Meta _links do not appear post-beta13

[duncanjbrown]

This PR WP-API/WP-API@32e1940 removed meta links from Post controller responses in the WP-API plugin. This plugin doesn’t add them back in, though, so they're gone everywhere. I looked for a filter to remedy this, but couldn’t find one. Happy to implement any suggestions in a PR 😄

In case anyone else is having this problem, here's some code to restore the meta links for posts.

Note that the namespace is hardcoded because we're no longer in the context of REST_Posts_Controller, so can't read its properties.

add_action( 'rest_api_init', function() {
    $post_types = get_post_types( array( 'public' => true ), 'names' );

    foreach( $post_types as $post_type ) {
        if ( post_type_supports( $post_type, 'custom-fields' ) ) {
            add_filter( "rest_prepare_${post_type}", 'prepare_meta_link_for_post_type' , 10, 3);
        }
    }

    function prepare_meta_link_for_post_type( $response, $post, $request ) {
        $post_type = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type );
        $rest_base = ! empty( $post_type->rest_base ) ? $post_type->rest_base : $post_type->name;
        $base = sprintf( '/wp/v2/%s/', $rest_base );
        $response->add_link(
            'https://api.w.org/meta',
            rest_url( $base . $post->ID . '/meta' ),
            array( 'embeddable' => true )
        );
        return $response;
    }
});
