The PinkCrab Enqueue class allows for a clean and fluent alternative for enqueuing scripts and styles in WordPress.

To install

composer require pinkcrab/enqueue

Version

Release 1.3.0

<?php 
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function(){
    
    // Enqueue a script
    Enqueue::script('My_Script')
        ->src('https://url.tld/wp-content/plugins/my_plugn/assets/js/my-script.js')
        ->deps('jquery')
        ->latest_version()
        ->register();
    
    // Enqueue a stylesheet
    Enqueue::style('My_Stylesheet')
        ->src('https://url.tld/wp-content/plugins/my_plugn/assets/css/my-stylesheet.css')
        ->media('all and (min-width: 1200px)')
        ->latest_version()
        ->register();
});

The above examples would enqueue the script and stylesheet using wp_enqueue_script() and wp_enqueue_style()

Features

Instantiation of \PinkCrab\Enqueue::class

You have 2 options when creating an instance of the Enqueue object.

<?php

$enqueue_script = new Enqueue( 'my_script', 'script');
$enqueue_style = new Enqueue( 'my_style', 'style');

// OR 

$enqueue_script = Enqueue::script('my_script');
$enqueue_style = Enqueue::style('my_style');

When you call using the static methods script() or style(), the current instance is returned, allowing for chaining into a single call. Rather than doing it in the more verbose methods.

<?php

$enqueue_script = new Enqueue( 'my_script', 'script');
$enqueue_script->src('.....');
$enqueue_script->register();

// OR 

Enqueue::script('my_script')
    ->src('.....')
    ->register();

File Location

The URI to the defined js or css file can be defined here. This must be passed as a url and not the file path.

This is the same for both styles and scripts

<?php
Enqueue::script('my_script')
    ->src(PLUGIN_BASE_URL . 'assets/js/my-script.js')
    ->register();

Version

Like the underlying wp_enqueue_script() and wp_enqueue_style() function, we can define a verison number to our scripts. This can be done using the ver('1.2.2') method.

This is the same for both styles and scripts

<?php
Enqueue::script('my_script')
    ->src(PLUGIN_BASE_URL . 'assets/js/my-script.js')
    ->ver('1.2.2') // Set to your current version number.
    ->register();

However this can be frustrating while developing, so rather than using the current timestamp as a temp version. You can use the latest_version(), this grabs the last modified date from the defined script or style sheet, allowing reducing the frustrations of caching during development. While this is really handy during development, it should be changed to ->ver('1.2.2') when used in production.

This is the same for both styles and scripts

<?php
Enqueue::script('my_script')
    ->src(PLUGIN_BASE_URL . 'assets/js/my-script.js')
    ->latest_version() 

Dependencies

As with all wp_enqueue_script() and wp_enqueue_style() function, required dependencies can be called. This allows for your scripts and styles to be called in order.

This is the same for both styles and scripts

<?php
Enqueue::script('my_script')
    ->src(PLUGIN_BASE_URL . 'assets/js/my-script.js')
    ->deps('jquery') // Only enqueued after jQuery.

Localized Values

One of the most useful parts of of enqueuing scripts in WordPress is passing values form the server to your javascript files. Where as using the regular functions, this requires registering the style, localizing your data and then registering the script. While it works perfectly fine, it can be a bit on the verbose side.

The localize() method allows this all to be done within the single call.

This can only be called for scripts

<?php
Enqueue::script('MyScriptHandle')
    ->src(PLUGIN_BASE_URL . 'assets/js/my-script.js')
    ->localize([ 
        'key1' => 'value1', 
        'key2' => 'value2', 
    ])
    ->register();

Usage within js file (my-script.js)

console.log(MyScriptHandle.key1) // value1
console.log(MyScriptHandle.key2) // value2

Footer

By default all scripts are enqueued in the footer, but this can be changed if it needs to be called in the head. By calling either footer(false) or header()

This can only be called for scripts

<?php
Enqueue::script('my_script')
    ->src(PLUGIN_BASE_URL . 'assets/js/my-script.js')
    ->footer(false)
    ->register();
// OR 
Enqueue::script('my_script')
    ->src(PLUGIN_BASE_URL . 'assets/js/my-script.js')
    ->header()
    ->register();

Media

As with wp_enqueue_style() you can specify the media for which the sheet is defined for. Accepts all the same values as wp_enqueue_style()

This can only be called for styles

<?php
Enqueue::style('my_style')
    ->src(PLUGIN_BASE_URL . 'assets/js/my-style.css')
    ->media('(orientation: portrait)')
    ->register();

Attributes

It is possible (since v1.2.0) to add attributes and flags (value free attributes) to either script or style tags.

<?php
Enqueue::style('my_style')
    ->src('http://www.site.com/my-style.css')
    ->attribute('key', 'value')
    ->register();

// Rendered as
// <link href="[.css/bootstrap.min.css](http://www.site.com/my-style.css)" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" key="value">

or

<?php
Enqueue::script('my_style')
    ->src('http://www.site.com/my-scripts.js')
    ->flag('key')
    ->register();

// Rendered as
// <script src="http://www.site.com/my-scripts.js" key type="text/javascript"></script>

Async & Defer

There is also some shortcuts for making any script or style be deferred or async tagged.

<?php
Enqueue::style('my_style')
    ->src('http://www.site.com/my-style.css')
    ->async()
    ->register();

// Rendered as
// <link href="http://www.site.com/my-style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" async="">

or

<?php
Enqueue::script('my_style')
    ->src('http://www.site.com/my-scripts.js')
    ->defer()
    ->register();

// Rendered as
// <script src="http://www.site.com/my-scripts.js" defer="" type="text/javascript"></script>

Registration

Once your Enqueue object has been populated all you need to call register() for wp_enqueue_script() or wp_enqueue_style() to be called. You can either do all this inline (like the first example) or the Enqueue object can be populated and only called when required.

This is the same for both styles and scripts

<?php
class My_Thingy{
    /**
     * Returns a partly finalised Enqueue scripts, with defined url.
     * 
     * @param string $script The file location.
     * @return Enqueue The populated enqueue object.
     */ 
    protected function enqueue($script): Enqueue {
        return Enqueue::script('My_Script')
            ->src($script)
            ->deps('jquery')
            ->latest_version();
    } 

    /**
     * Called to initialize the class.
     * Registers our JS based on a conditional.
     * 
     * @return void
     */
    public function init(): void {
        if(some_conditional()){
            add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function(){
                $this->enqueue(SOME_FILE_LOCATION_CONSTANT)->register()
            });
        } else {
            add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function(){
                $this->enqueue(SOMEOTHER_FILE_LOCATION_CONSTANT)->register()
            });
        }
    }
}

add_action('wp_loaded', [new My_Thingy, 'init']);

Gutenberg

When registering scripts and styles for use with Gutenberg blocks, it is necessary to only register the assets before wp_enqueue_scripts hook is called. To do this, all you need to is set for_block().

add_action('init', function(){
    Enqueue::script('my_style')
        ->src('http://www.site.com/my-scripts.js')
        ->defer()
        ->for_block()
        ->register();

    // Register block as normal
});
