## Description

Quick Query is a snappy interface for WP_Query that makes querying with WordPress
straightforward and concise. It’s built on top of WP_Query (with a few exceptions),
and provides a much more flexible and accomodating interface for querying posts.

Learn more about Quick Query and see code examples [here](https://github.com/pkarl/quick-query).

### Quick Query is under heavy development!

I’m writing code + testing as fast as I can to get us to a good minimum set of functionality.

### The Future!

Besides adding interfaces for the most common querying tasks (posts, tags, authors,
sorting, etc.), I’d like to build in sensitivity to ACF fields/data and possibly
a caching interface.

Before that can happen, there are lots of tests to be written and plenty of design
decisions to be made (and, of course, documentation!).

### Who’s this for?

This is certainly geared more toward developers than designers and hobbyists. That
said, It does return WP_Post objects, so all/most of the functionality you’re used
to may be there.

## Installation

We’re working on getting this up into composer registries and what not. For now 
you can follow this simple process:

 1. Upload `QuickQuery.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Query away!
