Used alongside add_shortcode, Shortcake supplies a user-friendly interface for adding a shortcode to a post, and viewing and editing it from within the content editor.
Once you’ve installed the plugin, you’ll need to register UI for your shortcodes. For inspiration, check out examples of Shortcake in the wild.

Running tests
We have test coverage for PHP using PHPunit, and JavaScript using Jasmine.
Running tests locally
Jasmine tests can be run using grunt jasmine and are also run as part of the grunt scripts task. To update the core WordPress files used by the Jasmine test suite, run grunt updateJasmineCoreScripts --abspath="/path/to/wordpress-install".
Screenshots
Without Shortcake, shortcodes have a minimal UI.
But with Shortcake, TinyMCE will render the shortcode in a TinyMCE view.
And add a user-friendly UI to edit shortcode content and attributes.
Add new shortcodes to your post through "Add Media".
