Usage
Post CRUD gives models that have create, read, update and delete methods. Main methods: set_field(), get_field(), save() and delete()
Creating new post
<?php
// Default post model.
use Silvanus\PostCrud\Models\Post as Model;
// Create new post instance.
$model = new Model();
// Set some values
$model->set_field('post_title', 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
$model->set_field('post_content', 'Dolor sit igitur.');
// Persist the data in database.
$model->save();All fields values should match WP Post table columns.
Edit existing post
Models will automatically load WP Post data if you instantiate them with ID.
<?php
// Default post model.
use Silvanus\PostCrud\Models\Post as Model;
// Pass ID of post to model.
$model = new Model(89);
// Use existing data.
echo $model->get_field('post_title');
echo $model->get_field('post_content');
echo $model->get_field('post_name');
// Not a fan of that slug, change it.
$model->set_field('post_name', 'sluggity_slug');
// Persist the changes.
$model->save();Delete post
<?php
// Default post model.
use Silvanus\PostCrud\Models\Post as Model;
// Post IDs to be deleted.
$post_ids = array(1995, 2011, 2019);
// These posts have been particularly silly.
foreach( $post_ids as $post_id ) {
$model = new Model($post_id);
$model->delete();
}Custom Post Types
You can create your own classes for your own Custom Post Types. You only need to extend AbstractCrud class and provide name of post type.
<?php
// AbstractCrud class for all the heavy lifting.
use Silvanus\PostCrud\AbstractCrud;
/**
* Minimal implementation for your post type.
*/
class Book extends AbstractCrud
{
/**
* Slug of post type you have already registered elsewhere.
*/
protected $post_type = 'book';
}Your class will have access to all the same methods.
<?php
// Your Book class
use YourName\YourNamespace\Book;
// Create new post book.
$book = new Book();
// Set up book data.
$book->set_field('post_title', 'Revelation Space');
$book->set_field('post_status', 'published');
// Persist.
$book->save();Meta fields
Models can also handle metadata. Use set_meta() and get_meta() methods.
<?php
// Our book could use some meta data.
$book->set_meta('author', 'Alastair Reynolds');
$book->set_meta('rating', 5);
// Persist.
$book->save();Shorthand methods
There are shorthand getters & setters for the most common use cases. Instead of using set_field($key, $value) or get_field($value), you can use the following:
<?php
// Set values using shorthands.
$model->set_title('Lorem ipsum');
$model->set_content('Dolor sit igitur, dolor sit amet.');
$model->set_excerpt('Dolor sit igitur');
// Access values through shorthands
echo $model->get_title();
echo $model->get_excerpt();
// Persist.
$book->save();Other shorthands are: set_status($status), get_status(), set_slug($slug) and get_slug().
Under the hood AbstractCrud class will call set_field() and get_field() methods.
