FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

App-scoped assets

When wp_app_enqueue_style(), wp_app_enqueue_script(), wp_app_add_inline_style(), or wp_app_add_inline_script() receive an app scope, the asset is attached to that app's scoped hook. This prevents assets from one WpApp from printing in another WpApp.

You can also pass an explicit app scope when registering assets before render time:

Use [ 'app' => 'global' ] for framework-level assets that should print for every WpApp.

Keep CSS and JavaScript in asset files and load them with the scoped enqueue helpers. Avoid writing inline <style> or <script> blocks, style attributes, and event-handler attributes in templates. For dynamic values, use HTML data attributes that an external script can read.

App themes

Apps and add-on plugins register themes with their own template directories on the app-specific initialization filter. This runs on WordPress init, when it is safe to translate the theme name:

WpApp adds a Themes submenu to the app's masterbar and remembers the current user's selection. The selected theme's templates take priority, while missing templates fall back to the app's regular template directory. See App Themes for add-on registration and theme-specific asset hooks.
