Below is a basic example of getting started with the class, though your setup may be different depending on how you are using composer.

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

\Nine3\Lama::init();

# Install manually

Download/Clone this repository and load the main class file into your theme/plugins like so:

require_once 'lama/class-lama.php';

\Nine3\Lama::init();

# Development

npm/yarn is needed to compile the JS file.

npm install

yarn install

# Build the JS

npm run build

yarn build

# Debug

When the debug is enabled in WordPress LAMA automatically outputs, in the debug.log file, the following information:

• the $args array parameters passed to the WP_Query (when performing the ajax request)
• the template that is trying to load for each element found

In alternative is possible to set the constant LAMA_DEBUG to true to output that information inside the wp-content/lama.log file, add the following line to your starter theme/plugin:

define( 'LAMA_DEBUG', true );
