README

Loader That assists with registering taxonomy taxonomies to a WordPress website.

Installation

Using Composer

composer require underpin/taxonomy-loader

Manually

This plugin uses a built-in autoloader, so as long as it is required before Underpin, it should work as-expected.

require_once(__DIR__ . '/underpin-taxonomies/taxonomies.php');

Setup

  1. Install Underpin. See Underpin Docs
  2. Register new taxonomies menus as-needed.

Example

A very basic example could look something like this.

// Register taxonomy
underpin()->taxonomies()->add( 'taxonomy', [
	'post_type'   => 'post',                        // Defaults to post.
	'id'          => 'ingredients',                 // Required. See register_taxonomy
	'description' => 'Ingredients for this recipe', // Human-readable description.
	'name'        => 'Ingredients',                 // Human-readable name. Usually plural. Will set "label" argument if name is unset in args.
	'args'        => [                              // Default atts. See register_taxonomy
		'public' => true,
	],
] );

Alternatively, you can extend Taxonomy and reference the extended class directly, like so:

underpin()->taxonomies()->add('taxonomy-key','Namespace\To\Class');

Querying

A Taxonomy instance includes a method, called query, which serves as a wrapper for new WP_Term_Query.

This encapsulates queries for this taxonomy in a method, and gives you a place to override exactly how this taxonomy is queried, should you decide to extend the class.

underpin()->taxonomies()->get( 'taxonomy' )->query();

Editing Terms

Like querying, Taxonomy instances includes a method called save which serves as a wrapper for wp_insert_term and wp_update_term. It also includes notice-logging so you can track what happens on a request.

This encapsulates save actions for this taxonomy in a set of methods, and gives you a place to override exactly how this taxonomy is saved, should you decide to extend the class.

underpin()->taxonomies()->get( 'taxonomy' )->save( [/* see wp_insert_post */] );

Deleting Terms

This works in the same way as save and query. It includes logging, and provides a way to encapsulate the action.

underpin()->taxonomies()->get( 'taxonomy' )->delete( $term );
