WordPress REST API is a huge step forward for frontend developers looking to combine the power of JavaScript frameworks like React (or Vue.js) with WordPress.
This is exactly what we did with this demo of the WordPress REST API in the work.
We use WordPress as a backend, and the REST API to feed data into a React app.
More precisely, you’ll learn:
- How to access the WP REST API from your frontend
- How to add a custom post type and expose it to the API
- How to handle React Hooks (and create a custom one)
- How to build a React app backed by this API
