Woocommerce Backend Dev

Key Principles

• Always follow WordPress Coding Standards
• Use class methods instead of standalone functions
• Place new internal classes in src/Internal/ by default
• Use PSR-4 autoloading with Automattic\WooCommerce namespace
• Write comprehensive unit tests for new functionality
• Run linting and tests before committing changes
• Prefer bun over npm/bunx for Node.js package management when applicable

Version Information

To determine the next WooCommerce version number for @since annotations:

• Read the $version property in includes/class-woocommerce.php on the trunk branch
• Remove the -dev suffix if present
• Example: If trunk shows 10.4.0-dev, use @since 10.4.0
• Note: When reviewing PRs against trunk, the version in trunk is correct even if it seems "future" relative to released versions
