WP-Charbon

Boilerplate to use Wordpress with the latest good practices

New tree to isolate dependencies, content and theme src/dist

- wp/ (core of WP = peer dependency)
- wp-content/
  - themes/  (theme destination)
  - plugins/ (dependencies)
  - uploads/ (content)
- src/ (theme source)

Now you can easily:

• Manage WP core and plugins with Composer
• Manage build dependencies with NPM
• Build ES6/Sass stack with Webpack

Install

You need to install composer, node and npm. After that, you can start a new project with:

composer install
npm install
npm run config
  prompt: Website URL:
  prompt: Theme Directory Name:
  prompt: DB Host:
  prompt: DB Name:
  prompt: DB User:
  prompt: DB Pass:
npm start

Note: after the WP install, don't forget to activate your theme and edit "Site Address (URL)" (remove "/wp") in the admin.
