wp-kit is a micro RAD (Rapid Application Development) solution for Wordpress.

Download Composer and install using these commands

You need to be using at least PhP 7.4, make sure it's installed, and make sure Composer is using the correct PhP binary:

php -v
composer -vvv about

Both should refer to a version >= PhP 7.4 if your local environment is setup correctly.

cd /path/to/wp-content/themes
composer create-project wp-kit/theme theme --prefer-dist
cd theme
npm i
npm run build

If you are looking for an RAD for Wordpress you may have come across Themosis Framework and Assely.

wp-kit/theme is very much like these frameworks but has limited features; the benefit of using wp-kit/theme instead of themosis/theme and assely/assely is that you do not need to install any respective plugin framework as all the work in done in the theme and imported via Composer.

You should use Themosis or Assely is you require any handling of following:

• Routes
• Middleware
• Authentication
• Metaboxes
• Custom Fields

If you do not need these features then wp-kit/theme could be for you as it comes packaged with several Themosis and Assely features such as:

• ServiceProvider Config
• PostType Registration
• Taxonomy Registration
• Invoke Controllers on Conditions
• View Handling

wp-kit/theme also comes with further features such as:

• Shortcode Registration
• Shortcode View Handling
• Twig (not in Assely)
