WP Plugin Framework

A lightweight foundation for rapid WordPress plugin development. The framework provides reusable classes for common tasks such as database setup, custom post types, REST API endpoints and more. Build feature rich plugins without rewriting boilerplate every time.

Requirements

• PHP 7.1+
• WordPress 5.0+

Installation

composer install

For production use composer install --no-dev.

Usage

1. Update namespaces in wp-plugin-framework.php and Plugin/PluginLoader.php to match your plugin name.
2. Instantiate any of the engine classes or extend them to add your own logic.
3. A lightweight service container now powers PluginLoader, keeping class instantiation clean and testable.
4. Register plugin features inside PluginLoader to keep everything organised.

Features

• Settings pages, widgets, metaboxes and shortcodes
• Database migration helpers
• Fluent API integration class
• Cron scheduler wrapper
• REST API controller scaffold
• Simple service container for dependency injection
