WordPress custom post types that feel like CRUD models

[See the wiki for complete documentation.](https://github.com/tacowordpress/tacowordpress/wiki)

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

1. Add Taco and [Util](https://github.com/tacowordpress/util) to `composer.json`

```
{
  "require": {
    "tacowordpress/tacowordpress": "dev-master"
  }
}
```

2. Include Composer’s autoload in `wp-config.php`

```
// Composer autoloader
// Add to the top of wp-config.php
require_once realpath(__DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php');
```

3. Initialize Taco in `functions.php`

```
// Initialize Taco
\Taco\Loader::init();
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once you have Taco setup, you can start creating your custom post types. Follow the [getting started](https://github.com/tacowordpress/tacowordpress/wiki/1.1-Getting-started) instructions for a simple example.

PHPUnit tests
-------------

[](#phpunit-tests)

If you want to contribute, you should create corresponding PHPUnit tests for your functionality or fix. You will need to create a database and configure db-config.php with your database credentials. Then pull down the latest Composer updates which includes PHPUnit, and run the PHPUnit tests:

```
$ composer update
$ cd tests
$ ../vendor/bin/phpunit

```

If you want to login to the WordPress admin UI for the test suite, you need to:

1. Create a hosts entry:

    ```
     127.0.0.1 taco-phpunit-test.vera

    ```
2. Create an Apache vhosts entry, modifying the path as necessary. If you are having trouble, make sure that your vhost file is being loaded by Apache.

    ```

       DocumentRoot "/path/to/taco/tests/lib/wordpress"
       ServerName taco-phpunit-test.vera

         AllowOverride All
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all

    ```
3. Visit

    ```
     u: admin
     p: admin

    ```
