A New Plugin Boilerplate for a New Era

WordPress is planning to raise its minimum PHP version requirement and if all goes according to plan, we will have a required minimum of PHP 7+ for December 2019.

Few plugin developers currently know how to make the best use of the language features that PHP 7.2+ provides. That’s why I worked on a new plugin boilerplate that provides you with a robust, strictly typed OOP framework and incorporates a lot of applied best practices.

In this session I will introduce this new boilerplate and go into the details of how this will improve your plugin code and reduce its maintenance cost in the long run.
