Getting Started

If you're looking to contribute to imageSEO, welcome! We're glad you're here. Please ⭐️ this repository and fork it to begin local development.

Most of us are using Local by Flywheel to develop on WordPress, which makes set up quick and easy. If you prefer Docker, VVV, or another flavor of local development that's cool too!

Prerequisites

• Node.js as JavaScript engine.
• NPM npm command globally available in CLI.
• WP CLI wp-cli command globally available (Local by Flywheel has this built-in).

Local Development

To get started developing you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Create a new WordPress site using your favorite local development software.
2. cd into your local plugins directory: /wp-content/plugins/
3. Fork this repository from GitHub and then clone that into your plugins directory in a new imageseo directory
4. Run npm install to get the necessary npm packages
5. Run composer install to get the necessary composer packages
6. Activate the plugin in WordPress
7. Run npm run build to build the files required for the plugin. Development files are located in the app folder.

That's it. You're now ready to start development.

Development Notes

• Ensure that you have SCRIPT_DEBUG enabled within your wp-config.php file. Here's a good example of wp-config.php for debugging:

   // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
  define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
  
  // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
  define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
  
  // Loads unminified core files
  define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
  

• Commit the package.lock file. Read more about why here.
