Creating an Elementor widget to SOMA standards requires a complete scaffold including class files, loader registration, CSS assets, integration tests, and documentation. This enforces a required folder structure and production-ready validation within the WordPress theme.

The standard folder structure for a custom Elementor widget includes class files, loader registration, CSS assets, integration tests, and translation files. Enforcing this structure ensures proper widget registration and production-ready validation.

Generating integration tests for an Elementor widget involves creating test files that verify Elementor compatibility and updating AllWidgetsTest.php. This provides production-ready validation directly within your WordPress theme testing environment.

Creating a new Elementor widget does not require manual translation and documentation setup when automated scaffolding is used. The workflow prepares translations and generates documentation as part of the end-to-end widget creation process.

You can extend an existing Elementor widget instead of building one from scratch. The scaffolding workflow supports extending existing widgets while enforcing required folder structure, CSS assets, and integration tests within the WordPress theme.
