Although there is a very slight overhead in doing this, the front-end caching will offset this completely. For sites that don't have a front-end cache, the YAML file could be additionally parsed and stored in a transient. Location and File Name ---------------------- [](#location-and-file-name) The config file is generally stored in a folder off of the theme's root called `.config` with a name of `cpts.yaml`. You may also create an environment variable called `CPT_YAML_FILE` that points either to the absolute path of the config file, or a path relative to the theme's directory. Options ------- [](#options) The file format is very simple and is intended for the 99% use case for CPTs. There are no features in the YAML file that aren't available to the traditional `register_post_type` WordPress function. - The root key is the WordPress slug for the CPT - Because this is the slug, just like any other CPT, you should never change this once you've defined it or else your existing content might get lost. - The two required child keys are `singular` and `plural` which control the display name for the CPT. - Two optional child keys are `singular_lowercase` and `plural_lowercase`however if they are not present they will be generated automatically. - The last optional child key is `extended_options` whose values map directly to the core WordPress function [register\_post\_type](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/) Sample ------ [](#sample) ``` # The slug for our alert CPTs alert: # Singular and plural human-readable versions singular: Alert plural: Alerts # The contents of this key are merged with the required WordPress labels and passed directly # as the second argument to the register_post_type function. Common default values for these # items are set in https://github.com/vendi-advertising/vendi-cpt-from-yaml/blob/f85a3db005da11f88b9e5340ba12202b86584f81/src/CPTBase.php#L160 extended_options: supports: - title - editor public: true has_archive: false menu_icon: dashicons-visibility exclude_from_search: true publicly_queryable: false ``` ### Health Score 43 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance49 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity83 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 97.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
