The Platform broken down:

The various components to the platform are named after some of my favorite Anime characters. All of this code is open-sourced on my BitBucket.

WP-Scaffold

The starting point for every project, the scaffold contains a script that when run will rename, pull in all necessary plugins, configure the initial asset build of the new project, and will lastly create a new repository in the destination of choice (in my case its BitBucket).

Gilgamesh

The backend plugin that contains all backend core theme or generic PHP logic. For example, various models such as Post, Page, or DTO can be found in this plugin. You would also find any generic controller logic, such as a FactoryController to register new custom post types.

Ishtar

The frontend plugin that contains all frontend core theme or generic javascript or css code. For example, the core stylings for headings, buttons and images can be found in this plugin. Another example would be a javascript file (object) that contains viewport methods like isInViewport().

Ereshkigal

The Gutenberg block plugin that contains all frontend and backend code that is specific to generic Gutenberg blocks. An example of this would be the PostCard component. All frontend and backend files for the PostCard component reside within this plugin.

The Platform Specifics:

  • WordPress Gutenberg (PHP) [5.7+: “Esperanza”]
  • ES6 / React / Webpack / Babel / Sass
  • FieldManager for custom fields
  • NPM for front end package management
  • Composer for plugin management
