What is wpPostAble

Library provides a functionality for associating your classes with WordPress class WP_Post. Once you create the instance, wpPostAble creates the WP_Post object and stores this in your instance.

You can manage your instance with such methods as

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

and others.

How to use

Preparing step by step.

1. Create your own class based on wpPostAble interface

   use iTRON\wpPostAble;
   
   class Item implements wpPostAble{
       use wpPostAbleTrait;
   }

2. Call wpPostAble() method in the beginning __construct() 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() {
         $this->wpPostAble( POST_TYPE, $post_id );
         
         // Do anything you need
      }

Now you are able to use your class

$item = new Item();

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();
