README

Easily enforce SemVer in your WordPress plugins.

By using this class, auto updates will be disabled when the plugin's new version is a major update, and provide a helpful notice in the update section of the plugin that there may be breaking changes.

Usage

1. Install the class as a dependency via composer:

composer require blakewilson/wp-enforce-semver

1. Initialize the class in your plugin:

// Init autoloader from Composer
if ( file_exists( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'vendor/autoload.php' ) ) {
	require plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'vendor/autoload.php';
}

use EnforceSemVer\EnforceSemVer;

new EnforceSemVer('my-plugin/my-plugin.php');

And that's it! Once your end-users install your plugin, they will be protected against auto updates for major releases, and see a helpful message in the plugins list next to your plugin update:

Additionally, this notice text can be modified via a filter:

add_filter( 'semantic_versioning_notice_text', function($notice_text, $plugin_file_name) {
	// Modify notice text here.

	return $notice_text;
});
