In terms of updating the WordPress Widget Boilerplate (all of which is tracked in the develop branch), we’ve come a long way in terms of refactoring how it’s organized.
Thus far, we’ve:
- looked at how the WordPress Widget API provides an example of object-oriented programming,
- how we can use this API to determine object-oriented programming in other areas of WordPress,
- installed tools to help us evaluate the quality of the code,
- found errors that currently exist in the code in terms of modern programming standards,
- and began re-organizing the code base so that it fits with more modern practices.
Now we’re ready to start refactoring this code in a much more object-oriented manner.
So if you’ve yet to catch up with the previous posts (any of them, really), I recommend doing so because it’s going to take a little while to bring this up to date. There’s a lot of code to write an explain.
Let’s get started.
