The project makes use of wp-env for a local testing environment, composer for PHP
dependencies (such as phpunit), and npm for the package manager wrapper.
- Set up composer
composer install - Set up build dependencies
npm install
That's it for the basics, you're now ready to make changes to the codebase!
Ready to test your changes? Wonderful!
Start by building the project:
npm run build
Once that's done, you should have a new directory named string-locator which holds the ready to use plugin.
If you have your own testing setup, you may use that now, if not, using wp-env is a convenient way to test the plugin.
npm run wp-env startwill start the environment onhttp://localhost:8888npm run wp-env stopstops the environment
If you are familiar with wp-env already, you may call any of its functions using npm run wp-env [command], or read more about wp-env in the WordPress Developers handbook
