Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/knowthecode/lab-data-store/archive/refs/heads/master.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Data Store Lab
The starter kit for the Data Store hands-on coding lab series on Know the Code.
What is a data store?
A data store provides you with a centralized, globally available, and persistent way to store values (data and state) and configuration parameters.
3 Different Architectures
In this lab series and plugin, you'll build the data store in 3 different ways:
- Procedural - all function based
- Static Class - procedural wrapped inside of a class and using static methods and properties
- OOP - as an object
