[Feature] Convert repository / codebase to a WordPress plugin that can be installed via composer

[TimidRobot]

Problem

The WordPress plugin as it is currently organized is difficult to install programmatically (Infrastructure as Code).

Description

Convert repository / codebase to a WordPress plugin that can be installed via composer or installed easily if the site was on managed WordPress hosting.

Additional context

The current website has the wordpress-plugin directory symlinked into wp-content/plugins/

Hi!
I am an Outreachy applicant interested in contributing to this project. I have setup my dev environment and installed the application as a plugin.
Just to be sure I understand this task - the goal of this issue is to create ability to fill and submit this form on WordPress websites as plugins and also install it on PHP projects using composer - https://rightsback.org/questionnaire.
Please direct/correct me if I am wrong and I will also appreciate any guide that can help me get up and running quicker, thank you

Hi @TimidRobot @possumbilities
Please can I get a reply on this. Thanks

[possumbilities]

@amarachigoodness74 Hi, and thanks for the interest!

The main goal is that the project is setup to operate as a proper WordPress plugin, using current standards. Once that is done then it would be possible to utilize Composer to install it since Composer expects it to be a proper plugin.

Okay, thank you @possumbilities. I am already working on the plugin. I will be making small PRs as I progress. Thank you

Hello @possumbilities i am Doreen from Uganda, i am interested in working on modernising the termination transfer of the word press plugin

@possumbilities please should I use vanilla or React, or still use jQuery for the JavaScript part?

[possumbilities]

@onyijne I would suggest keeping the JS as close to what it is using currently and not introduce a new technology or approach if at all possible.

[onyijne]

@possumbilities okay thanks, will do that now.

Hi @possumbilities
I am done, kindly review #131 if I’m on the right track, thanks.

[onyijne]

Following the new PR guidelines stated at the recent RFC I have closed #131
On Vue being JavaScript development framework in the new RFC, please @possumbilities should I now use Vue or still stick to jQuery? Please pardon me for asking again, I just want to be sure the new RFC doesn’t affect your previous answer.

[possumbilities]

@onyijne If the project is using jQuery, continue or upgrade to basic vanilla JS. There shouldn't be a need to incorporate Vue into this project at this time. So my original comment still stands.

Okay thanks
