JSON API WordPress Client
=========================

[](#json-api-wordpress-client)

This library is an opinionated, resource-based JSON API client for WordPress that strives to adhere to the offical [JSON API 1.0 spec](http://jsonapi.org).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- WordPress

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Define a resource

[](#define-a-resource)

- `base_url` is specified as the root URL used when interacting with the API.
- `type` is the [JSON API type](http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-objects) for the current resource

```
class Invoice extends Json_Api_Wp_Resource
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct(
            "https://api.site.com/v1/", // base URL
            "invoices" // type
        )
    }
}
```

### Set up HTTP Authentication

[](#set-up-http-authentication)

The `username` is required, but the `password` is optional and defaults to blank.

```
Json_Api_Wp_Resource::auth( "jdoe", "secret" );
```

#### API Key example

[](#api-key-example)

If you're using a typical API key over HTTP Authentication, here is an example of using a base class to abstract that away.

```
class Base extends Json_Api_Wp_Resource
{
    public function __construct( $type )
    {
        parent::__construct( "http://api.site.come/v1/", $type );
    }

    public static function set_api_key( $api_key )
    {
        parent::auth( $apiKey );
    }
}

class Invoice extends Base
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct( "invoices" );
    }
}

Base::set_api_key( "some secret key" );
$invoices = Invoice::get_all();
```

### Create a resource

[](#create-a-resource)

```
$invoice = Invoice::create([
    "description" => "T-Shirt",
    "total" => 10.95
]);
```

### Update a resource

[](#update-a-resource)

This library does not yet support updating of resources because of the lack of `PATCH` support in the WordPress HTTP library.

### Get a single resource

[](#get-a-single-resource)

```
$invoice = Invoice::get_one( "invoice_123" );
```

### Get all resources

[](#get-all-resources)

```
$invoices = Invoice::get_all();
```

### Delete a resource

[](#delete-a-resource)

This library does not yet support updating of resources because of the lack of `DELETE` support in the WordPress HTTP library.
