, _(*1)

Installation

$ composer require geistpress/wp-helpers

// Init WP-Helpers
add_action('init', function () {
    // Init Loader
    $loader = new \GeistPress\Helpers\Foundation\Loader();

    $loader->register(__DIR__ . '/resources/sidebars', 'App\Sidebars');

Registerable

To register a class with the loader the class needs to implement the Registerable interface and contain a register method, _(*3)

namespace App\Sidebars;

use GeistPress\Helpers\Foundation\Registerable;

class HeaderBar implements Registerable
{
    /**
     * Register sidebar
     */
    public function register()
    {
        register_sidebar([
            'name'          => __('Header Bar', 'app'),
            'id'            => 'header-bar',
            'description'   => __('Top Bar above the navbar', 'app'),
            'before_widget' => '

',
            'after_widget'  => '

',
        ]);
    }
}

Views

// Render /resources/views/breadcrumbs.phtml and pass the variable $current='home' to it
\GeistPress\Helpers\Facades\View::render('breadcrumbs', ['current' => 'home']);
