Getting Started

WordPress Proper can be installed via composer:

composer require andrewmead/wordpress-proper

From there, you can pull in whatever module you happen to need:

use Proper\Number;

Number::abbreviate(654201); // 654.2K

Periodic

Periodic::check(string $option_name, string|DateInterval $interval): bool

Periodic gives you a way to periodically do something. It's powered by WordPress options and PHP's DateInterval class.

It's perfect when you need to do something, but only every once in a while. In the example below, Periodic is used to run some code once every 30 minutes.

<?php

use Proper\Periodic;

if (Periodic::check('verify_geo_database_file', 'PT30M')) {
    // Run some code every 30 minutes
}

The first argument is name of the option you want to use to back a periodic task. This option will store the last time the periodic task was run.

The second argument is where you define the period you want to wait. This can be represented as a DateInterval or a valid string duration that the DateInterval constructor would accept.

// Define the period using a string
$should_verify = Periodic::check('verify_geo_database_file', 'PT3S');

// Define the period using a DateInterval
$interval = new DateInterval('PT3S');
$should_verify = Periodic::check('verify_geo_database_file', $interval);

Calls to check will always return a boolean value. The value will be true if it's time to run the task. The value will be false if the period of time hasn't passed since the task was last completed.

Number

Abbreviate

Number::abbreviate(int|float $number, bool $round = false): string

The abbreviate methods abbreviates large numbers such as 742898 into shorter strings such as 743K.

<?php

use Proper\Number;

Number::abbreviate(1260000); // 1.3M

Number::abbreviate(133800); // 133.8K

// Round off decimals 
Number::abbreviate(133800, true); // 134K

It provides abbreviations for:

1. Thousands - Number::abbreviate(133300) returns the string 133.3K
2. Millions - Number::abbreviate( 1300000 ) returns the string 1.3M
3. Billions - Number::abbreviate( 999000000000 ) returns the string 999B
4. Trillions - Number::abbreviate( 1000000000000 ) returns the string 1T

Numbers below one thousand are not abbreviated. That means Number::abbreviate(978) would return the string 978.

Numbers at or above one quadrillion are not abbreviated. That means Number::abbreviate(1000000000000000) would return the string 1,000,000,000,000,000.

Behind the scenes, abbreviate uses number_format_i18n from WordPress to internationalize abbreviations. This ensures that Number::abbreviate(1500) returns the string 1.5K for en_US and 1,5K for de_DE.

Timezone

A small set of functions that make it a bit easier to work with a WordPress site's timezone.

• ::site_timezone(): DateTimeZone
• ::site_offset(): string
• ::site_decimal_offset(): float
• ::utc_timezone(): DateTimeZone
• ::utc_offset(): string
• ::utc_decimal_offset(): float

site_timezone

::site_timezone(): DateTimeZone

Get the WordPress site's timezone represent as a PHP DateTimeZone.

<?php

use Proper\Timezone;

Timezone::site_timezone(); // new DateTimeZone('America/New_York')

site_offset

::site_offset(): string

Get the offset for the WordPress site's timezone. This is represented as a string. Examples include "-04:00", "+08:45", and "-11:30".

<?php

use Proper\Timezone;

Timezone::site_offset(); // "-04:00"

site_decimal_offset

::site_decimal_offset(): float

Get the decimal offset for the WordPress site's timezone. This is represented as a float. Examples include -4, 8.75, and -11.5.

<?php

use Proper\Timezone;

Timezone::site_decimal_offset(); // -4

utc_timezone

::utc_timezone(): DateTimeZone

Get a DateTimeZone instance that represents UTC. This will always return the same value, but serves as a handy counterpart to site_timezone

<?php

use Proper\Timezone;

Timezone::utc_timezone(); // Will always return new DateTimeZone('UTC');

utc_offset

::utc_offset(): string

Get the offset for UTC. This will always return "+00:00". This will always return the same value, but serves as a handy counterpart to site_offset.

<?php

use Proper\Timezone;

Timezone::utc_offset(); // Will always return "+00:00"

utc_decimal_offset

::utc_decimal_offset(): float

Get the decimal offset for UTC. This will always return 0. This will always return the same value, but serves as a handy counterpart to site_decimal_offset.

<?php

use Proper\Timezone;

Timezone::utc_decimal_offset(); // Will always return 0
