Bedrock/Roots Native compatibility

[Mitchell]

It would be nice to see some native support for Bedrock/Roots ( Bedrock | Modern WordPress Boilerplate | Roots )
Local has Composer support natively so its half way there!

there is a guide on how to install bedrock with local here Bedrock with Local | Bedrock Docs | Roots
However, this does come with some drawbacks. the overview and database tabs for the site do not load information as they are expecting to see “wp-config” in public.

I believe a quick fix to making bedrock work with local would be the ability to easily set where the root path is for the wordpress install.

Also a statement to check either a “.env” or wp-config for the defines.
If this is not something that localwp would consider implementing is it possible to create a plugin that has effect on the preset root path and logic of how it gets this information for the ( the overview and database tabs )

I managed to build my own add-on that gives me what i need.
however its only half the issue, it would be nice to have the ability to update the following

https://getflywheel.github.io/local-addon-api/classes/local_main.services.sitedataservice.html
function name: updateSite

https://getflywheel.github.io/local-addon-api/interfaces/local.sitejson.html

this is useful, but. it would be more useful if we had the following

1: root
2: version.php ( dir )
3: wp-config.php ( dir )

Also in the case someone is using bedrock, it would be nice to implement another function that allows us to update the info used from wp-config. as bedrock uses a .env format.

I would be happy to help develop this solution into localwp and or create it as a standalone add-on if these options can be added.

Hi @Mitchell

We’ve seen a fair amount of interest in Bedrock + Local around the forums, and we already have a feature request if you’d like to comment and upvote:

Support Bedrock in Local

Creating a parent feature request so that we can drive discussion around if supporting Bedrock in Local makes sense. I’ll grab relevant threads and drop them here, but for now, feel free to upvote!

I can also merge your request into that one if you’d be okay with that.
