WP GraphQL Meta
===============

[](#wp-graphql-meta)

This plugin is an add-on for the awesome [WP GraphQL](https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql)

It builds on top of both WP GraphQL and the REST API. Any meta data you register using `register_meta()` will be available to retrieve in your results. You get your data in the REST API and GraphQL at the same time.

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

1. Make sure that [WP GraphQL](https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql) is installed and activated first.
2. Upload this repo (or git clone) to your plugins folder and activate it.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Your theme or other plugins may use meta data to add custom functionality. That data or functionality can be beneficial / required for a front end or other app that consumes your API.

```
register_meta( 'post', 'custom-key', array(
    'type' => 'string', // number, boolean, integer or a type from WPGraphQL\Types
    'description' => 'My custom field',
    'single' => true,   // Whether to make this require a list or not.
    'show_in_rest' => true, // Required to make this field public.
) );
```

NOTE: If you use `WPGraphQL\Types` instance the built in REST API will ignore the field.
