How to convert WordPress plugins to use WP REST API

Question

I've been reading about WP API and I love the idea however is it far enough along to use? For instance I want to build a custom react front end but use the WP API. My concern is that I won't have access to certain plugin information. Is it possible to hook in and create a custom end point for plugins that do not support WP API?

Answer 1

That is indeed possible. You can for example add values to the response , add support for custom post types or add fully custom endpoints .

Please note that v1 will be replaced by v2 of the API. v2 is still a work in progress - has been for a while - and will introduce a lot of breaking changes, so it would be better to use the latest beta version of the API .
