In the journey of WordPress, the Block Editor has introduced many packages integral to its core. Over time, these packages have significantly evolved, becoming versatile tools usable within and beyond WordPress itself. Our team continually harnesses these packages to build internal tools, and client projects, and explore new possibilities. Our team’s common challenge was the repetitive task of recreating the same UI elements and maintaining numerous code snippets. Often, we found ourselves duplicating the UI we had already developed or creating something remarkably similar to what existed in the core. What began as simple code snippets eventually transformed into WPUI.…

Extending the Query Loop Block: Creating a Custom “Most Popular” Variation

We’ve been early adopters of the Block Editor/Gutenberg and have been using it in various ways. As part of our internal streamlining process, we’ve been shifting towards block-based solutions. As a result, we’ve been transferring multiple client projects to blocks, which has been a really interesting learning journey for us. It’s been a blast pushing the limits and discovering all that we can achieve with blocks. Currently, we’re working on an exciting client project, helping them make the switch from a hybrid theme to a block-based theme. Their website relies on custom queries to feature content on the homepage, including…

WPUI Updates Exciting things are happening with WPUI! We’re making great strides on both internal and client requirements, which are driving continuous improvements. We’re refreshing UI patterns, polishing existing ones, and adding new features. One notable update is the enhancement to ActionPanels, frequently used across various applications.

Additionally, we’re refining existing UI patterns, especially around cards. Expect to see updates and new posts this month, focusing on better ways to…

Quick Start Your Ideas With WPUI Plugin and App Boilerplate

April 2, 2024Ajit BohraWordPress

00

A few months ago, we introduced WPUI – an open-source design pattern library that uses WordPress components as building blocks to create React-powered WordPress plugins or apps. With WPUI, you can spend less time on UI and more time developing your ideas. We use WPUI extensively to design modern UI for our internal and client projects. However, the process of setting up the project can be repetitive. To simplify this, we have created a boilerplate for both the plugin and a standalone app. We’ve configured the boilerplate setup using wp-scripts and wp-components to kickstart the project quickly. Plugin Boilerplate This…

Writing Custom WP-CLI Command

March 18, 2024Ajit BohraWordPress

WordPress core comes with a command-line interface (CLI) called WP-CLI. This interface provides commands that allow developers to access and automate various aspects of WordPress from the command line. The benefits of the command line are that it can run and process on a server more efficiently, and can be scripted. However, there are cases where the core commands provided may not be sufficient, or developers may want to accomplish specific tasks. In such cases, WP-CLI enables developers to extend and write custom commands. We have used this feature extensively in various client projects, where bulk operations are required for…
