A getting starting guide to working the WordPress API

A little JavaScript app put together for the WPChelt Meetup to show how you can intereact with the WordPress API. Note: This is a proof of concept and should not to be used in the wild and is 'rough around the edges'!

• I'm using Gulp to compile the JavaScript and SASS to CSS.
• It uses Vue.
• You'll need a WordPress install to interact with and amend the end point URL accordingly.

You'll need to install this plugin on your WordPress install. https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth

Then send a base 64 encoded version of your username:password along within the Authorization header. https://www.base64encode.org/

headers: { 'Authorization': 'Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=' }
