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?

Getting Started

Demo

Refer to the Framework Demo for a complete plugin example and to the Wiki for complete documentation.

Once the framework is installed and Composer's autoloader is loaded by your plugin, you can initialize it the following way:

The framework will search for a model file, by default in the folder src/models. This can be changed using a filter.

A model file should return one array or a multidimensional array of models to build the Custom Post Types or Taxonomies. Simple example:

The above example will create a Custom Post Type 'movie'.

Several models in same file:

The above example will create a Custom Post Type 'movie' and a hierarchical Taxonomy 'genre' associated with the Custom Post Type 'movie'.
