Basic Usage

1. Create a metabox class extending our base class

class Metabox_Additional_Post_Settings extends W4dev\Wpmetabox\Base
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        /* type = post|term */
        $this->type = 'post';

        /* an unique string identifier */
        $this->id = 'form_settings';

        /* metabox title */
        $this->title = __('Additional Post Settings', 'ocn');

        /* screens would be array of post_types / taxonomies */
        $this->screens = ['post'];
    }

    public function get_fields($post_id)
    {
        $fields = [
            [
                'priority'        => 10,
                'key'             => 'sub_title',
                'name'             => 'sub_title',
                'label'         => esc_html__('Sub title', 'ocn'),
                'type'             => 'text',
                'post_field'     => 'post_excerpt'
            ],
            [
                'priority'        => 11,
                'key'             => 'description',
                'name'             => 'description',
                'label'         => esc_html__('Description', 'ocn'),
                'type'             => 'textarea',
                'post_field'     => 'post_content'
            ],
            [
                'priority'        => 15,
                'key'             => 'pdf_file',
                'name'             => 'pdf_file',
                'label'         => esc_html__('PDF file', 'ocn'),
                'type'             => 'media'
            ]
        ];

        return $fields;
    }

    public function render($post)
    {
        parent::render($post->ID);
    }

    public function save_values($id, $data = [])
    {
        parent::save_values($id, $data);
    }
}

2. Register the metabox class using factory

W4dev\Wpmetabox\Factory::register_metabox(new Metabox_Additional_Post_Settings());

3. Invoke the metabox service

W4dev\Wpmetabox\Service::init();
