Let’s build the centralized data, state, and configuration parameters store in an Object Oriented (OOP) architecture. What You Will Learn X Prerequisites See the list of prerequisites and suggestions on the series landing page.
Labs
Labs are hands-on coding projects that you build along with Tonya as she explains the code, concepts, and thought processes behind it. You can use the labs to further your code knowledge or to use right in your projects. Each lab ties into the Docx to ensure you have the information you need.
Each lab is designed to further your understanding and mastery of code. You learn more about how to think about its construction, quality, maintainability, programmatic and logical thought, and problem-solving. While you may be building a specific thing, Tonya presents the why of it to make it adaptable far beyond that specific implementation, thereby giving you the means to make it your own, in any context.
Centralized Data, State, & Config Store – Built in OOP
Centralized Data, State, & Config Store – Built in Static Class
Let’s build the centralized data, state, and configuration parameters store in a static class architecture. What You Will Learn X Prerequisites See the list of prerequisites and suggestions on the series landing page.
Centralized Data, State, & Config Store – Built in Procedural
Let’s build the centralized data, state, and configuration parameters store in a procedural function-based architecture. What You Will Learn X Prerequisites See the list of prerequisites and suggestions on the series landing page.
Centralized Data, State, & Config Store – Planning the Requirements
Before we can build the store, we need to understand what it is we need to build. In this hands-on coding lab, you’ll work with Tonya to plan out the needs, requirements, and approaches that you’ll employ in the series. What You Will Learn X Prerequisites See the list of prerequisites and suggestions on the series landing page.
Unit Testing with Brain Monkey
How can you unit test your plugin or theme without WordPress or other dependencies? You simulate the dependencies. My favorite tool to redefine and mock functions is Brain Monkey. In this hands-on testing lab, you will write unit tests using Brain Monkey.
`with()` – Code Challenge
Let’s walk through the code challenge I gave to you in the last episode.
More with `with()`
Let’s build another test to learn more about using with()
`with()`
We can test that the arguments the mocked function receives are what we expect by using the with() method. Mockery, which is baked into Brain Monkey, inspects the received arguments and then tests each one against what you’ve defined it should receive. This feature allows us to ensure our code is properly doing its work and sending the right set of data to the function we are mocking. Here, let me show you.
`stubs()`
Stubs give you a way to redefine multiple functions by passing an array to Brain Monkey. This toolset is handy for things such as WordPress escaping and internationalization functions, as we can bulk define these functions in your Test Case. Here is an example of how we do it with the Beans framework.
