Models

For developers managing WordPress sites, Models is a plugin that allows you to register custom post types and taxonomies by placing simple configuration files in your theme. It supports JSON, YAML, and PHP formats, making it flexible for various workflows.

• File-based configuration: Define post types and taxonomies in JSON, YAML, or PHP files without using the admin interface. Drop model files into a folder and they register automatically.
• Supports both post types and taxonomies: Create custom content structures like books, genres, and tags with full control over labels, supports, and linked post types. Shorthands like "cpt" and "tax" simplify setup.
• Uses WordPress defaults: Only specify the fields you need; missing values fall back to WordPress defaults, reducing boilerplate.
• Works with Composer and Sage: Designed for modern WordPress development. Install via Composer as a must-use plugin (mu-plugin) for automatic activation.
• Custom path filter: Override the default models folder location using a filter, allowing you to keep config files outside your theme for better separation of concerns.

Note: The repository was archived in 2023, but the plugin remains functional for existing projects. It requires PHP 5.6+.
