fuxt-backend

A low-code/no-code theme that turns WordPress into a true GraphQL powered Headless CMS. Optimized for the fuxt frontend boilerplate.

Built by Funkhaus.

Install

Where are you hosting WordPress? We recommend Flywheel.
Install theme
Install required plugins (as prompted)
1. If you want to use ACF, there are some default fields we recommend, you can find the file to import from the theme directory /acf/ or here.
Re-save Permalinks
If using ACF, it is strongly recommended to import the ACF fields in the .json file from /acf/ directory.

Install PHP CodeSniffer (PHPCS)
```
composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*"
```
PHPCS is a development tool that detects violations of coding standard and automatically corrects them. Do note that PHP 5.4 or greater is required.
Download WPCS
```
git clone -b master https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards.git wpcs
```
cd to your desired directory and run the above command in your terminal. This will download WPCS into a folder called wpcs.
Add WPCS to PHPCS
```
/path/to/composer/vendor/bin/phpcs --config-set installed_paths /path/to/WPCS, /path/to/another-standards
```
Now that we have WPCS and PHPCS in our system, we can run the above command and the latter know where our coding standard is located.

If you are getting the command not found: phpcs message, ensure that your path to PHPCS is correct. Since we installed it globally, the path should be something like /users/your_user_name/.composer/vendor/bin/phpcs

Also, do note that the installed_paths command overwrites any previously set installed_paths. If you have existing coding standards, please remember to include their paths together with whatever coding standards you are adding separated by a comma.

Check to ensure WPCS is added.

/path/to/composer/vendor/bin/phpcs -i

If WPCS is added correctly, we should see the following output:

The installed coding standards are PEAR, Zend, PSR2, MySource, Squiz, PSR1, PSR12, WordPress, WordPress-Extra, WordPress-Docs and WordPress-Core

Configureing VSCode
1. Install phpcs and phpcbf extensions in VSCode. The phpcs extension enables linting for all PHP files in our editor while phpcbf will try to beautify and fix our code according to the chosen coding standard.
2. Configure settings.json Once those two are installed, open up the editor settings under Code > Preferences > Settings. Toggle to the JSON view and add the following values: Save the settings.json and restart VSCode.
```
"phpcs.enable": true,
"phpcs.executablePath": "/path/to/composer/vendor/bin/phpcs",
"phpcs.standard": "WordPress"
"phpcbf.enable": true,
"phpcbf.documentFormattingProvider": true,
"phpcbf.onsave": true,
"phpcbf.executablePath": "/path/to/composer/vendor/bin/phpcbf",
"phpcbf.standard": "WordPress",
```
Test! If everything is configured correctly, VSCode should start linting your PHP. Since we configured phpcbf.onsave: true, VSCode should auto fix some issues when we save the file. Or we can format the file manually by right click > Format Document.
