Technical Notes

• Requires PHP 5.6+.
• Requires WordPress 5.5+.
• Issues and Pull requests welcome on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/spacedmonkey/wp-rest-blocks

Development

This plugin uses @wordpress/env for local development and testing.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+ and npm
• Docker Desktop (must be installed and running)

Setup

1. Clone the repository

2. Install dependencies:
   bash
npm install
composer install

3. Start the WordPress environment:
   bash
npm run env:start

   This will start a local WordPress instance at http://localhost:8888 (admin: http://localhost:8888/wp-admin with username admin and password password)

   Note: Docker must be running for this to work. The first time you run this, it will download WordPress and set up the database, which may take a few minutes.

Available Commands

• npm run env:start – Start the WordPress environment
• npm run env:stop – Stop the WordPress environment
• npm run env:reset – Reset the environment (clean database)
• npm run env:destroy – Destroy the environment completely
• npm run test:php – Run PHPUnit tests
• npm run test:php:multisite – Run PHPUnit tests in multisite mode
• npm run lint:php – Run PHP CodeSniffer
• npm run lint:php:fix – Fix PHP coding standards issues automatically

Running Tests

After starting the environment with npm run env:start, you can run the tests:

`bash

npm run test:php
`

For multisite tests:

`bash

npm run test:php:multisite
`

Accessing the Site

• Development site: http://localhost:8888
• Admin dashboard: http://localhost:8888/wp-admin (admin/password)
• Test site: http://localhost:8889
• Test admin: http://localhost:8889/wp-admin (admin/password)
