***** UPDATEDand REVISEDAUGUST2020 *****

Based on feedback from students, this course has been revised and updated with some extra features so that you may quickly and effectively learn and use the REST API.

****************************************************

The WPRESTAPIenables us to access data or post data via AJAX without refershing the page.

In this course, we will dive into the WPRESTAPI endpoints, how to modify them, create our own CUTSOMWPRESTAPIendpoints and use them in our pages and forms.

Packed with full code examples, you will be able to use the template pages straight away in your own site, as you will learn how to customise them for your site

***

In the first section we, will build the final site so that you can have your own working copy.

We then works STEP BYSTEP through each part of the site so that you can UNDERSTAND how the RESTAPI and AJAXwork together.

This is taught in a developer to developer style. I am a developer and also a student learning all the latest technologies and I will treat you like a new developer that has joined our team.

We cover:

• What the RESTAPIis.

• How to use built in WP RESTAPIs (endpoints).

• How to add fields to built in endpoints.

• How to create our own endpoints for GET requests.

• How to create POSTendpoints for forms.

• How to create and use the WP Nonce security token and verify tokens.

• How to us wp_localize_script to be able to pass PHP values to JavaScript code.

Welcome!
