Meta data helper for wp-graphql

WP GraphQL Meta

This plugin is an add-on for the awesome WP GraphQL, _(*1)

It builds on top of both WP GraphQL and the REST API. Any meta data you register using register_meta() will be available to retrieve in your results. You get your data in the REST API and GraphQL at the same time., _(*2)

Installing

1. Make sure that WP GraphQL is installed and activated first.
2. Upload this repo (or git clone) to your plugins folder and activate it.

Usage

Your theme or other plugins may use meta data to add custom functionality. That data or functionality can be beneficial / required for a front end or other app that consumes your API., _(*3)

register_meta( 'post', 'custom-key', array(
    'type' => 'string', // number, boolean, integer or a type from WPGraphQL\Types
    'description' => 'My custom field',
    'single' => true,   // Whether to make this require a list or not.
    'show_in_rest' => true, // Required to make this field public.
) );

NOTE: If you use WPGraphQL\Types instance the built in REST API will ignore the field., _(*4)
