. Run `npm install`. 8. Run `npm run dev`. 9. Global search and replace `SB2Media\Hub` namespaces with `YourCompanyName\YourPluginName`. 10. Update `composer.json` with relevant information including the namespaces defined in the `autoload` section. They must match the namespaces used in the previous step. 11. Run `composer dump-autoload -o`. 12. In the WordPress dashboard, navigate to the *Plugins* page and locate the menu item that reads “Your Plugin Name.” 13. Click on *Activate.* Note that this will activate the source code of the starter plugin, but because it has no real functionality no menu items, meta boxes, or custom post types will be added. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Enqueuing Assets [](#enqueuing-assets) Default behavior for enqueueing assets is via two configuration files found in the `config` folder. Front-end and back-end assets can be defined in `enqueue.php` and `admin-enqueue.php`, respectively. Adding multiple files is as simple as adding another entry in the configuration array. This is well-documented in each file. Alternatively (or in conjunction with), assets can be enqueued via the `EnqueueManager` class' `enqueueStyles` and `enqueueScripts` methods. These are best called in the `Plugin` class' `enqueueAssets` and `enqueueAdminAssets` methods. Each asset to be enqueued should be placed in the appropriate `assets/sass` (default for css), `assets/css` and/or `assets/js` subfolders. These filed must also be defined in `webpack.mix.js` in the plugin's root directory and compiled into the appropriate `dist/` subfolder by executing `npm run dev` or `npm run production` on the command line. Recommended Tools ----------------- [](#recommended-tools) ### i18n Tools [](#i18n-tools) The WordPress Starter Plugin uses a variable to store the text domain used when internationalizing strings throughout. To take advantage of this method, there are tools that are recommended for providing correct, translatable files: - [Poedit](http://www.poedit.net/) - [makepot](http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/tools/trunk/) - [i18n](https://github.com/grappler/i18n) Any of the above tools should provide you with the proper tooling to internationalize the plugin.

Assets ------ [](#assets) The `assets/images` directory contains three files. 1. `banner-772x250.png` is used to represent the plugin’s header image. 2. `icon-256x256.png` is a used to represent the plugin’s icon image (which is new as of WordPress 4.0). 3. `screenshot-1.png` is used to represent a single screenshot of the plugin that corresponds to the “Screenshots” heading in your plugin `README.txt`. Credits ======= [](#credits) This starter plugin was originally based on The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate which was started in 2011 by [Tom McFarlin](http://twitter.com/tommcfarlin/). The current version of the Boilerplate was developed in conjunction with [Josh Eaton](https://twitter.com/jjeaton), [Ulrich Pogson](https://twitter.com/grapplerulrich), and [Brad Vincent](https://twitter.com/themergency). The fork which this is directly forked from was developed by [Luís Rodrigues](https://github.com/goblindegook). This plugin also uses code and concepts adapted from [Carl Alexander](https://carlalexander.ca/) and Tonya Mork's [Fulcrum plugin](https://github.com/hellofromtonya/Fulcrum). ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 32% of packages Maintenance17 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity12 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity49 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
