Elementav0.8.1

This is a minimalistic skeleton theme for developers who build and maintain custom websites. It introduces a component-based architecture, grouping all related PHP templates, SCSS stylesheets, and JavaScript files into dedicated folders for each UI element. This approach is designed for developers seeking a more modular and maintainable codebase compared to traditional theme structures.

• Component-Based Organization: The core structure places each building block, like a navigation menu or header, in its own folder under a central ui directory. This keeps all related logic, styles, and scripts for that component in one place.
• Custom Template Loader: A dedicated get_component() function simplifies including these components in your theme template files. It automatically locates and renders the correct PHP partial, streamlining template development.
• Integrated Build Process: The theme includes a Gulp setup for processing SCSS into CSS, supporting a modern front-end workflow. Running the default Gulp task compiles styles from individual component files into a main stylesheet.
• Automatic Script Handling: When you use the get_component() function, it will also automatically locate and enqueue a corresponding JavaScript file if one exists with the same name as the component, reducing manual script management.
• Development Tooling: It comes pre-configured with support for WordPress coding standards via PHP_CodeSniffer, aiding in maintaining code quality and consistency across projects.
