Extends WordPress WP API with menu routes.

Menu routes for WordPress JSON REST API

, _(*1)

WordPress plugin that extends the JSON REST WP API with new routes pointing to WordPress registered menus. Read the WP API documentation., _(*2)

, _(*3)

New routes available:

• /menus list of every registered menu.
• /menus/<id> data for a specific menu.
• /menu-locations list of all registered theme locations.
• /menu-locations/<location> data for menu in specified menu in theme location.

Currently, the menu-locations/<location> route for individual menus will return a tree with full menu hierarchy, with correct menu item order and listing children for each menu item. The menus/<id> route will output menu details and a flat array of menu items. Item order or if each item has a parent will be indicated in each item attributes, but this route won't output items as a tree., _(*4)

You can alter the V1 data arrangement of each individual menu items and children using the filter hook json_menus_format_menu_item., _(*5)

WP API V2

In V1 of the REST API the routes are located by default at wp-json/menus/ etc., _(*6)

In V2 the routes by default are at wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/ (e.g. wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/menus/, etc.) since V2 encourages prefixing and version namespacing., _(*7)

You can alter the V2 data arrangement of the REST response using the filter hooks 1. rest_menus_format_menus to alter the list of menu items returned (e.g from wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/menus/) 2. rest_menus_format_menu to alter a single menu returned (e.g wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/menus/<id>) 3. rest_menus_format_menu_item to alter the menu items returned (e.g wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/menus/<id> items property), _(*8)
