WPFluent Framework

WP Social Ninja is built on WPFluent (vendor/wpfluent/), a Laravel-inspired micro-framework for WordPress plugins. It lives under the WPSocialReviews\Framework\ namespace and provides:

• A service container (Application extends Container) with binding/singletons and auto-resolution.
• HTTP routing for the WordPress REST API (Framework\Http\Router).
• Controllers, policies, and requests (Framework\Http\*).
• An Eloquent-like ORM and query builder for the wpsr_ tables.
• A migration runner (database/Migrations/, classmap autoloaded).
• Support utilities (Framework\Support\Arr, collections, etc.).

Why a framework?

Instead of scattering add_action, $wpdb, and register_rest_route calls throughout the plugin, WPFluent centralizes them:

Raw WordPress	WPFluent equivalent
register_rest_route()	$router->get()/post()/... in api.php
$wpdb->get_results()	Review::where(...)->get() (ORM)
add_action()/add_filter()	$app->addAction()/addFilter() and hook handlers
Manual capability checks	Policy classes (->withPolicy('AdminPolicy'))
dbDelta() on activation	Migration classes in database/Migrations/

Key namespaces

• WPSocialReviews\Framework\Foundation\Application — the container / app instance.
• WPSocialReviews\Framework\Http\Router — REST route registration.
• WPSocialReviews\Framework\Http\Controller — base controller.
• WPSocialReviews\Framework\Support\Arr — array helpers used across the app.

Configuration

Framework configuration lives in config/:

• config/app.php — application config, including the REST namespace and version:

  'rest_namespace' => 'wpsocialreviews',
  'rest_version'   => 'v2',

  This is why every endpoint is served under /wp-json/wpsocialreviews/v2/… — see REST API.

• config/database.php — database configuration.
