WooP – OOP for wordpress theme development.

Hi,

This is a work in progress, but I believe it is good enough for a few tasks.

I’ve been working with wordpress for some time, and one thing it’s missing in wordpress is a good way to normalize the data we get from get_tags(), get_categories(), get_posts(), and also, a properly way to iterate with this data.

WooP is a small library (OOP code style, not too complicated to use), that normalizes the data and provide it as a basic iterator.

Ex.:

// getTagsUsingArgs uses the get_tags( $args ),
// but it will return an iterator.
$tags = $WooPTags->getTagsUsingArgs( $args );

if ( $tags->isEmpty() ) {
echo ‘<p>Iterator is empty</p>’;
} else {
while ( $tags->hasNext() ) {
$tag = $tags->get();
echo ‘<p>’.$tag->name().'</p>’;
}
}

The code is completely independent, so you don’t need to use all the classes, and also, it doesn’t change the behavior of the build-in wordpress methods.

Hope it make sense. Go to github and contribute.
