Help with WP-API. JSON API for WordPress [PHP]

Jonchun

I've spent about an hour going through the WP-API docs and I can't make heads or tails of this stuff. Instead of spending more time struggling, I figured since it's not urgent I can just wait and see if someone else who already has experience with this can just spoonfeed me in the right direction.

http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/modifying/

I'm trying to use the following snippet I found on Github.

Where would I even put this? I have no idea how the filters work and the documentation is jsut terrible. Granted, the plugin itself is amazing and provides an out-of-the-box json api for WP that I enjoy using, but trying to extend it has me puzzled. Am I supposed to be making my own plugin? How do I extend this?

If anyone has insight, that would be perfect (I also haven't had sleep for about 25 hours and I'm writing this as I go to sleep... so I might just be missing something really really obvious)

thanks all!

This is NOT a test. I repeat: This is NOT a test. The cake is real.

You can place that code in one of the following places:

• Create a directory named mu-plugins inside wp-content and place the snippet in a file.
• Create a file inside wp-content/plugins with this header and place the snippet.
• Place it in the functions.php file of your current theme/child theme.

With the first option, the code will always be active, with the second and third options it'll be active if the plugin or theme is active.

Thanks. This is what I needed. Will give it a shot later.

Edit: I haven't quite had a chance to try this yet, but I'm really confused at how this would work.

add_filter( 'json_prepare_post', 'get_pagination_in_json', 10, 3 );

any ideas what the "10" and "3" mean? I see the numbers in like all the examples but I have no idea how that works.

10 is the priority of the filter/action(lower executed first higher executed later) and 3 is the number of args required for the function being passsed

I will send you a pm if i figure it out :-)
