WordPress OOP attempts and best practices.

Caution

There are too many components I would need to write from scratch. Hence, in my second approach,
I used the Symfony Components, which are by default standalone and usable: elias-knodel/wordpress-x-symfony

WordPress OOP attempts and best practices.

Development

1. Install Composer Dependencies

composer install

2. Start Local Instance

docker compose up -d

3. Install Composer Dependencies

docker compose exec wordpress composer install

4. Go to http://localhost:8080 and install WordPress and change permalink settings OR

5. Wait until you see the installation page and then execute these two commands

docker compose run --rm --remove-orphans wpcli core install --url="localhost:8000" --title="Local WordPress" --admin_user="admin" --admin_password="admin" --admin_email="[e-mail]"

docker compose run --rm --remove-orphans wpcli option update permalink_structure '/%postname%/'

Other Commands

1. Stop Local Instance

docker compose down

2. If you want you can easily reset the database

docker compose down -v

Description

• All the code is an example of how you would implement modern Software architecture with WordPress.
• It uses the Rest API, a Serializer and more to allow easy synchronization between an extern and the WP Intern Database.
• Goal is to make this something like a boilerplate for future projects.
• Because it's just a boilerplate and under the MIT license, you can use it freely as a starting point for your own projects.

(Planned) Features and Inspiration

• Backend Settings for api mappings
• Queue system to sync something again / back if a job has failed
• Serializer for easier work with woocommerce.
  • Example: Receiving a product as json and converting it to a WC_Product / saving it to the database.
