wp-kit/theme
============

[](#wp-kittheme)

`wp-kit` is a micro [`RAD`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_application_development) (Rapid Application Development) solution for `Wordpress`.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Download [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/) and install using these commands

You need to be using at least PhP 7.4, make sure it's installed, and make sure Composer is using the correct PhP binary:

```
php -v
composer -vvv about

```

Both should refer to a version &gt;= PhP 7.4 if your local environment is setup correctly.

```
cd /path/to/wp-content/themes
composer create-project wp-kit/theme theme --prefer-dist
cd theme
npm i
npm run build
```

When should you use wp-kit/theme?
---------------------------------

[](#when-should-you-use-wp-kittheme)

If you are looking for an `RAD` for Wordpress you may have come across [`Themosis Framework`](http://framework.themosis.com/) and [`Assely`](https://assely.org/).

`wp-kit/theme` is very much like these frameworks but has limited features; the benefit of using `wp-kit/theme` instead of [`themosis/theme`](https://github.com/themosis/themosis) and [`assely/assely`](https://github.com/assely/assely) is that you do not need to install any respective plugin framework as all the work in done in the theme and imported via `Composer`.

You should use `Themosis` or `Assely` is you require any handling of following:

- Routes
- Middleware
- Authentication
- Metaboxes
- Custom Fields

If you do not need these features then `wp-kit/theme` could be for you as it comes packaged with several `Themosis` and `Assely` features such as:

- ServiceProvider Config
- PostType Registration
- Taxonomy Registration
- Invoke Controllers on Conditions
- View Handling

`wp-kit/theme` also comes with further features such as:

- Shortcode Registration
- Shortcode View Handling
- Twig (not in Assely)
