Planning it Out
Lab: Making the Collapsible Content Plugin Reusable – Part 3
Video Runtime: 12:26
Let’s talk about and plan what we are going to do in this lab. We want to build a central repository, some module, that will be responsible for generating and registering post types, taxonomies, and shortcodes.
There are different strategies for building a central repository:
- You can build a central plugin, such as Fulcrum1.
- Build a package and then publish it on Packagist. Then you’d use Composer to include it into your plugin.
- Or you can build a module and place it into one of your plugins for the project.
1Fulcrum is currently being rebuilt with some new goodies in it. Plus, it will be fully documented. I’ll create labs for you too to use it for yourself….later.
In this lab, you will build a module within our plugin.
Laying out the architecture
Let’s lay out our general architecture for our new central repository module. In this episode, you will start laying out the files and architecture, as we talk through the plan.
Whoever says that coding is hard, just smack them.
