WCS Plugin Boilerplate Generator

This package helps you create a WordPress plugin boilerplate easily. If you want to download the boilerplate directly, go here.

Set Up

In your terminal, navigate to your WordPress installation's /wp-content/plugins/ folder.

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.
