Coming from other frameworks (ZF, Kohana, Proprietary PHP, PHP + Smarty), I
tend to do CPT's like MVC...
wp-content/my-plugin/plugin.php // authoring and calls bootstrap
wp-content/my-plugin/boostrap.php // this file handles auto-loading, and
creating files.
wp-content/my-plugin/models/cars.php // this would be the post type
wp-content/my-plugin/controllers/cars_controller.php // this would be
functions, etc. related to ONLY cars model
wp-content/my-plugin/assets/stylesheets/cars.css, // this file is
automatically created for you
wp-content/my-plugin/assets/javascript/cars.js, // this file is
automatically created for you
FYI, I have an abstract class, which is extended for making models (CPTs)
easier to create. Here's a Gist <https://gist.github.com/3260411> of how I
create CPTs.
Yes, there is basically one css and js per model, but on the production
site they (the css & js) files are concatenated and minified using Googles
Closure into one file.
