Usage
Metabox Configuration
Hook into the filter mbgaddmetaboxconfigurationfiles and include file(s) that have an array returned like the sample below. Make sure the filter is configured in your plugin during its initialization, so that it can be properly registered.
For your returned array, use the sample below. Replace the metabox.sample key in the array to the name of the meta box you are configuring (e.g. metabox.article). Update the addmetabox configuration to be specific for your meta box. See https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/addmetabox/. Update the view key to a directory path of your view
