Setting up a WordPress plugin with React and TypeScript

Link to the article "Setting up a WordPress plugin with React and TypeScript "

How to start

If you use the Nix package manager, just type in nix-shell. Otherwise make sure that you have the following dependencies installed:

  • Docker
  • NodeJS >=18
  • NPM (if you don't want to use the included YARN 4.0.2)
  • PHP >=8.2 with composer

After that you can initialize the project:

cd wp/src/wp-content/plugins/wp-dynamic-form
yarn install
yarn compose
yarn build

Now you need to fire up the docker containers in the project root:

docker compose build
docker compose up -d --force-recreate

To clean up everything what was created by Wordpress, stop the docker containers and run the cleanup script:

docker compose down
./clean.sh

Logging for WordPress server side

Add the following lines to the file wp/src/wp-config.php:

...
define( 'WP_DEBUG', !!getenv_docker('WORDPRESS_DEBUG', '') );

// these two lines are necessary
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
...
