PostType

namespace: WPKit\PostType

Wrapper class for register_post_type.
Register and configure a post type.

Constructor

string $key - unique key;
string $singular_name - post type title (singular);
array $labels (optional) - array of post type labels;

Example:

$product_post_type = new PostType( 'product', __( 'Product' ) );

This example creates a post type named "Product". You do not need to describe all labels of post type, the WPKit will do it for you. But if, for any reason, you need to define certain labels, then you can easily do it:

$product_post_type = new PostType( 'product', __( 'Product' ), [
   'menu_name' => __( 'Shop' ), 
   'add_new'   => __( 'Add New Product' ),  
] );

Methods:

set_supports( array $supports )

Registers support of certain feature(s) for a post type. See add_post_type_support.
Default: ['title', 'editor', 'thumbnail']

set_menu_icon( $icon )
