Introduction OptStack

WordPress Data Stack Framework — A PHP framework for defining, storing, and managing structured data in WordPress using a unified, extensible stack-based model.

Features

• Data-first, UI-agnostic — Focus on data modeling, not UI
• Native WordPress compatibility — Works with get_option(), get_post_meta(), get_term_meta()
• Unified data model — Same field syntax across Options, Posts, Terms, Users
• Quick field updates — Update single fields with automatic searchable field sync
• Runtime context injection — Use as plugin or Composer library, no conflicts
• Composable & extensible — Interface-driven architecture
• Future-proof — Ready for Headless WordPress and REST workflows
• Modern Admin UI — React + TypeScript + TailwindCSS frontend

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• WordPress 6.0+
• Node.js 18+ (for frontend development)

Architecture

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│           Renderers (UI/API)            │  ← React Admin, REST
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│         Store Adapters (WP)             │  ← OptionsStore, PostStore
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│           Core Framework                │  ← Pure PHP, no WP
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

• Core — Pure PHP, no WordPress dependencies, fully unit testable
• WordPress — Store adapters and hooks
• Frontend — React + TypeScript admin UI
