Description:
Kirki is a toolkit that allows theme developers to build themes quicker and more easily. It provides more than 30 customizer controls, and the range runs from simple sliders to complex typography controls with Google Fonts integration. The toolkit also generates output automatically: it produces the CSS for the settings a developer adds and it generates the postMessage scripts for them, so these parts of a theme's customizer setup are produced by the toolkit itself.
The feature list names increased performance, a simplified API, automatic CSS generation, automatic postMessage generation, partial refresh, conditional logic, GDPR compliance and improved page speed, and it closes with a note that there is more. Performance appears twice in that list, once as increased performance and once as improved page speed. The simplified API ties into the stated aim of building themes quicker and more easily, while conditional logic, partial refresh and GDPR compliance are listed alongside the generation features as further parts of the toolkit.
The controls named in the documentation are background, checkbox, code, color palette, color, custom, dashicons, date, dropdown pages, editor, generic, image, link, multiple checkbox, multicolor, number, radio buttonset, radio image, radio, repeater, select, slider, sortable, spacing, switch, text, textarea, toggle, typography and upload. Every entry in this list is a customizer control, and every control has its own documentation page on the Kirki site, so the details of each control can be looked up separately.
The intended users are theme developers, since the toolkit is described as a way for them to build themes quicker and more easily. The readme gives Page Builder Framework as a theme example, and the customizer settings of that theme are described as a prime example of what can be achieved with Kirki, combining conditional logic, partial refresh, postMessage and a variety of controls. Detailed documentation is available for the toolkit, and the individual control pages mentioned above are part of it.
