Theme Sniffer plugin using sniffs. WordPress-Theme standard is used from WPTRT/WordPress-Coding-Standards.
- Download zip file. [Note: Please use this distribution plugin zip. GitHub provided zip will not work.]
- Install this as you normally install a WordPress plugin
- Activate plugin
- Clone this repo under
wp-content/plugins/ - Run
composer install - Run
npm install - Run
npm run build - Activate plugin
Note: If you build the plugin this way you'll have extra node_modules/ and vendor/ folders which are not required for the plugin to run, and just take up space. They are to be used for the development purposes mainly.
- Go to
Appearance->Theme Sniffer - Select theme from the dropdown
- Click
GO
Select Standard- Select the standard with which you would like to sniff the theme.Hide Warning- Enable this to hide warnings.Raw Output- Enable this to display sniff report in plaintext format. Suitable to copy/paste report to trac ticket.PHP version- Select the minimum PHP Version to check if your theme will work with that version.
All of the development asset files are located in the assets/dev/ folder. We have refactored the plugin to use the latest JavaScript development methods. This is why we are using webpack to bundle our assets.
To start developing, first clone this repo under wp-content/plugins/. Then run in the terminal
npm start
This will run webpack in the watch mode, so your changes will be saved in the build folder on the fly. After you're done making changes, run
npm run build
This will create the assets/build/ folder with js and css files that the plugin will use.
When developing JavaScript code keep in mind the separation of concerns principle - data access and business logic should be separate from the presentation. If you 'sniff' (no pun intended) through the js code, you'll see that index.js holds all event triggers and calls the method for sniff start that is located in the separate ThemeSniffer class. Business logic modules should contain plain JavaScript (no framework), which makes it reusable. Of course, there is still room for imporvement, so if you notice something that could be improved we incurage you to make a PR :)
