Include the V2 of the BP REST API in BuddyPress core.
We are officially deprecating the V1 of the BP REST API. And bundling the new, default, V2 of the BP REST API inside BuddyPress core. Previously, the V1 was developed as a plugin in a separate repo (https://github.com/buddypress/BP-REST).
- One of the main differences between the V1 and V2 is how objects are returned. Single items are no longer returned as an
array
;
- We have a new
BP_Test_REST_Controller_Testcase
for testing the new API endpoints;
- We changed the names of our controllers to follow our autoloader rules;
- Removed the BP-REST plugin from
wp-env
and from our release script;
- And we added notices for the deprecated V1 API (endpoints and files).
Props imath & I. ;)
