I finished up the documentation that instructs people how to install Underpin using WordPress. I frequently get asked how to set up Composer in a WordPress install, so I took some time to add details on how to do that, too. Hoping this helps people get started.

Start with the basic building block of all narrative.

In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing.

Just wrote a ton of documentation on Underpin's registry/collections API, full of tons of examples with sample code and everything. Hoping I can add to this next week sometime.

I’m Committing to Better Standards for Underpin

For my personal site, I realized that <a href="/micro/1335">I needed a way to convert tags into hashtags</a>, so that when I am showing a social feed I can make my tags look and feel as much like a micro post as possible. In-order to do that, I needed a way to transform <code>a tag like this</code> into <code>ATagLikeThis</code>. This is called PascalCase, which is very similar to camelCase, only the first letter is capitalized in the former, and it's lowercase int he latter.

I decided that the perfect place to put this was inside <a href="https://github.com/Underpin-WP/underpin/blob/b69f3d7bb2ad6df8423c6ccd83f2c74096b7a8b6/lib/Helpers/String_Helper.php#L41-L47">Underpin's String Helper class</a>, which has loads of little helpers for string manipulation. It's largely inspired by Laravel's helper classes, and works in much the same way. I quite like this update, particularly how it's implemented, because it makes really good use of Underpin's <a href="https://github.com/Underpin-WP/underpin/blob/master/lib/Helpers/Processors/Array_Processor.php">Array Processor</a> class to make the conversion.

If you're not aware of what Underpin is, it's a set of utilities that make developing in non-Laravel applications a little easier. It tries to apply more-modern PHP approaches and helps make it easier to write test-able code. My use case is generally to use it within WordPress, but it is not coupled to WordPress at all, and I have also used it a bit for simple PHP projects as a standalone library.
