/**
* WP-AppKit has no webservice dedicated to data update yet (this is one of the things on our roadmap).
* For now a workaround is to used the "liveQuery" webservice that was designed to retrieve custom
* content from server but can also work to update data.
*
* The example here shows how to use liveQuery to send data from the app to the server
* and handle this data on server side.
*
* The App.liveQuery() webservice used here is pretty convenient to handle any custom request from app to server.
* We haven't found time to write doc about it yet but we have hope it will come soon ;)
/**
* WP-AppKit has no webservice dedicated to data update yet (this is one of the things on our roadmap).
* The now native WP Rest API can be used to achieve that by implementing your own ajax calls to the Rest API
* that you would call manually from your WP-AppKit app.
* But if you want to stay within WP-AppKit possibilities, you can use the WP-AppKit's "liveQuery" web service
* which is designed to retrieve custom content from server but can also work to update data.
*
* The example here shows how to update a post meta from the app, but it can be transposed to update any WordPress data.
* Note: Sent data is not secured here. If you're on https, it's ok. If not, just be aware that the data sent is not encrypted,
* just like when you submit a form on a non https website.

Modify the default number of posts displayed in a list

function wpak_set_nb_posts( $nb_items, $component ) {

}
return $nb_items;
//In your theme's php folder for example:

uncatcrea / WP-AppKit : custom template for a given component
Last active October 14, 2015 19:45
This example shows how to use a custom template ("my-component-template.html") for a given component ("my-component-slug") and how to retrieve component's data from template
//In theme's functions.js
/**
Use a custom 'my-component-template.html' template only for the
'my-component-slug' component :
*/
App.filter( 'template', function( template, current_screen ) {
if ( current_screen.component_id == 'my-component-slug' ) {
template = 'my-component-template'; //Don't need .html here.
<?php
// Write the following in a WP plugin of yours
// or in the php directory of your WP-AppKit theme.
/**
* For this example we use the "wpak_posts_list_query_args" hook
* to customize the query to sort the posts of our
* "my-component-slug" component by alphabetical order.
*
* Internally the component's query is a WP_Query object: see

uncatcrea / WP-AppKit : Use the 'template' filter
Last active October 14, 2015 19:45
Shows how to use the 'template' filter to use a custom template for a given app screen
/**
Use a custom 'archive-my-category.html' template only for the
'my-category' category post list :
*/
App.filter( 'template', function( template, current_screen ) {
if ( TemplateTags.isCategory( 'my-category', current_screen ) ) {
template = 'archive-my-category'; //Don't need .html here.
}
return template;
} );
//In app's theme (functions.js)
/**
The following allows to create a custom screen on app side only
(meaning it does not correspond to an existing WordPress page or post).
In this example, the page is accessed at the "url" #my-page-route and
uses the template 'my-page-template' to render. Last arguments allows to pass
custom data to the template.
*/
App.addCustomRoute( 'my-page-route', 'my-page-template', { some_data : 'for the template' } );

uncatcrea / Add post terms with wpak_post_data hook
Last active August 29, 2015 14:22
By default WP-AppKit doesn't get post terms to keep web service responses light. But thanks to the wpak_post_data, you can customize the returned data.
/*
* Applies to: since WP-AppKit 0.1
* Goal: Use wpak_post_data to add post terms to the web service response and display them in app
You may want to look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_post_terms
* Usage: WordPress: in the app's theme PHP folder or a separate plugin.
* App: single.html or archive.html
*/
add_filter( 'wpak_post_data', 'add_terms_to_my_app_posts', 10, 3 );
function add_terms_to_my_app_posts ( $post_data, $post, $component ) {
