vscode-devcontainer-wordpress

This contains the configuration necessary for setting up WordPress development using VSCode Dev Containers. A MariaDB and WordPress devlopment container are started, and Wordpress is automatically installed and available at http://localhost:8080.

Configuration

By default the container is configured for plugin development, but you can switch to theme development by changing the volume for the WordPress service in docker-compose.yml

WordPress settings can be configured in .devcontainer/wp-setup.sh, i.e. the site name, and admin user account details. You can also specify a space-separated list of WordPress plugins to automatically install as well. By setting WP_RESET to true, the container will rebuild the WordPress instalation from scratch every time it is loaded.

Data folder

Any .sql files placed .devcontainer/data will be automatically imported when your site is built (using wp db import). It is up to you to ensure table name prefixes will match (defualt is wp_).

Anything placed in the plugins folder (single files or folders) will be copied into the WordPress plugins folder and activated as a plugin. This enables things like defining custom post types relevant to your imported data set, but not part of the development process.

Included Tools

  • XDebug, configured
  • WP-CLI
  • Composer
  • NodeJS
  • PHP/WordPress extensions for VSCode (see devconatainer.json)

TODO

  • provide a preconfigured launch.json for PHP debugging
  • theme auto-install
