How to build a WordPress plugin using Lumen

Do this:

1. Use WP-CLI to download a clean copy of WordPress: wp download
2. Run WordPress locally using Laravel Valet
3. Setup WordPress—use WP-CLI or the Web UI, doesn't matter
4. Install and activate the WP REST project: wp plugin install rest-api && wp plugin activate rest-api
5. Install Lumen globally: https://lumen.laravel.com/docs/5.3/installation
6. Create a new Lumen project in the wp-content/plugins folder: lumen new {$pluginName}
7. Copy in config/app.php and config/database.php (attached to this Gist)
8. Remove the contents of app/Http/routes.php—we'll be using the WP REST API for routing
9. Modify bootstrap/app.php: uncomment both $app->withFacades(); and $app->withEloquent();, and add $app->configure('app');
10. Optionally, add my custom Handler implementation: copy Handler.php to {$pluginName}/app/Exceptions; this implementation turns Exceptions into JSON responses instead of marking them up with HTML
11. Copy plugin.php (attached to this Gist) to your plugin's path, e.g., {$pluginName}/plugin.php; this is your plugin's main file, where you'll build out your routes
12. Make sure to remove the /vendor entry from .gitignore so that if/when you distribute your WordPress plugin, it will ship with all the necessary dependencies

Now you can do this:

1. Use Laravel's Service Container to add complex functionality to your plugins: Event Broadcasting, Notifications, Caching, Queing, and Mail
2. Use Laravel's Eloquent ORM and Migrations to rapidly build your plugin's model code
3. Run Laravel's artisan CLI tool through WP-CLI: wp {$pluginName} {$artisanCmd} ...
4. Build awesome things

@explainer You are looking for Wordpress' rest api ☃ [ https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/ ] ☃

I found a great article.
Thanks to you, it became easier to interact with WordPress. Thank you!

But there are some problems.
I added a model file and executed composer dump-autoload,
but the Eloquent model cannot be used.
For example, Item::get();

"Call to a member function connection() on null",
illuminate/database/Eloquent/Model.php(1253)

If you look into it, you need to uncomment the following in bootstrap/app.php.

$app->withFacades();

$app->withEloquent();

I did this but the model is not available.
The query builder can be used, so the database settings are correct.
DB::table('items')->get(); // OK
How can I use it?

There was another problem.
paginate() doesn't capture ?page=N. The first page is responded no matter how many pages are specified.
This was solved by explicitly specifying the page number, but I want to know the correct solution.

->paginate($params['limit'], ['*'], 'page', $params['page']) // OK...

• WordPress 5.2.3
• Lumen 6.1.0

Thanks.
