Data Store API – Build, Test, & Validate

In Part 4 of the Data Store Project series, you’ll build the API for each implementation of the data store. The API will hide away the implementation, allowing you to switch implementations without having to change the code that uses the API.

What You’ll Be Doing

Complete Master Series Project

This is a master series, meaning that you are defining, building, and testing a complete project while mastering each part of the process.
We start at the beginning and together walk through the project, step-by-step just like if we were on a team together.

Don’t skip steps. Walk systematically with me throughout each episode of each lab in this series.

Data Store Project Setup

Data Store - Project Setup

Before we start the project, you need to setup the project's environment. You'll use this environment and workflow throughout the series to plan, build, test, and validate the data store. You'll fork the starter plugin, clone it to your local machine, run the starter test suite, and walk through the plugin's architecture and setup.

Data Store - Planning the Requirements

Data Store - Planning the Requirements

Before we can build the data store, we need to understand what it is we need to build. In this lab, you'll think through each of the requirements, working to define what makes a store a store, how to interact with it, what functionality is needed, and conceptually how to achieve it, and then what approaches you'll employ in the series.

Data Store - Build, Test, & Validate the Basics

Data Store - Build, Test, & Validate the Basics

Let's build, test, and validate the basics of the data store. In this hands-on coding lab, you'll build the basic functionality and attributes of the data store in 3 different implementations: procedural, static class, and OOP. You'll build a full test suite. And you'll validate that the code complies to the WordPress Coding Standard.
