April 21, 2021 — Using the WP REST API for pages and forms
This workshop is aimed to demystify the WordPress REST API and enable you to create pages and forms that do not need to be refreshed.
Furthermore, by being comfortable with the WP REST API, you will be able to import and export data not just with other WP sites but also any site or framework.
Extraordinarily little JavaScript is needed in this workshop and the concepts of Fetch requests and JSON data will be explained.
With code files, easy WP site clone, manual and follow-up videos, we will build a site with AJAX pages and forms including the use of WP Nonce for security.
Finally, we will take a quick look at how by using the combination of Custom HTML tags and WP REST API, we can create HTML plugins for any site or framework that uses just two lines of HTML!
