Supercharge your WordPress Development

Introduction

Lumberjack is a powerful MVC framework for the modern WordPress developer. Write better, more expressive and easier to maintain code.

Who is Lumberjack for?

Coming from another PHP framework such as Laravel, have experience using Timber with WordPress but want more, or are just getting started with modern WordPress? Then Lumberjack is for you.

Use as little or as much as you need, it's beginner friendly!

Beautiful code. Easy to maintain

Object orientated and MVC patterns help keep your code structured and DRY.

index.php

class IndexController
{
    public function handle()
    {
        $context = Timber::get_context();
        $context['posts'] = Post::whereStatus('publish')
            ->limit(5)
            ->get();

        return new TimberResponse('index.twig', $context);
    }
}

index.twig

{% raw %}
{% if posts is not empty %}
    <h4>Recent Articles</h4>
    <ul>
        {% for post in posts %}
            <li class="article">
                <h3>{{ $post->title }}</h3>
                {{ $post->preview }}
                <a href="{{ $post->link }}">Read the full story</a>
            </li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endif %}
{% endraw %}
