Description:
Kirki is a toolkit for WordPress theme developers who want to build themes quicker and more easily. It works with the WordPress customizer and provides over 30 custom controls, ranging from simple sliders to complex typography controls with Google Fonts integration. Beyond the controls themselves, it handles features such as automatic CSS generation and automatic postMessage script generation, which means developers can define settings once and let the toolkit take care of the output in the customizer and on the front end of the site.
The feature set goes well beyond basic controls. Kirki offers a simplified API so that adding customizer settings requires less code, and it includes increased performance and improved page speed as stated goals. It supports partial refresh, so individual areas of the preview can update without a full page reload, and it supports conditional logic, so controls can appear or behave differently depending on other settings. It also states GDPR compliance as one of its features. Together these capabilities are aimed at making theme development a breeze, according to the project description.
The available controls cover a wide range of needs. They include 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 controls. This variety lets developers choose the right interface for each setting, whether that means a simple text field, a color picker, an image selector, a sortable list or a full typography control with font options.
Kirki is intended for theme developers, and the project points to Page Builder Framework as a theme example. That theme's customizer settings are described as a prime example of what can be achieved with Kirki, using conditional logic, partial refresh, postMessage and a variety of controls. Detailed documentation is available for developers who want to learn how to use the toolkit and its controls in their own themes.
