###Note For a full tutorial on how to use these files, I've added created a detailed guide.
###Overview
The files in this repository can be used to display posts using the WP REST API from a WordPress site on an external site. You can see a minimalist demo on this approach on my site.
###What It Does
- Gets a thumbnail of the featured media associated with the post (if present)
- Gets the post title
- Adds link to the post title that takes user to post on WP site
- Gets the creation date of the post
- Gets the post excerpt
- Lists most recent 2 posts
- Has Show More button that allows user to click and see next 2 posts and so forth
###How to Use It
- Activate the WP REST API v2 plugin on the WP site
- Download or clone this repository
- Open script.js in your favorite editor
- On line 2, copy and paste the domain for the WP site you want to get posts from and add "/forms/wp-json/wp/v2" to the path like this
var endpoint = "https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2",- Upload the three Javascript files to your external site
- Copy the relevant HTML and paste it into your template page(s)
- Add styles and reorganize as needed
###Tips
- To change the number of posts that display, open script.js and change the value on line 3. For example, this shows 2 posts:
itemsPerPage = 2,- Delete this line to remove the loading message
<div class="loading" v-show="loading">loading...</div>
