@wordpress/api-request

@wordpress/api-request

Wrapper around jQuery.ajax to call WordPress REST APIs.

Installation

Install the module

npm install @wordpress/api-request --save

Usage

import apiRequest from '@wordpress/api-request';

apiRequest( { path: '/wp/v2/posts' } ).then( posts => {
	console.log( posts );
} );

Middlewares

the api-request package supports middlewares. Middlewares are functions you can use to wrap the wp.apiRequest calls to perform any pre/post process to the API requests.

Example

wp.apiRequest.use( ( options, next ) => {
	const start = Date.now();
	const result = next( options );
	result.then( () => {
		console.log( 'The request took ' + Date.now() - start );
	} );
	return result;
} );

The apiRequest package provides built-in middlewares you can use to provide a nonce and a custom rootURL.
