One php file only ? Load a github project or an entire project

  • Hello,
    I’m a beginner in web programmation, so I don’t understand it all
    Wordpress plungins only accept .php files with a .zip compression, but then you have to type all the code on one file ?
    Because I load a github project which uses .js and other types of files, I can’t include all the project in the .zip ?
    Because the chatbot works (with React) but I don’t how to load it on WordPress

    To be more precise, I want to build a chatbot for a site, and I want to use this github project : https://lucasbassetti.com.br/react-simple-chatbot/#/docs/installation

    Thank you !

    You can have multiple files. Organize them into logical sub-folders. Keep only the most principal files in the plugin’s root. Only the plugin’s main .php file is loaded at run time. You can include or require other files from that one file as needed. Other types of resources can be placed in the .zip file. You should keep them organized by type in sub-folders like /js/, /images/, /inc/, etc.

    If you’ve not seen it yet, this is a good resource:

    In particular, check out The Plugin Directory section.
