What is wpPostAble

Library provides a functionality for associating your models with WordPress WP_Post model. Once you create the instance, wpPostAble creates the WP_Post object and stores it in your instance.

You can manage your instance with such methods as

• $instance->getTitle();
• $instance->setTitle();
• $instance->getMetaField();
• $instance->setMetaField();
• $instance->getStatus();
• $instance->setStatus();
• $instance->getPost();
• $instance->getPostType();
• $instance->savePost();
• $instance->loadPost();
• $instance->publish();
• $instance->draft();

and others.

Use

• $instance->getParam();
• $instance->setParam();

method to manage metafields, stored inside posts table using post_content_filtered field.

How to use

1. Create your own class based on wpPostAble interface

   use iTRON\wpPostAble\wpPostAble;
   use iTRON\wpPostAble\wpPostAbleTrait;
   use iTRON\wpPostAble\Exceptions\wppaCreatePostException;
   use iTRON\wpPostAble\Exceptions\wppaLoadPostException;
   
   class Item implements wpPostAble {
     use wpPostAbleTrait;
     
     const POST_TYPE = 'item';
   }

2. Call wpPostAble() method in the beginning of the __construct() method of your class.

   Pass to it two parameters

   $post_type string WP post type, associated with your class

   $post_id int Post ID for existing post, or nothing for creating new post

      /**
       * @throws Exception\wppaLoadPostException
       * @throws Exception\wppaCreatePostException
       */
      public function __construct( int|null $post_id = null ) {
         $this->wpPostAble( self::POST_TYPE, (int) $post_id );
         
         // Do anything you need
      }

Now you are able to use your class

Create new post

$item = new Item();

or load from existing one

$item = new Item( $post_id );

Once you create an instance, wpPostAble creates new post in WordPress as a draft.

Let's try change the title

$item->setTitle('The best item');

Now you have set title, and let's try to save it in database

$item->savePost();

Maybe it's time to publish?

$item->publish();

You can do it by single line

$item->setTitle('The best item')->publish();

More options you can find in the description above and in the source code.
