Example

<?php
use Lipe\Lib\Post_Type\Post_Type;

$books = new Post_Type('book');
$books->labels('Book', 'Books');
$books->show_in_rest(true, 'books');
$books->add_support(['title', 'editor', 'thumbnail']);

Labels

Fluent label builder used by Post_Type.

Key public methods

• public function name(string $label): Labels
• public function singular_name(string $label): Labels
• public function add_new_item(string $label): Labels
• public function archive_label(string $label): Labels
• public function menu_name(string $label): Labels

Capabilities

Fluent capability builder used by Post_Type.

Key public methods

• public function edit_post(string $capability): Capabilities
• public function edit_posts(string $capability): Capabilities
• public function publish_posts(string $capability): Capabilities
• public function create_posts(string $capability): Capabilities
• public function get_cap(string $capability_name): ?string
• public function get_capabilities(): array

List-table integration

• Post_List_Column registers a custom admin column and exposes public function maybe_render_column(string $column, int $post_id): void and public function add_column(array $columns): array.
• Post_List_Filter connects a Post_List_Column\Filter implementation to the list table and exposes public function render_filter(string $post_type): void and public function maybe_filter_query(\WP_Query $query): void.
• Post_List_Column\ListColumn and Post_List_Column\Filter define the contracts used by those classes.

Supporting types

• Post_Object_Trait wraps a WP_Post and exposes get_object(), get_id(), exists(), and factory().
• Register_Post_Status, Register_Post_Type, and Wp_Insert_Post are fluent arg objects for the corresponding WordPress core functions.
• Custom_Post_Type and Custom_Post_Type\Register_Post_Type are deprecated compatibility layers.
