Programatically create controls?

Hi,

Your plugin is amazing! I want to use it with my theme to create demo controls when the theme is activated. I can create the controls but I’m not sure how exactly I can attach the properties to these controls.

So basically I’m doing:

$egf_post_handle = EGF_Posttype::get_instance();
$post_id = $egf_post_handle->update_font_control($ctrl_name, $ctrl_name, $ctrl_selectors, '', false);

What I see until now is:

– Controls are custom post types
– These custom post types contents are json econded options with main key being the control-id.

So to programatically add the options for my custom controls should I just create a raw json array with the control-Id obtained after creation of the egf_control and then add that as post content?

$ctrl_id = get_post_meta($post_id, 'control-id');
// create json econded settings and  set the custom post content to my json ecoded settings
// eg: 
{
    "tt_font_theme_options[$ctrl_id]": {
        "value": {
            "text_transform": "lowercase",
            "font_id": "abhaya_libre",
            ...
            // update post content with above contents

Or is there some helper function that I can use to set a specific value like the text-transform for my control?

I’m asking because I’ve tried to edit the post content with phpmyadmi, changed a setting like “text_transform” from “lowercase” to “uppercase” and I’m not seeing it getting updated in the customizer.
