# WooCommerce Development Setup with WP-ENV Docker development setup for WooCommerce with WP-ENV. ## Prerequisites Please install WP-ENV before getting started. You can find more about WP-ENV on [here](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/env). The following command installs WP-ENV globally. `npm -g i @wordpress/env` ## Starting WP-ENV 1. Navigate to the root of WooCommerce source code. 2. Start the docker container by running `wp-env start` You should see the following output ``` WordPress development site started at http://localhost:8888/ WordPress test site started at http://localhost:8889/ MySQL is listening on port 55003 ``` The port # might be different depending on your `.wp-env.override.json` configuration. ## Getting Started with Developing Once you have WP-ENV container up, we need to run a few commands to start developing. 1. Run `npm install` to install npm modules. 2. Run `npm run dev` 3. Run `composer install` to install PHP dependencies. If you don't have Composer available locally, run the following command. It runs the command in WP-ENV container. `wp-env run composer composer install` You might also want to run `npm start` to watch your CSS and JS changes if you are working on the frontend. You're now ready to develop! ## Using Xdebug Please refer to [WP-ENV official README](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/env#using-xdebug) section for setting up Xdebug. ## Overriding the Default Configuration The default configuration comes with PHP 7.4, WooCommerce 5.0, and a few WordPress config values. You can create `.wp-env.override.json` file and override the default configuration values. You can find more about `.wp-env.override.json` configuration [here](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/env#wp-envoverridejson). **Example: Overriding PHP version to 8.0** Create `.wp-env.override.json` in the root directory with the following content. ```json { "phpVersion": "8.0" } ``` **Exampe: Adding a locally installed plugin** Method 1 - Adding to the `plugins` array Open the default `.wp-env.json` and copy `plugins` array and paste it into the `.wp-env.override.json` and add your locally installed plugin. Copying the default `plugins` is needed as WP-ENV does not merge the values of the `plugins`. ```json { "plugins": [ "./plugins/woocommerce", "https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-crontrol.1.10.0.zip" ] } ``` Method 2 - Adding to the `mappings` This method is simpler, but the plugin does not get activated on startup. You need to manually activate it yourself on the first startup. ```json { "mappings": { "wp-content/plugins/wp-crontrol": "../woocommerce" } } ``` ## Accessing MySQL The MySQL port can change when you restart your container. You can get the current MySQL port from the output of `wp-env start` command. 1. Open your choice of MySQL tool. 2. Use the following values to access the MySQL container. 3. You can omit the username and password. | Name | Value | | -------- | --------------------- | | Host | 127.0.0.1 | | Username | | | Password | | | Port | Port from the command | ## HOWTOs ##### How do I ssh into the container? Run the following command to ssh into the container `wp-env run wordpress /bin/bash` You can run a command in the container with the following syntax. You can find more about on the `run` command [here](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/env#wp-env-run-container-command) Syntax: `wp-env run :container-type :linux-command`
