Background

This plugin essentially functions as a HTML generator with two key steps:

1. Given a minimal configuration, the Flynt Core plugin creates a hierarchical plan for how the site will be constructed (the Construction Plan).
2. The Construction Plan is parsed and rendered into HTML.

Each configuration passed to the plugin represents a single component. This configuration can also contain additional, nested component configurations, which are contained within "areas".

Install

To install via composer, run:

composer require flyntwp/flynt-core

Activate the plugin in the WordPress back-end and you're good to go.

Usage

Hello World

To see the simplest way of using Flynt Core, add the following code to your theme's functions.php:

$componentManager = Flynt\ComponentManager::getInstance();
$componentManager->registerComponent('HelloWorld');

add_filter('Flynt/renderComponent?name=HelloWorld', function () {
  return 'Hello, world!';
});

This defines a new component ('HelloWorld'), which when rendered, will output the text 'Hello, world!'.

To render the component, add the following code to your theme's index.php:

Flynt\echoHtmlFromConfig([
  'name' => 'HelloWorld'
]);

Initialize Default Settings

We recommend initializing the plugin's default settings. Do this by adding the following line of code to your theme's functions.php:

Flynt\initDefaults();

This will:

• Implement the component structure.
• Load component scripts.
• Enable PHP file rendering.

This also adds the following hooks:

// Set the config path to './config'.
add_filter('Flynt/configPath', ['Flynt\Defaults', 'setConfigPath'], 999, 2);

// Parse `.json` config files.
add_filter('Flynt/configFileLoader', ['Flynt\Defaults', 'loadConfigFile'], 999, 3);

// Set the component path to `./Components`.
add_filter('Flynt/componentPath', ['Flynt\Defaults', 'setComponentPath'], 999, 2);

// Load ./Components/{$componentName}/functions.php from every registered component.
add_action('Flynt/registerComponent', ['Flynt\Defaults', 'loadFunctionsFile']);

// Render `./Components/{$componentName}/index.php` and make view helper functions `$data` and `$area` available (see explanation below).
add_filter('Flynt/renderComponent', ['Flynt\Defaults', 'renderComponent'], 999, 4);

With the 'Flynt/renderComponent' filter added above you can now use the following helper functions in your template files:

• $data is used to access the component's data in the view template.
• $area is used to include the HTML of an area's components into the components template itself.
