Developer Documentation?

[fabrizim]

Hello all -

I'm new to Oxygen and am really enjoying it so far - the CSS driven style options, and reusable classes, make it far more powerful than other WordPress builders I've used.

As a developer, I'd love to create my own elements. In WP Bakery, they have a vc_map function that can easily translate a shortcode into one of their elements. I took a spin through the Oxygen code (looking for all the filters, etc) to get an idea of where to start, but I was wondering if there is any documentation or a sample third-party add-on repo.

Thanks in advance-
Mark

Hi @fabrizim,

Unfortunately, Oxygen's API isn't yet documented. However, there is a third-party tutorial here on creating an element with the API that might get you started: https://codewriteups.com/build-custom-oxygenbuilder-elements-in-wordpress.html.

That's perfect! Thanks for the link.

There is no copy of that link in Archive.org too.

The link that @KittenCodes points to gives a very nice overview. If you want to see how the Oxygen team has used the API you can look at the code in the following:
oxygen\component-framework\components\classes\menu-pro.class.php
oxygen\component-framework\components\classes\shape-divider.class.php

Both extend the OxyEl class. The comments in that class are sparse but it can be helpful to look through as well.
