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. 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.

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. 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…

Simplifying Database Seeding in Laravel with iSeed

If you’re a Laravel developer, you know how important database seeding is for quick setup of initial data during testing and development. 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. Recently, we worked on a client project that involved developing a system to store crucial data about users, including user profiles, authentication credentials, and permissions. However, during development, we faced a challenge of modifying the structure of the user…

Experimental Go To Top Plugin For WordPress

We have been strongly advocating leveraging WordPress packages to build plugins and apps. From using them on client projects to side projects we have embraced them as much as possible.
