Quick Start Your Ideas With WPUI Plugin and App Boilerplate

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.

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.

Writing Custom WP-CLI Command

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.

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…

But, managing seed data can be tricky, especially when updating individual tables without affecting the entire database. That’s where the iSeed package comes in – it simplifies the process by automating the generation of seeder files for individual tables.
