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.

Informations about the package wp-pattern-library

WP Pattern Library

Generate a browsable Markdown pattern library — with screenshots — from a WordPress site's registered block patterns.

📖 Documentation

A block theme of any size is going to end up with dozens or hundreds of patterns. That is a design system, and it has the design system problem: the names live in patterns/*.php, the appearance lives in the block inserter behind a login, and neither is somewhere you can point at.

This plugin generates the missing artifact. The site serves a manifest of its registered patterns and renders each one in isolation; a Node CLI captures them with Playwright and writes an index plus one page per category. The result is Markdown and images you commit — so it renders on GitHub, it is searchable, and when a pattern's appearance changes, the changed screenshot shows up in review.

It works against your local environment or a live site. A GitHub Action can run the whole thing and open a pull request with the refreshed docs.

Install

Three separate packages ship from this repository, all from the same tag:

Name How you use it
WordPress plugin humanmade/wp-pattern-library composer require humanmade/wp-pattern-library
CLI @humanmade/wp-pattern-library npm install -D @humanmade/wp-pattern-library
GitHub Action humanmade/wp-pattern-library uses: humanmade/[email protected]

The plugin belongs on the site you capture from. The CLI runs wherever you generate the library — your machine, or CI — so the site itself never needs Node. The action is a thin wrapper around the CLI for running the whole thing in a workflow; pin it to a released tag, as there is deliberately no moving @v1 tag while the package is pre-1.0.

Quick start

Full walkthrough, including the things that catch people out: Getting started.

Commands

Screenshots are written only when their bytes change, so re-running does not churn images whose content merely shifted underneath them. The run summary flags patterns that rendered empty, failed outright, or referenced resources that no longer load.

What you get

Each pattern gets its screenshot, description, categories, keywords, block and post types, and the viewport it was captured at.

Beyond the basics, the generator can capture section variants (the same pattern on a second ground), give query-loop item templates a post to bind to, settle scroll-triggered animations before capturing, and group categories into a multi-level taxonomy.

Requirements

WordPress 6.1+ · PHP 8.1+ · Node 24+
