As well, we recommend all developers follow the GiveWP development blog to stay up to date on the latest features and changes. Happy coding!

🌱 Getting Started

If you're looking to contribute or actively develop on GiveWP, welcome! We're glad you're here. Please ⭐️ this repository and fork it to begin local development.

Most of us are using Local by Flywheel to develop on WordPress, which makes set up quick and easy. If you prefer Docker, VVV, or another flavor of local development that's cool too!

✅ Prerequisites

• Node.js as JavaScript engine
• NPM npm command globally available in CLI
• Composer composer command globally available in CLI

💻 Local Development

To get started developing on the GiveWP platform you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Create a new WordPress site with give.test as the URL
2. cd into your local plugins directory: /path/to/wp-content/plugins/
3. Fork this repository from GitHub and then clone that into your plugins directory in a new give directory
4. Run composer install to set up dependencies
5. Run npm install to get the necessary npm packages
6. Activate the plugin in WordPress
7. Run npm run watch to start the watch process which will build the sass and script files and live reload using Browsersync

That's it. You're now ready to start development.

Development Notes

• Ensure that you have SCRIPT_DEBUG enabled within your wp-config.php file. Here's a good example of wp-config.php for debugging:

   // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
  define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
  
  // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
  define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
  
  // Loads unminified core files
  define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
  

• Commit the package.lock file. Read more about why here.
• Your editor should recognize the .eslintrc and .editorconfig files within the Repo's root directory. Please only submit PRs following those coding style rulesets.
• Read CONTRIBUTING.md - it contains more about contributing to GiveWP.
