WordPress Plugin Boilerplate Powered

WordPress Plugin Boilerplate Powered is a complete foundation for building your WordPress plugins following PSR-4 standard.
The project history is part of the Wiki that also includes the workflow and how it is organized.

Every experienced WordPress developer uses always the same libraries (or snippets) but at the same time follows best practices.
Choose a library or a snippet and the boilerplate (with the help of the Code Generator) will generate everything without the need of manual copy&paste way or searching on the Internet!

Features

Available Libraries and other stuff

• Code Generator to start development
• Sass support and Grunt (not mandatory because the generator can remove them)
• PSR-4 support by Composer but extended to load classes based on request type and folder structure
• Tools integrated like GrumpPHP (automatically on commit) and PHPStan
• GitHub Action and GitLab CI available
• Many libraries already available (with starter code)
