Instead of making the whole REST API, perhaps we could consider using something like Meteor (or at least offer ways to skip the API altogether in favor of some other mechanism.)
- xj9 11y agoCouldn't you build something like that on top of the REST API?
- mizzao 11y agoYou should check out how Meteor (https://www.meteor.com/ https://www.meteor.com/) works. It makes REST pretty much unnecessary.
- detaro 11y agoBut then you don't have a nice REST API to integrate with different things anymore (authoring tools. exporting tools. frontends for devices that don't like meteor. ...) IMHO tying itself to a single front-end technology would be the totally wrong thing to do.
- jorjordandan 11y agoMeteor is not tied to any single front end technology, nor is it a front end technology. It has an optional templating system, but lots of people are using react now instead. I love meteor, but using meteor with wordpress sounds like a nightmare. I think it was probably suggested more as an alternative.
- detaro 11y agoOk, then I got that wrong. Meteor apps always seemed incredibly coupled and integrated to me, so I assumed it was one "package".
- coldtea 11y agoThe things people want to us WP for are totally unrelated to the things Meteor is good at.
- rmccue 11y ago> Instead of making the whole REST API Luckily, we've already made it. :)
- joeyspn 11y agoI think you meant implementing Meteor's DDP protocol and not the whole Meteor? https://www.meteor.com/ddp https://www.meteor.com/ddp
