WP-Test

Consuming external API using wordpress

Setup notes

1. Copy the MenuTest.php under wordpress plugin directory and activate the plugin

2. Create a fake api using REST API with JSON Server (https://github.com/typicode/json-server).

file name db.json

{ "categories": [ { "id": 1000, "name": "State", "parent_id": null }, { "id": 1001, "name": "NSW", "parent_id": 1000 }, { "id": 1002, "name": "VIC", "parent_id": 1000 }, { "id": 1003, "name": "QLD", "parent_id": 1000 }, { "id": 1004, "name": "WA", "parent_id": 1000 }, { "id": 1005, "name": "ACT", "parent_id": 1000 }, { "id": 1006, "name": "National", "parent_id": null }, { "id": 1007, "name": "World", "parent_id": null } ] }

My thoughts

I am not a PHP developer.

This is the first time I did something like this on WordPress.

I really enjoyed developing it and it was really fun learning this aspect of WordPress.

Since its a plugin you can enable and disable this feature
