I am trying to add a custom field to my GET response through the WordPress REST API but I can not seem to get the custom field to show up.
Here is my code so far
add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'create_api_posts_meta_field' );
function create_api_posts_meta_field() {
// register_rest_field ( 'name-of-post-type', 'name-of-field-to-return', array-of-callbacks-and-schema() )
register_rest_field( 'post', 'post-meta-fields', array(
'get_callback' => 'get_post_meta_for_api',
'schema' => null,)
);
}
function get_post_meta_for_api( $object ) {
//get the id of the post object array
$post_id = $object['id'];
//return the post meta
return get_post_meta( $post_id,true );
}
I have tried adding this code as a custom plugin and also into my functions.php.
What am I doing wrong here?
