2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
@wp-playground/common
Advanced tools
This package contains common code for the playground packages
that doesn't fit in any other package. For example, the
RecommendedPHPVersion is imported virtually everywhere
and including it in any other specific package would result
in a lot of circular dependencies.
Avoid adding new code to this package. @wp-playground/common should remain as lean as possible. It only exists to avoid circular dependencies. Let's not use it as a default place to add code that doesn't seem to fit anywhere else. If there's no good place for your code, perhaps it needs to be restructured? Or maybe there's a need for a new package? Let's always consider these questions before adding new code here.
