First tests on the template to meta field conversion road.
Starting from the end
I’ve outlined in the earlier post what the code flow should be to go from a template to Custom Meta Boxes 2 managed meta fields being shown to the user in the page administration screen.
This process is a dynamic one to be carried out on each load of the page edit screen and as such the usual way to add meta boxes outlined in the wiki cannot be used as it is for the simple reason that meta boxes will not be hardcoded in a file but parsed from the template.
With this in mind I will start creating the class responsible for the meta boxes creation (MetaBoxes\Page).
In the plugin init.php file I’m registering the class in the dependency injection container and kickstarting it after plugins have loaded:
<?php
use tad\FrontToBack\Credentials\NonStoringCredentials;
use tad\FrontToBack\Fields\FieldsUpdater;
use tad\FrontToBack\MetaBoxes\Page;
use tad\FrontToBack\OptionsPage;
use tad\FrontToBack\Templates\Creator;
use tad\FrontToBack\Templates\Filesystem;
use tad\FrontToBack\Templates\MasterChecker;
use tad\FrontToBack\Templates\TemplateScanner;
require_once __DIR__ . '/src/functions/commons.php';
$plugin = ftb();
/**
* Variables
*/
$plugin->set( 'path', __DIR__ );
$plugin->set( 'url', plugins_url( '', __FILE__ ) );
$templates_extension = 'php';
$plugin->set( 'templates/extension', $templates_extension );
$plugin->set( 'templates/master-template-name', "master.{$templates_extension}" );
/**
* Initializers
*/
$plugin->set( 'templates/default-folder', function () {
return WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/ftb-templates';
} );
$plugin->set( 'options-page', function () {
return new OptionsPage();
} );
$plugin->set( 'credentials-store', function () {
return new NonStoringCredentials();
} );
$plugin->set( 'templates-filesystem', function () {
$templates_folder = ftb_get_option( 'templates_folder' );
$templates_folder = $templates_folder ?: ftb()->get( 'templates/default-folder' );
return new Filesystem( $templates_folder, null, ftb()->get( 'credentials-store' ) );
} );
$plugin->set( 'master-template-checker', function () {
return new MasterChecker( ftb()->get( 'templates-filesystem' ) );
} );
$plugin->set( 'templates-creator', function () {
return new Creator( ftb()->get( 'templates-filesystem' ) );
} );
$plugin->set( 'page-meta-boxes', function () {
return new Page();
} );
/**
* Kickstart
*/
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', function () use ( $plugin ) {
/** @var OptionsPage $optionsPage */
$optionsPage = $plugin->get( 'options-page' );
$optionsPage->hooks();
/** @var MasterChecker $masterTemplateChecker */
$masterTemplateChecker = $plugin->get( 'master-template-checker' );
$masterTemplateChecker->hooks();
/** @var Creator $templatesCreator */
$templatesCreator = $plugin->get( 'templates-creator' );
$templatesCreator->hooks();
/** @var Page $metaBoxes */
$pageMetaBoxes = $plugin->get( 'page-meta-boxes' );
$pageMetaBoxes->hooks();
} );
And the class hooks method will take care of adding meta boxes for the page on the CMB2 hook
<?php
namespace tad\FrontToBack\MetaBoxes;
class Page {
/**
* Page constructor.
*/
public function __construct() {
}
public function hooks() {
add_action( 'cmb2_admin_init', array( $this, 'add_page_meta_boxes' ) );
}
public function add_page_meta_boxes() {
}
}
Meta fields information
To create the page meta boxes and be able to store the page meta fields I will have to read which ones the page is supposed to show the user: this information is in the template. Copying last post example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Page template</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Here is an editable string</h3>
<p>
<ftb-text id='user_string' title="User string" />
</p>
</body>
</html>
The meta fields information the template specifies is that the user should be presented with a text type meta field titled User string; in CMB2 terms this is the code that will do the job
$cmb = new_cmb2_box( array(
'id' => 'ftb_sample-page_fields_metabox',
'title' => __( 'Fields', 'ftb' ),
'object_types' => array( 'page', ),
'show_on' => array( 'key' => 'id', 'value' => 9 ),
'context' => 'normal',
'priority' => 'high',
'show_names' => true, // Show field names on the left
) );
$cmb->add_field( array(
'name' => 'User string',
'desc' => '',
'id' => 'user_string',
'type' => 'text',
) );
This code needs to be dynamically created in the Page::add_page_meta_boxes method though so down to some TDD flow.
Page template
To cover this first use case I came up with the following test case (again using function-mocker to mock and assert)
<?php
namespace tad\FrontToBack\MetaBoxes;
use tad\FunctionMocker\FunctionMocker as Test;
class PageTest extends \WP_UnitTestCase {
protected $backupGlobals = false;
public function setUp() {
// before
parent::setUp();
// your set up methods here
}
public function tearDown() {
// your tear down methods here
// then
parent::tearDown();
}

The need to inject and control the inputs of the class exposed missing accessory classes that I’ve stubbed out to the point of bare functions.
This is typical of the TDD flow and it’s the process outlined in the book “Growing object-oriented software guided by tests” and a flow I’ve getting into more and more.
The current class version ends up being, at this point of the development, the one below:
<?php
namespace tad\FrontToBack\MetaBoxes;
use tad\FrontToBack\Templates\TemplateFactory;
use tad\FrontToBack\Templates\TemplateInterface;
class Page {
/**
* @var TemplateInterface|void
*/
protected $template;
/**
* Page constructor.
*
* @param TemplateInterface $template
*/
public function __construct( TemplateInterface $template = null ) {
$this->template = empty( $template ) ? TemplateFactory::make() : $template;
}
public function hooks() {
add_action( 'cmb2_admin_init', array( $this, 'add_page_meta_boxes' ) );
}
public function add_page_meta_boxes() {
if ( ! ( $this->template->exists() && $this->template->has_fields() ) || empty( $_GET['id'] ) ) {
return;
}
$id = "ftb_{$this->template->get_name()}_fields_metabox";
$cmb = new_cmb2_box( array(
'id' => $id, 'title' => __( 'Fields', 'ftb' ), 'object_types' => array( 'page', ),
'show_on' => array( 'key' => 'id', 'value' => $_GET['id'] ), 'context' => 'normal', 'priority' => 'high',
'show_names' => true, // Show field names on the left
) );
{
/** @var FieldInterface $field */
foreach ( $this->template->get_fields() as $field ) {
$args = array(
'name' => $field->get_name(), 'desc' => $field->get_description(), 'id' => $field->get_id(),
'type' => $field->get_type(),
);
$cmb->add_field( $args );
}
}
}
}
See full code on GitHub.
Next
I will delve in the development of the accessory classes and get to a point where I will be able to properly process the first functional template.
