Getting Started
Run the following in your terminal to install PostTypes with Composer.
$ composer require jjgrainger/posttypes
PostTypes uses PSR-4 autoloading and can be used with the Composer's autoloader. Below is a basic example of getting started, though your setup may be different depending on how you are using Composer.
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';use PostTypes\PostType;$books = new PostType('book');$books->register();
See Composer's basic usage guide for details on working with Composer and autoloading.
Below is a basic example of setting up a simple book post type with a genre taxonomy.
// Require the Composer autoloader.require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';// Import PostTypes.use PostTypes\PostType;// Create a book post type.$books = new PostType( 'book' );// Attach the genre taxonomy (which is created below).$books->taxonomy( 'genre' );// Hide the date and author columns.$books->columns()->hide( [ 'date', 'author' ] );// Set the Books menu icon.$books->icon( 'dashicons-book-alt' );// Register the post type to WordPress.$books->register();// Create a genre taxonomy.$genres = new Taxonomy( 'genre' );// Set options for the taxonomy.$genres->options( ['hierarchical' => false,] );// Register the taxonomy to WordPress.$genres->register();
