FAQ
Example:
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 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.

WP Early Hook
Small library to safely add WordPress hooks before WordPress is loaded.
What
This package provides two functions:
WeCodeMore\earlyAddAction()WeCodeMore\earlyAddFilter()
Having the same signature of WP's add_action and add_filter, but they are loaded with
Composer autoload, and can add hooks before WordPress is actually loaded.
Why
When we write code for WordPress with Composer support, we might be tempted to use Composer autoload file functionality to add WordPress action and filters.
When the code we're writing is part of a WP Starter project that works well, because WP Starter loads the WP plugin API before loading the Composer autoload.
But if we aim to release the code as "standalone" we don't know where it'll be used and so it might
be possible that when the Composer autoload file is required the WP plugin API is not loaded yet,
and so calling add_action/add_filter will result in a fatal error.
How
The two functions of this package first check if the actual WP functions are available, if so, it used them.
If WP functions are not available, it checks if ABSPATH constant is defined. If so, it uses it
to load the wp-includes/plugin.php file that defines the hooks API.
Since WP 4.7, that file is independent of the rest of WordPress and can be loaded before WP is
loaded. After the file is loaded, this package's functions can call the WP functions.
In the case not even ABSPATH constant is defined, this package's functions resort to fill the
$wp_filter global variable, which WordPress will "reconciliate" when loaded using
WP_Hook::build_preinitialized_hooks.

- WordPress 4.7+ (Only tested on 5.9+ for PHP 8.1+)
