[WIP] Tool with a long name to generate code for accessing your WP REST API endpoints

I don't have an exact timeline on when this will be complete and working. I just poke at it once in a while. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Development

Pull requests welcome. See the purpose and roadmap below if you're interested in contributing!

Getting Started

This project is under initial development and is not intended for use in production yet! Consider contributing to finish things up :)

1. cp .env.example .env
2. Update the values to reflect your own site and intended use
3. node src/index.js
4. Copy wordpress-service.js from the output directory into your project.

Example code

import * as wpApi from './wordpress-service';
const post = wpApi.getPostsById(5).then(({ result: { body } }) => {
  console.log('response', body);
});

Intended purpose and roadmap:

My plan is to have a tool that can do all the dirty work of generating functions to access your site's API for you.

Initial release goals:

• Fetch and parse WP REST API schema into an object with modified params, args, etc. that we can pipe into a code template
• Snapshot test the parser!
• Support for fetch using apicase
• Easily implement your own adapter <-- Implemented with apicase!
• Verify that the generated code actually works ^^;
• Remove generation of PUT, PATCH, DELETE, POST requests they are fully supported.

Future goals?

• Task to transpile TypeScript to JavaScript
• TypeScript code template with type declarations
• Find or create a test adapter with mock data so we can automate testing of the generated code.
• Properly implement non-GET requests
