In WordPress development, plugins and themes are the cornerstones of a successful project. However, managing dependencies between these components can quickly become a daunting task. This is where Composer comes in.
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that allows developers to quickly declare and manage the libraries their projects depend on. Using Composer, WordPress developers can ensure that their plugins and themes always use the correct versions of their dependencies that do not conflict.
This talk will explore how Composer can help efficiently install and manage WordPress plugins and themes. We will cover topics such as:
Using Composer with WordPress plugins and themes
Declaring dependencies
Managing versions
Resolving conflicts
By the end of this talk, you will have a deep understanding of how Composer can be used to improve the efficiency and maintainability of your WordPress projects.
