Our Solution

We had a good time creating the plugin because the specs was clear, the blueprint was already made. We just had to integrate the plan into WordPress.

Here’s how we solved the problem:

Custom Post Type

As soon as our plugin is installed, it creates a Custom Post Type named “Sleep Generator”. We have placed settings on the CPT page so that Admin can create Sleep Generators for certain ages and add, edit events in the schedule accordingly. He can also attach a post body into the schedule which will help the parent even more with helpful tips.

Sleep Generator Page

The page is unique of its kind that we worked on. It has a slider to set the wake up time and “events” to show the various points in the schedules. When the slider is changed, we programmed the events to adopt to the wake up time and update the whole sleep schedule automatically. The Admin just needs to make sure he has created the events properly in the CPT.

Responsiveness

The whole design was to be made usable on mobile devices. So we had to plan accordingly. We have designed the interface and used a proper slider library so that it can be usable in a tiny screen.
