New year - new boilerplate

We reinvented the wheel and updated boilerplate to function as a standalone theme. Now, when you are done coding, you can take this theme and upload it directly from the WordPress admin.
The major improvement happened under the hood with a super sexy setup wizard that will guide you through the installation process.

Just run npx create-wp-theme follow the instructions and that's it.

Happy coding 🎉

• Moved ACF functionality to Plugins folder
• Added languages class
• Minor fixes on JS and Config
• Added automatic assets cache busting

OOP theme

We took a new approach to building WordPress projects and ignored the fact that themes use procedural coding and went to the future. Sort of speaking.

Version 2.0 is completely new with breaking changes from version 1.0.

We think this is the way to go with WordPress themes. Using Object-oriented programing all around.

Some new features:

• OOP theme
• Namespacing
• Autoloader
• Project-specific wp-config
• Webpack 3+
• Updated SASS structure
• Import / export scripts
• Project setup wizard
• etc.
