Plugin Endpoints

This tiny library allows you to register various URL endpoints. When any of these endpoints is requested, only the specified set of enabled plugins will be loaded.

This drastically improves performance for requests to these URL's, only loading the minimum number of required plugins to return the final response.

Results depend on many factors but it is not unusual to experience a 50% gain in speed and a decrease in memory consumption of about 30%.

Installation

Using Composer

{
    "require": {
        "dannyvankooten/plugin-endpoints": "dev-master"
    }
}

Manually

require __DIR__ . '/plugin-endpoints/vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

Because the library needs control over which plugins are loaded, you need to instantiate the Router class and register your endpoints from your mu-plugins folder.

The following example registers an endpoint for Easy Digital Downloads & the Software Licensing add-on.

// file: `/wp-content/mu-plugins/endpoints.php`

// load the autoloader manually (or use Composer!)
require __DIR__ . '/plugin-endpoints/vendor/autoload.php';

// instantiate the routing class
$router = new PluginEndpoints\Router;

// register an endpoint
$router->register_endpoint( 
	'/edd-sl-api', 	// listen to requests starting with /edd-sl-api
	array(
		'easy-digital-downloads/easy-digital-downloads.php',
		'edd-software-licensing/edd-software-licenses.php'
	)				// only enable edd & edd sl plugins
);

// done! 

Now, point a request at https://your-site/edd-sl-api.... and notice that only the specified plugins are loaded for the request.

GET http://local.wp/edd-sl-api/?edd_action=activate_license...
