WCS Plugin Boilerplate

A WordPress plugin boilerplate built from the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate Generator. It includes autoloading, namespaces and a well-structured OOP approach to plugin development.

Set Up

You can use the npx command to run the generator. To run the generator, run:

  npx wcs-pb-generator make-plugin <plugin-folder-name>

Here is the values it will ask you for replacement:

Type	Type	Description
Plugin Name	WCS Plugin Boilerplate	Replace with your plugin's name
Plugin Slug	wcs-plugin-boilerplate	Replace with your plugin's slug
Plugin Namespace	Plugin_Namespace	Replace with your main plugin's namespace
Plugin Version	WCSPB_VERSION	Replace with your plugin's version constant
Plugin Path	WCSPB_PATH	Replace with your plugin's path constant
Plugin Author Name	Plugin Author	Replace with your plugin author's name
Plugin Author Email	authorEmail	Replace with your plugin author's email

Composer Set Up

Once all the placeholders have been properly set, go into composer.json and change the name to match your project's VenderName\PluginName. Usually you will only have to change the vendor name as the plugin name will be set to your plugin slug.

Next, edit the content in the authors section to match your information.

Once everything is set, run composer install to create the vendor folder with the autoloader files.
