Dev Helpers WordPress Plugin

This repo is developed from the starter plugin for KnowTheCode.io. Check out the Let’s Build a WordPress Starter Plugin lab, where you will build this custom plugin with Tonya as she explains each step.

Features

This plugin includes the following features:

1. Composer - Dependency Manager for PHP
2. Kint - Awesome package that helps you to debug - forget var_dump and print_r. You are going to love Kint.
3. Whoops - Oh man, you will wonder why this isn't built into PHP. When an error occurs, this displayer replaces out the PHP orange table and gives you information you can actually use.

Installation

1. Download it.
2. Put into your wp-content/plugins/ folder
3. Extract it
4. Go into the new folder
5. Run composer install in terminal to bring in the dependencies and install Composer locally.
