This Visual Studio Code extension allows you to quickly create a WordPress playground for testing your code. It was initially created as part of Cloudfest Hackathon 2023.
This extension allows you to create a WordPress playground with a single command. Simply run the command Launch WordPress Playground while within a file in the root directory of your plugin and the extension will open up a panel that includes a locally running WordPress instance with your plugin running.
- The extension has only been tested on macOS. It may not work on Windows.
- The extension currently only takes into account plugins, not themes.
- The extension currently expects that the command is run while within a file in the root directory of the plugin. A WordPress playground will still be created and mounted, but the plugin will not be functional if the command is run from an unintended directory.
- Some requests may not succeed. This is likely due to the fact that we have a minimally implemented server translation layer.
Inside the wordpress-playground repo:
npx nx build:bundle php-wasm-node
npx nx recompile-php:all php-wasm-node --WITH_WS_NETWORKING_PROXY='no'
Place the index.js inside wordpress-playground/dist/packages/php-wasm/node and copy the wasm files into the VS code extension directory.
Hopefully fix the bug.
