Custom Post Type (CPT)

1. Using Option Builder

The framework includes a powerful option builder to easily create post types.

use CodexShaper\Framework\Builder\CustomPostType;

CustomPostType::create(
    'custom_post', // Post Type ID
    array(
        "post_type"     => "custom_post",
        "name"          => "Custom posts",
        "singular_name" => "Custom post",
        "plural_name"   => "Custom posts",
        "supports"      => array(
            "title",
            "editor",
            "author",
            "excerpt",
        ),
        "rewrite"       => array(
            "slug"       => "custom-post",
            "with_front" => false,
        ),
        "exclude_from_search" => true,
        "has_archive"         => true,
        "publicly_queryable"  => true,
        "hierarchical"        => false,
        "show_in_menu"        => true,
        "show_ui"             => true,
        "show_in_nav_menus"   => true,
        "menu_icon"           => false,
    )
);

3. Creating Manually

Steps:

1. Navigate to:

   {project_root}/wp-content/plugins/codexshaper-framework/src/PostTypes

2. Create a file using UpperCamelCase.php naming convention (e.g., CustomMenu.php).
3. Open the file in a text editor and insert the following code:

<?php

namespace CodexShaper\Framework\PostTypes;

use CodexShaper\Framework\Foundation\PostType;

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
    exit();
}

class CustomMenu extends PostType {
    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function get_name() {
        return 'custom-menu';
    }

    public function get_title() {
        return join( ' ', array_map( 'ucfirst', explode( '-', $this->post_type ) ) );
    }

    public function get_capability_type() {
        return esc_html__( 'post', 'textdomain' );
    }

    public function get_supports() {
        return array(
            'title',
            'editor',
            'thumbnail',
        );
    }

    public function is_public() {
        return true;
    }

    public function is_publicly_queryable() {
        return true;
    }

    public function is_show_ui() {
        return true;
    }

    public function is_show_in_rest() {
        return true;
    }

    public function is_query_var() {
        return true;
    }

    public function is_unregister() {
        return false;
    }
}

Done! Your custom post type is now registered.
