Forge — VeronaLabs Plugin Starter
=================================

[](#forge--veronalabs-plugin-starter)

Craft production-ready WordPress plugins from a battle-tested foundation.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
composer create-project veronalabs/forge my-plugin
cd my-plugin
./configure
```

The `configure` script will ask for your plugin name, namespace, and other details, then scaffold everything automatically.

What's Inside
-------------

[](#whats-inside)

- **Service Container** — Lazy-loading DI with register/boot lifecycle
- **Service Providers** — Two-phase initialization (register factories, then boot)
- **React Dashboard** — Vite + React 19 with manifest-based PHP enqueue
- **SCSS + Entry Points** — Admin/frontend SCSS and IIFE bundles via Vite
- **Premium Template** — Unified premium model with module loader system
- **PHPUnit Tests** — WordPress test library integration
- **wp-scoper** — Vendor namespace isolation for conflict-free distribution

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

```

├── src/
│   ├── Bootstrap.php              # Plugin initialization
│   ├── Container/                 # DI container + service providers

        └── modules/               # Auto-discovered premium modules

```

Development
-----------

[](#development)

```
# Install dependencies
composer install
npm install

# Start dev server (React + scripts + SCSS watch)
npm run dev

# Production build
npm run build

# Run tests
composer test
```

Premium Plugin
--------------

[](#premium-plugin)

The `premium/` directory contains a complete premium plugin template. During `./configure`, it's copied to a sibling directory as `{slug}-premium/`. The premium plugin:

1. Bundles the free plugin via symlinks
2. Boots after the free core via the `{hook}_loaded` action
3. Auto-discovers modules from `pro/modules/` via `manifest.json`

### Creating a Module

[](#creating-a-module)

```
pro/modules/my-feature/
├── manifest.json
└── src/
    └── MyFeatureModule.php

```

**manifest.json:**

```
{
    "slug": "my-feature",
    "name": "My Feature",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "namespace": "MyPlugin\\Pro\\Modules\\MyFeature",
    "main_class": "MyPlugin\\Pro\\Modules\\MyFeature\\MyFeatureModule"
}
```
