**Implementation Plan Created: IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_META_COMPAT.md** Following all documentation guidelines: - ADDON_BRIDGE_PATTERN.md (3-level strategy) - ADDON_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md (hook system) - ADDON_REACT_INTEGRATION.md (React exposure) - METABOX_COMPAT.md (compatibility requirements) **Key Principles:** 1. ✅ Zero addon dependencies in core 2. ✅ Listen to WP/WooCommerce hooks (NOT WooNooW-specific) 3. ✅ Community does NOTHING extra 4. ❌ Do NOT support specific plugins 5. ❌ Do NOT integrate plugins into core **3 Phases:** Phase 1: Backend API Enhancement (2-3 days) - Add get_order_meta_data() / get_product_meta_data() - Add update_order_meta_data() / update_product_meta_data() - Expose meta in API responses - Add filters: woonoow/order_allowed_private_meta - Add filters: woonoow/order_updatable_meta - Add filters: woonoow/order_api_data - Add actions: woonoow/order_updated Phase 2: Frontend Components (3-4 days) - Create MetaFields.tsx component (generic field renderer) - Create useMetaFields.ts hook (registry access) - Update Orders/Edit.tsx to include meta fields - Update Products/Edit.tsx to include meta fields - Support all field types: text, textarea, number, select, checkbox Phase 3: PHP Registry System (2-3 days) - Create MetaFieldsRegistry.php - Add action: woonoow/register_meta_fields - Auto-register fields to allowed meta lists - Localize to JavaScript (window.WooNooWMetaFields) - Initialize in Plugin.php **Testing Plan:** - WooCommerce Shipment Tracking plugin - Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) - Custom metabox plugins - Meta data save/update - Field registration **Timeline:** 8-12 days (1.5-2 weeks) **Success Criteria:** ✅ Plugins using standard WP/WooCommerce meta work automatically ✅ No special integration needed ✅ Meta fields visible and editable ✅ Zero coupling with specific plugins ✅ Community does NOTHING extra Ready to start implementation!
WooNooW
WooNooW is a modern experience layer for WooCommerce — enhancing UX, speed, and reliability without data migration.
It keeps WooCommerce as the core engine while providing a modern React-powered interface for both the storefront (cart, checkout, my‑account) and the admin (orders, dashboard).
Three Admin Modes:
- Normal Mode: Traditional wp-admin integration (
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woonoow) - Fullscreen Mode: Distraction-free interface (toggle in header)
- Standalone Mode: Complete standalone app at
yoursite.com/adminwith custom login ✨
🔍 Background
WooCommerce is the most used e‑commerce engine in the world, but its architecture has become heavy and fragmented.
With React‑based blocks (Checkout, Cart, Product Edit) and HPOS now rolling out, many existing addons are becoming obsolete or unstable.
WooNooW bridges the gap between Woo’s legacy PHP system and the new modern stack — so users get performance and simplicity without losing compatibility.
🚀 Key Principles
- No Migration Needed – Woo data stays intact.
- Safe Activate/Deactivate – revert to native Woo anytime, no data loss.
- Hybrid by Default – SSR + React islands for Cart/Checkout/My‑Account.
- Full SPA Toggle – optional React‑only mode for max performance.
- HPOS Mandatory – optimized datastore and async operations.
- Compat Layer – hook mirror + slot rendering for legacy addons.
- Async Mail & Tasks – powered by Action Scheduler.
🧱 Tech Stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Backend | PHP 8.2+, WordPress, WooCommerce (HPOS), Action Scheduler |
| Frontend | React 18 + TypeScript, Vite, React Query, Tailwind (optional) |
| Build & Package | Composer, NPM, ESM scripts, Zip automation |
| Architecture | Modular PSR‑4 classes, REST‑driven SPA islands |
