What is Silk? ------------- [](#what-is-silk) Silk is a library designed as a thin layer on top of WordPress, abstracting away the mess of functions into a clean and expressive object-oriented API. Use as much or little as you want, while maintaining compatibility with everything else that's meant to work with WordPress. [Read the documentation](https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/silk-docs) for examples and more. Or check out the [API documentation](https://api.silk.aaemnnost.tv/master/) if you're into that kind of thing. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require silk/silk ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome! If you're interested in contributing to the project, please open an issue first. I would hate to decline a Pull Request forged by hours of effort for any reason, so please read the contribution guidelines first. ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 74% of packages Maintenance18 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity33 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 99.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
