I'm using save_post_{post_type}
hook to generate a JSON file with all the content of a custom post type.
add_action('save_post_book', 'updateBooks');
function updateBooks(){
$url = site_url().'/wp-json/wp/v2/books?_embed=true/';
$params = array( 'timeout' => 30, 'sslverify' => false );
$response = wp_remote_get( $url, $params );
$body = wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response );
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
file_put_contents($path.'/books.json', $body);
}
The problem is with ACF custom fields. I believe the hook runs before post meta updates. So the new values from the ACF fields are not sent to the JSON files.
Solution
add_action('acf/save_post', 'updateJson', 20);
function updateJson($post_id){
$post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
$url = site_url().'/wp-json/wp/v2/'.$post_type.'?_embed=true/';
$params = array( 'timeout' => 30, 'sslverify' => false );
$response = wp_remote_get( $url, $params );
$body = wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response );
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
file_put_contents($path.'/'.$post_type.'.json', $body);
}
