README

A robust, flexible, and easy-to-use PHP library to quickly create, register, and reuse meta fields and meta boxes configurations, and keep them in your source code repository.

Install

Use composer to install:

composer require ivanyankov/meta-fields-builder

If your project isn't using composer, you can require the autoload.php file.

Usage

This should give you a comprehensive view of how to create meta boxes with fields, where you can specify not only the fields themselves but also where these meta boxes should appear.

Simple Example

use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\MetaBox\MetaBoxBuilder;
use Yankov\MetaFieldsBuilder\Fields\TextField;

$fields = [
    new TextField('text_field_name', 'Text Field')
];

$metaBox = MetaBoxBuilder::make('custom_meta_box_id', 'Advanced Custom Meta Box', $fields, 'post');

Get the saved data by calling the below WordPress function.

$field_value = get_post_meta($post_id, "text_field_name", true);
