New Project: wppb-mod
If you’re a WordPress developer working on your own plugins, you may have come across Tom McFarlin’s WordPress Plugin Boilerplate. I used its previous iteration to start WP-Gistpen, and I’ve got another plugin or two in the works that’s also based on it. The latest version was a major upgrade, with better organization and lot of excess code removed. I like it a lot, but as WP-Gistpen got more advanced, the public/admin/includes structure became too limiting. I rearranged the Boilerplate’s folder structure, added my toolset, and registered the resulting package on Packagist.
Meet wppb-mod.
My favorite part about this is you can run composer create-project maadhaattah/wppb-mod <folder>
and you have a good structure to get started. This also means we can add a script that will find/replace the Plugin Name
and related strings in the files as you run the composer command, something similar to this, making the whole process of starting a new plugin super simple.
