Poet

Latest Stable Version Total Downloads Build Status

Poet provides simple configuration-based post type, taxonomy, editor color palette, block category, block pattern and block registration/modification.

Features

  • Dead simple post type and taxonomy registration, modification, and unregistering powered by Extended CPTs.
  • Easy editor color palette configuration including built-in support for webpack-palette-plugin.
  • Blocks registered are rendered using Laravel Blade on the frontend.
  • Block Patterns registered can have their content defined using Laravel Blade too.
  • Add additional block categories with nothing more than a slug.
  • Move parent admin menu items to the Tools submenu using their page slug.

Requirements

Installation

Install via Composer:

$ composer require log1x/poet

Getting Started

Start with publishing the Poet configuration file using Acorn:

$ wp acorn vendor:publish --provider="Log1x\Poet\PoetServiceProvider"

Usage

Registering a Post Type

All configuration related to Poet is located in config/poet.php. Here you will find an example Book post type pre-configured with a few common settings:

'post' => [
    'book' => [
        'enter_title_here' => 'Enter book title',
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-book-alt',
        'supports' => ['title', 'editor', 'author', 'revisions', 'thumbnail'],
        'show_in_rest' => true,
        'has_archive' => false,
        'labels' => [
            'singular' => 'Book',
            'plural' => 'Books',
        ],
    ],
],

In it's simplest form, a post type can be created by simply passing a string:

'post' => [
    'book',
],

To modify an existing post type, simply treat it as if you are creating a new post type passing only the configuration options you wish to change:

'post' => [
    'post' => [
        'labels' => [
            'singular' => 'Article',
            'plural' => 'Articles',
        ],
    ],
],

It is also possible to unregister an existing post type by simply passing false:

'post' => [
    'book' => false,
],

Please note that some built-in post types (e.g. Post) can not be conventionally unregistered.

For additional configuration options for post types, please see:

Note: Do not nest configuration in a config key like shown in the Extended CPTs documentation.

Registering a Taxonomy

Registering a taxonomy is similar to a post type. Looking in config/poet.php, you will see a Genre taxonomy accompanying the default Book post type:

'taxonomy' => [
    'genre' => [
        'links' => ['book'],
        'meta_box' => 'radio',
    ],
],

The most relevent configuration option is links which defines the post type the taxonomy is connected to. If no link is specified, it will default to post.

To view an archive for the Genre taxonomy, copy the Blade template called archive.blade.php to a new file called taxonomy-genre.blade.php.

In it's simplest form, you can simply pass a string. The example below would create a Topic taxonomy for the Post post type:

'taxonomy' => [
    'topic',
],

As with post types, to modify an existing taxonomy, simply pass only the configuration options you wish to change:

'taxonomy' => [
    'category' => [
        'labels' => [
            'singular' => 'Section',
            'plural' => 'Sections',
        ],
    ],
],

Also like post types, you can easily unregister an existing taxonomy by simply passing false:

'taxonomy' => [
    'post_tag' => false,
    'category' => false,
],

For additional configuration options for taxonomies, please see:

Note: Do not nest configuration in a config key like shown in the Extended CPTs documentation.

Registering a Block

Poet provides an easy way to register a Gutenberg block with the editor using an accompanying Blade view for rendering the block on the frontend.

Blocks are registered using the namespace/label defined when registering the block with the editor.

If no namespace is provided, the current theme's text domain will be used instead.

Registering a block in most cases is as simple as:

'block' => [
    'sage/accordion',
],

Creating a Block View

Given the block sage/accordion, your accompanying Blade view would be located at views/blocks/accordion.blade.php.

Block views have the following variables available:

  • $data – An object containing the block data.
  • $content – A string containing the InnerBlocks content. Returns null when empty.

By default, when checking if $content is empty, it is passed through a method to remove all tags and whitespace before evaluating. This assures that editor bloat like nbsp; or empty <p></p> tags do not cause $content to always return true when used in a conditional.

If you do not want this behavior on a particular block, simply register it as an array:

'block' => [
    'sage/accordion' => ['strip' => false],
],

If you need to register block attributes using PHP on a particular block, simply pass the attributes in an array when registering:

'block' => [
    'sage/accordion' => [
        'attributes' => [
            'title' => [
                'default' => 'Lorem ipsum',
                'type' => 'string',
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

Consider an accordion block that is registered with a title and className attribute. Your view might look something like this:

<div class="wp-block-accordion {{ $data->className ?? '' }}">
  @isset ($data->title)
    <h2>{!! $data->title !!}</h2>
  @endisset

  <div>
    {!! $content ?? 'Please feed me InnerBlocks.' !!}
  </div>
</div>

Registering a Block Category

Poet provides an easy to way register, modify, and unregister Gutenberg block categories. Looking in the config, you will see a commented out example for a Call to Action category:

'block_category' => [
    'cta' => [
        'title' => 'Call to Action',
        'icon' => 'star-filled',
    ],
],

This would result in a block category with a slug of cta. Once your block category is registered, you must register a block to its slug before the category will appear in the editor.

In it's simplest form, you can simply pass a string:

'block_category' => [
    'my-cool-blocks',
],

which would result in a my-cool-blocks category automatically converting the slug to title case.

You can also specify the title by passing a value to your slug:

'block_category' => [
    'my-cool-blocks' => 'Best Blocks, World.',
],

Like post types and taxonomies, modifying an existing block category is the same as registering one:

'block_category' => [
    'layouts' => 'Sections',
    'common' => ['icon' => 'star-filled'],
],

You can unregister an existing block category by simply passing false:

'block_category' => [
    'common' => false,
],

Registering a Block Pattern

Poet can also register Block Patterns for you, with an optional Blade view for the content.

Patterns are registered using the namespace/label defined when registering the pattern with the editor.

If no namespace is provided, the current theme's text domain will be used instead.

Registering a block in most cases is as simple as:

'block_pattern' => [
    'sage/hero' => [
        'title' => 'Page Hero',
        'description' => 'Draw attention to the main focus of the page, and highlight key CTAs',
        'categories' => ['all'],
    ],
],

You can register the actual content for the pattern here as well, using the content key. Or leave it blank to use a corresponding blade view.

'block_pattern' => [
    'sage/fake-paragraph' => [
        'title' => 'Fake Paragraph',
        'description' => 'Filler content used instead of actual content for testing purposes',
        'categories' => ['all'],
        'content' => '<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Ratione nulla culpa repudiandae nisi nostrum et, labore earum repellendus porro, mollitia voluptas quam? Modi sint tempore deleniti nesciunt ab, perferendis et.</p><!-- /wp:paragraph -->',
    ],
],

Creating a Pattern View

Given the block sage/fake-paragraph, if no content key is defined, then your accompanying Blade view would be located at views/block-patterns/fake-paragraph.blade.php.

This Block Pattern view may look like this:

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Ratione nulla culpa repudiandae nisi nostrum et, labore earum repellendus porro, mollitia voluptas quam? Modi sint tempore deleniti nesciunt ab, perferendis et.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Registering a Block Pattern Category

Block Pattern Categories can be added with the following code in the poet config:

'block_pattern_category' => [
    'all' => [
        'label' => 'All Patterns',
    ],
],

You can specify all category properties such as label, as per the block editor handbook.

Note: Currently, if no Block Pattern Categories are available at all, the Block Patterns tab in the editor will crash when clicked on.

Registering an Editor Color Palette

Poet attempts to simplify registering a color palette with the editor a bit by not requiring such strict, fragile array markup.

While you can of course pass said array directly, you are also able to register colors by simply passing a slug along with a color and letting Poet handle the rest.

'palette' => [
    'red' => '#ff0000',
    'blue' => '#0000ff',
],

Alternatively to passing an array, Poet also accepts a JSON file containing your color palette. Poet will generally look for this file in dist/ by default.

'palette' => 'colors.json',

If you are using the Palette Webpack Plugin, you may also simply pass true to automatically use the generated palette.json during build.

'palette' => true,
