Asset Loading

Overview
WP Framework now manages asset loading using the GetAssetInfo trait. Any class that registers assets must use this trait to retrieve asset details—such as dependencies and version—from a corresponding .asset.php file. This system also allows a fallback version when the asset file is unavailable.

Setup
Within your asset-registering class, include the GetAssetInfo trait and initialize the asset variables by calling the setup_asset_vars method. You must pass in the distribution directory path and a fallback version number. For example:

$this->setup_asset_vars(
    dist_path: TENUP_PLUGIN_PATH . 'dist/',
    fallback_version: TENUP_PLUGIN_VERSION
);

This sets the base path for assets and ensures that a fallback version is used when the corresponding .asset.php file cannot be found.

Enqueuing Assets

Once asset variables are set up, you can enqueue your scripts by using the get_asset_info() method provided by the trait. This method dynamically retrieves the appropriate asset information (dependencies and version) from the .asset.php file. For example, to enqueue an admin script:

wp_enqueue_script(
    'tenup_plugin_admin',
    TENUP_PLUGIN_URL . 'dist/js/admin.js',
    $this->get_asset_info( 'admin', 'dependencies' ),
    $this->get_asset_info( 'admin', 'version' ),
    true
);

• Dependencies: $this->get_asset_info( 'admin', 'dependencies' ) retrieves an array of script dependencies.
• Version: $this->get_asset_info( 'admin', 'version' ) retrieves the asset version for cache busting.

Key Points

• Trait Usage: Use the GetAssetInfo trait in any class that registers assets.
• Asset Setup: Call setup_asset_vars() with the correct dist directory and fallback version.
• Dynamic Retrieval: Enqueue assets using get_asset_info() to dynamically load dependencies and version info from the .asset.php file.
