## What it is
Tonik is a WordPress starter theme that modernizes theme development with ES6, SASS, Webpack asset management, PHP namespaces, and a simple service container. It provides a structured boilerplate with front-end presets for Foundation, Bootstrap, Bulma, and Vue.

## Use cases
- start a modern wordpress theme project
- use webpack and sass in wordpress theme development
- bootstrap a wordpress theme with es6 javascript
- organize wordpress theme code with php namespaces
- scaffold a new wordpress theme with a cli
- build a wordpress theme with vue or bootstrap

## When to choose
- starting a new custom WordPress theme from scratch
- you want a modern asset pipeline (Webpack, SASS, ES6) in WordPress
- you prefer structured, namespace-based PHP theme architecture

## When to avoid
- maintaining an existing classic WordPress theme
- you need a fully supported, actively updated starter
- you only need a simple child theme without a build step

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: templating, build-tool, cli
- domain: web-development, cms, developer-tools
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: wordpress, starter-theme, webpack, sass, es6, theme-development, boilerplate, nodejs, web-server
