| 23 | +## Overview |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +This repository brings together everything needed to extend a WordPress site into a full-featured data visualization platform: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +| Layer | What lives here | |
| 28 | +|---|---| |
| 29 | +| **React / Gutenberg blocks** | Custom blocks that embed charts, maps, and filters directly in the WordPress editor | |
| 30 | +| **REST API extensions** | Custom endpoints that feed data to those blocks | |
| 31 | +| **Multilingual support** | Full i18n layer via a bundled WP Multilang plugin | |
| 32 | +| **Shared npm packages** | Reusable React components and utility types published to npm under `@devgateway/` | |
| 33 | +| **Scaffolding CLIs** | `create-wp-customizer` and `upgrade-wp-customizer` for bootstrapping new customizer projects | |
| 34 | +| **Custom WordPress theme** | `dg-semantic` — a block-compatible theme pre-wired for data viz pages | |
| 35 | +| **Docker image** | A ready-to-run `wordpress:fpm-alpine`-based image with all plugins and the theme pre-installed | |
| 36 | + |

| 63 | +## Packages |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +All packages are versioned and released with [Changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) and published to npm under the `@devgateway` scope. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +### `@devgateway/dvz-wp-commons` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +> `packages/commons` |
| 70 | +
|
| 71 | +Shared React components and utilities used across the Gutenberg blocks. Includes: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +- **API & data configuration** — `APIConfig`, `CSVSourceConfig`, `DataFilters` |
| 74 | +- **Chart primitives** — `ChartColors`, `ChartLegends`, `ChartMeasures`, `Tooltip`, `Format` |
| 75 | +- **Block editor helpers** — `BlockEditWithAPIMetadata`, `BlockEditWithFilters`, `ComponentWithSettings` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +Built with TypeScript; exports both JS and `.d.ts` type definitions. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +### `@devgateway/create-wp-customizer` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +> `packages/create-wp-customizer` |
| 82 | +
|
| 83 | +CLI (`create-wp-customizer`) that scaffolds a new WordPress customizer project from an interactive prompt. Uses `@clack/prompts` for the UX and `cross-spawn` to bootstrap the project. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +### `@devgateway/upgrade-wp-customizer` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +> `packages/upgrade-wp-customizer` |
| 88 | +
|
| 89 | +CLI that upgrades an existing customizer project to the latest conventions. Parses and transforms existing source files using `@babel/parser`. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +--- |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +## Plugins |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### `wp-react-blocks-plugin` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +The core plugin. Contains all custom [Gutenberg blocks](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/) built with React and [`@wordpress/scripts`](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-scripts/). Each block is a self-contained React component that fetches data from the REST API and renders charts, maps, or filter controls. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +**Environment variables consumed at build time:** |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +| Variable | Default | Description | |
| 102 | +|---|---|---| |
| 103 | +| `BLOCKS_CATEGORY` | `wp-react-lib-blocks` | Block category slug in the editor | |
| 104 | +| `BLOCKS_NS` | `viz` | Namespace prefix for block names | |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +### `wp-react-custom-api` |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +Extends the WordPress REST API with custom endpoints required by the data viz blocks. Register your data sources here. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### `wp-react-custom-multilang` |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +A bundled fork of [WP Multilang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-multilang/) with configuration for the data viz content types. Provides per-language versions of posts, terms, meta, menus, and widgets — without creating duplicate database rows. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +> **Note:** This plugin is excluded from the pnpm workspace because it has no npm build step. |
| 115 | +
|
| 116 | +### `wp-react-custom-rest-menu` |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +Adds REST endpoints for WordPress nav menus: |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +| Endpoint | Description | |
| 121 | +|---|---| |
| 122 | +| `GET /menus/v1/menus` | List all registered menus | |
| 123 | +| `GET /menus/v1/menus/{slug}` | Get a single menu by slug or ID | |
| 124 | +| `GET /menus/v1/locations` | List all menu locations | |
| 125 | +| `GET /menus/v1/locations/{slug}` | Get the menu assigned to a location | |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +Compatible with ACF menu attributes and the Menu Image plugin. |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +--- |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +## Theme |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +### `dg-semantic` |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +> `wp-theme/` → deployed to `wp-content/themes/dg-semantic/` |
| 136 | +
|
| 137 | +A custom block-compatible WordPress theme built for data visualization pages. Key features: |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +- `theme.json` v2 — spacing, font sizes, and layout tokens |
| 140 | +- WP Multilang integration (`wpm-config.json`) |
| 141 | +- Custom post type and taxonomy registration |
| 142 | +- ACF field registration (`_custom_fields.php`) |
| 143 | +- Custom admin styles and MIME type support (SVG, etc.) |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +--- |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +## Docker Image |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +The repository ships a multi-stage `Dockerfile` that produces a minimal, production-ready image. |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +| Stage | Base image | What it does | |
| 152 | +|---|---|---| |
| 153 | +| `base` | `node:22-slim` | Sets up pnpm / corepack | |
| 154 | +| `installer` | — | `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` | |
| 155 | +| `builder` | — | Builds all npm packages and plugins; assembles `wp-content/` | |
| 156 | +| `runtime` | `wordpress:6.8.2-fpm-alpine` | Copies PHP config, `wp-content.tgz`, and entrypoint | |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +The final image exposes ports **80** and **443** and runs via `php-fpm`. |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +### Entrypoint: `wordpress.sh` |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +On startup the script: |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +1. Extracts `/tmp/wp-content.tgz` into the WordPress root (skipped when `SKIP_WP_UPDATE=1`). |
| 165 | +2. Delegates to the official WordPress Docker entrypoint. |
| 166 | +3. Sets write permissions on `wp-content/uploads/`. |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +**Development tip:** Set `SKIP_WP_UPDATE=1` to mount your local `wp-content/` without it being overwritten on every restart. |
| 169 | + |

| 220 | + |
| 221 | +1. After making changes, run `pnpm changeset` and follow the prompts to describe what changed. |
| 222 | +2. When ready to release, run `pnpm version` to apply version bumps and update changelogs. |
| 223 | +3. Run `pnpm release` (or let CI do it) to publish to npm. |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +Changelogs are generated in GitHub format and linked to the `devgateway/data-viz-wordpress` repository. |
