Gravity Forms Request

Utility to make WordPress REST API requests. It's a wrapper around window.fetch

Installation

Install the module

npm install @gravityforms/request

Note: This package requires node 14.15.0 or later, and npm 6.14.8 or later. If needing support for IE11 make sure to include the fetch polyfill for that browser.

Overview

The request module abstracts away most of the pain of dealing with raw fetch.

Basic principles:

• When a base_path needs variables in it, use the template function as seen in path map and pass those as "restParams" in your options
• When you need query args appended for a get, pass them as "params" in your options object
• When you want to POST set method: 'POST' and if passing json body set json: { data } in your options

Usage

Required in gravityforms.config.js in your project root:

module.exports = {
	requestConfig: {
		endpoints: {
			get_something: {
				path       : '/wp-json/gf/v2/get_something',
				rest_params: '',
				nonce      : null,
			},
		},
	}
	// other configs
}

Using the module:

import request from '@gravityforms/request';

const getSomething = async ( id ) => {
	const other_stuff = getSomeStuff( id );
	const response = await request( 'get_something', {
		method: 'POST',
		body: {
			some_data: { stuff: 'here', },
			other_stuff,
		},
	} );

	console.log( response.data );
};
