WordPress Post Preview
luisherranz opened this issue · comments
Hey guys, we've added support for the ?preview=true query! 🎉
This is related to the source auth option in the https://github.com/frontity/docs/issues/228 issue, so maybe it'd be a good idea to do it together.
That issue explains that now you can add a header to authenticate against the REST API.
This PR adds support for the ?preview=true query in the post type handlers that ship with wp-source. If they find the query, they use state.source.auth to authenticate and retrieve the last revision of a post. That way, when the user clicks on the preview button, the content that is shown is the content of the preview, like in WordPress.
We added a feature to the Embedded mode PoC to send a JWT in the ?frontity_source_auth query that ends up in state.source.auth, but that's not the only way to authenticate against the REST API to make the preview work. As long as you populate the state.source.auth with a valid Authorization header it will use that and it should work.
For example, it could work with these plugins:
So I guess we should investigate other methods to make this work, apart from the Embedded mode PoC plugin.
@luisherranz We are going to document the embedded mode architecture here and also document the the plugin here, and we'll treat this issue as part of that documentation.
Great idea 🙂
@SantosGuillamot maybe we should have a chat and decide what we are going to do with the Embedded mode plugin?

Do you mean in terms of documentation? We can have a chat if you feel it will be useful 🙂 Just so you know, we have just merged a Pull Request to add a really simple interface to enter Frontity URL and we're planning to finish the opened issues for the moment. Once that is done, I could submit an initial version to the WordPress plugins repository.
Oh, that's fine then 🙂
