WordPress Runtime Module

Runtime for Newfold WP modules and plugins

Module Responsibilities

• prepareRuntime method in Runtime class accepts container object as parameter and generates a PHP object which contains:

    siteUrl, 
    siteTitle, 
    adminUrl, 
    homeUrl, 
    capabilties, 
    Woocommerce plugin active/inactive status, 
    YithBooking plugins active/inactive status(yith-woocommerce-booking-extended / yith-woocommerce-booking-premium / yith-woocommerce-booking), 
    JetpackBoost plugin active/inactive status, 
    WordPress version, 
    currentTheme.
    

• Above PHP object is then converted into a JSON-encoded string and assigned NewfoldRuntime JS variable.

• NewfoldRuntime JSON object can be imported in any React components in newfold-labs modules as specified in Usage section below.

• Structure of NewfoldRuntime JSON object consumed by React components is as below.

• Please note, redundant values are kept for backward compatibility and will be removed soon, as part tech-debt initiative.

Critical Paths

• Runtime should provides,
  1. WordPress site meta data
  2. Site capabilties
  3. WooCommerce & YITH plugin active/inactive status
  4. Brand plugin information
  5. Ecommerce details like, Payment & Shipping third party softwares supported and Support contact information
  6. WordPress version
  7. Current WordPress Theme.
• Runtime module should support addition of custom values as per need.

Installation

Previously, this module's package was hosted at github and these instructions were required GH Packages Setup. Now the package is hosted at npmjs and this referenced setup is no longer relevant. Find the npmjs package at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@newfold/wp-module-runtime and install just as any other public package. Note the newfold org namespace for npmjs and the newfold-labs org namespace for github and satis.

1. Install the @newfold/wp-module-runtime npm package.

npm install @newfold/wp-module-runtime

PHP Module

The PHP module can be installed only on the Brand plugin.

1. Add the Newfold Satis to your composer.json.

composer config repositories.newfold composer https://newfold-labs.github.io/satis

2. Require the newfold/wp-module-runtime package.

composer require newfold/wp-module-runtime

Usage

In your React component you can import the runtime module as so,

import { NewfoldRuntime } from "@newfold/wp-module-runtime";

function Component(props) {
  if (NewfoldRuntime.hasCapability("hasYithExtended")) {
    //
  }
}

Advanced Usage

Adding custom values

While the default runtime has useful values, you can extend the runtime and add newer values under NewfoldRuntime.sdk. This is done via use of WP filter.

An example usage

add_filter( 'newfold-runtime', array( $this, 'add_to_runtime' ) );

public function add_to_runtime( $sdk ) {
  return array_merge( $sdk, array( 'my_field' => 'custom value' ) );
}

Now when you use NewfoldRuntime.sdk.my_field, you'll see the value as 'custom value';

Type definition for NewfoldRuntime.sdk

As the runtime can be extended via the newfold-runtime filter, you can also configure the type definitions to make sure you safely access the extended values. Since sdk is an TS interface, it can be easily extended in the following manner.

declare module "@newfold/wp-module-runtime" {
  export interface DefaultSdk {
    my_field: string;
  }
}

Now when you use NewfoldRuntime.sdk, your editor should give you the correct type hints.
