README

Composer plugin to download translation files for WordPress core, plugins and themes from wordpress.org.

Installation

First run:

composer require bjornjohansen/wplang

Note: If you running Composer v1, make sure to require a version less than 0.2.0.

Then you’ll have to edit your composer.json file. You need to add the following section:

"extra": {
    "wordpress-languages": [ "en_GB", "nb_NO", "sv_SE" ],
    "wordpress-language-dir": "wp-content/languages"
}

You should probably want to customize these values to suit your needs.

Finally run:

composer update

Now Composer will try to pull down translations for your packages from wordpress.org every time you install or update a package.

CS and Testing

Prerequisites

In order to get a more consistent code style and introduce testing the project provides some commands to test in an isolated environment. To use the Makefile, ensure the following dependencies are installed on your system:

Usage

The Makefile includes commands to simplify common development and deployment tasks. Run any of the following commands by typing make <command> in your terminal:

  • make help Output a help section with a brief description of the commands
  • make setup Setup containers and development dependencies. This should run after composer install in a dev environment, but can be run manually if something is missing or has changed.
  • make composer This runs composer in the PHP 7.2 docker container. Pass additional flags like with the c="" option, e.g., make composer c="install --no-autoloader"
  • make test Run PHPUnit tests.
  • make checkcs Check the code style against the defined phpcs rules.
  • make fixcs Fix the issues found by phpcs with phpcbf.
  • make compat Check if the code is compatible with the specified PHP version.

Credits

This package Started as a fork of Angry Creative’s Composer Auto Language Updates, but has since been rewritten. It is not compatible with the original package at all, but this package would probably not have existed with the first. There are probably some code in this package that the original author will still recognize.
