Cassette CMF

A library, not a plugin.

We don't even support using it as a plugin because we want to focus 100% on the library experience.

Here's what it looks like:

use PedalCMS\Cassette\Core\Manager;

/* Set up on `init` or after, just like using `register_post_type`. */ 
add_action('init', function() {
    Manager::init()->register_from_array([
        'cpts' => [
            [
                'id' => 'book',
                'args' => ['label' => 'Books', 'public' => true],
                'taxonomies' => [
                    ['id' => 'genre', 'args' => ['label' => 'Genres']],
                ],
                'fields' => [
                    ['name' => 'isbn', 'type' => 'text', 'label' => 'ISBN'],
                    ['name' => 'author', 'type' => 'text', 'label' => 'Author'],
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ]);
});

One array. CPT registered. Taxonomy attached. Fields in the meta box. All version controlled.

😳 Why build yet another WordPress custom field solution?
