README
Work with common WordPress Plugin and Theme APIs in a modern, object-oriented way.
By Max Melzer
The WordPress Toolkit is a Composer module that offers easy access to common WordPress functionality, inspired by modern PHP frameworks like Symfony.
It's aim is to provide consistent, object-oriented methods for WordPress plugin and theme development.
Installation
To use the toolkit, add it to your theme or plugin via Composer.
cd wp-content/themes/your-awesome-theme
composer init
composer require moehrenzahn/wp-toolkit
Then, you can initialize the Client class in your PHP script. This is the entry point to all functionality of the toolkit.
<?php $client = new \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\Api\Client();

Usage example
Add a CSS file to your theme:
<?php // Entry point for all actions is the Client object $client = new \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\Api\Client(); $stylesheets = $client->getStylesheetManager(); $stylesheets->add('eule-stylesheet', 'src/css/style.css', '1.0.0');
Add a shortcode with a custom template:
<?php $client = new \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\Api\Client(); $shortcodes = $client->getShortcodeManager(); $shortcodes->add( 'my-shortcode', $client->getViewFactory()->create('shortcode-template.phtml') );
Create a custom settings page with pre-built input type templates.
<?php $client = new \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\Api\Client(); $client->getAdminPageManager()->addSettingsPage( 'Sample settings page', 'sample-settings-page', getSections($client) ); /** * @param \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\Api\Client $client * @return Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\View\Settings\Section[] */ function getSections(\Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\Api\Client $client): array { $sectionBuilder = $client->getSettingsSectionBuilder(); $sectionBuilder->addSetting( 'my-sample-setting', 'A sample setting title', \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\AdminPage\SettingsSectionBuilder::SETTING_TYPE_BOOLEAN, 'A sample setting description.' ); $sectionBuilder->addSetting( 'my-sample-select', 'Select your thing', \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\AdminPage\SettingsSectionBuilder::SETTING_TYPE_SELECT, 'You can also do select inputs!', [ 'sample-option-value' => 'Sample option label', 'another-option-value' => 'Another option!', ] ); return [$sectionBuilder->create('sample-section', 'A sample settings section')]; }
Use the built-in View
class to render your templates and get
access to features like lazy-loading images and partials:
<?php /** @var \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\View $view */ ?> <h2>Here comes a lazy-loaded partial that is only loaded when it's scrolled into view:</h2> <?php $view->renderLazyPartial( 'your-template-to-load.phtml', 'your-static-placeholder-template.phtml' ) ?>
Use the object manager to initalize objects with automatic dependency resolution.
<?php $client = new \Moehrenzahn\Toolkit\Api\Client(); $objectManager = $client->getObjectManager(); /** * The object manager will try to automatically and recursively * resolve all dependencies of the given class. * Don't use this for very large projects since it can impact performance. */ $customObject = $objectManager->getSingleton(YourCustomClass::class);
