# Posttypes Taxonomies

## Registering via JSON

Both CPTs and taxonomies live in their respective config files.\
PorterWP validates, merges defaults, and calls `register_post_type()` / `register_taxonomy()` during the `init` action.

| Feature    | File              | Hook                       |
| ---------- | ----------------- | -------------------------- |
| Post Types | `posttypes.json`  | `Porter_Config_Posttypes`  |
| Taxonomies | `taxonomies.json` | `Porter_Config_Taxonomies` |

### Auto Labels

If you omit the `labels` object, PorterWP generates a full label set from the slug (e.g. `project` → *Project*, *Projects*, *Add new Project*, etc.).

### Icon SVG

When you save `posttypes.json`, Gulp fires `generateCptIcons()` and writes:

```
porter/inc/posttypes/{slug}/icon.svg
```

WordPress’ list table and Site Editor then render the icon automatically.

## Relationships

Add `taxonomies` inside a CPT, or `object_type` inside a taxonomy to connect them.

```jsonc
# posttypes.json
{
  "project": {
    "taxonomies": ["topic", "status"]
  }
}
```

```jsonc
# taxonomies.json
{
  "status": {
    "object_type": ["project"]
  }
}
```
