Welcome to the DTRT WordPress Plugin Boilerplate wiki!
The goals of this plugin are:
- to support modular plugin-based WordPress development
- to consolidate best practice techniques
- to create a familiar, standardised interface for plugin development
- to allow the boilerplate code to be maintained independently of the plugin functionality
- to allow different versions of the boilerplate to exist, to reduce maintenance time
- to permit a focus on plugin functionality during development
This is an evolution of several other approaches:
- generates a WordPress plugin from a Yeoman template
- difficult to track evolving changes to boilerplate code
- WordPress parent theme
- bundles common functionality
- functionality too tightly coupled
- someone else's code
- not intuitive
- dependent on an external maintainer
