WP API Menus

This plugin extends the WordPress JSON REST API with new routes for WordPress registered menus The new routes available will be:

• /menus list of every registered menu.
• /menus/<id> data for a specific menu.
• /menu-locations list of all registered theme locations.
• /menu-locations/<location> data for menu in specified menu in theme location.

Currently, the menu-locations/<location> route for individual menus will return a tree with full menu hierarchy, with correct menu item order and listing children for each menu item. The menus/<id> route will output menu details and a flat array of menu items. Item order or if each item has a parent will be indicated in each item attributes, but this route won't output items as a tree. You can alter the data arrangement of each individual menu items and children using the filter hook json_menus_format_menu_item. An important note on WP API V2: In V1 the routes are located by default at wp-json/menus/ etc. In V2 the routes by default are at wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/ (e.g. wp-json/wp-api-menus/v2/menus/, etc.) since V2 encourages prefixing and version namespacing.

This plugin requires having WP API installed and activated or it won't be of any use. Install the plugin as you would with any WordPress plugin in your wp-content/plugins/ directory or equivalent. Once installed, activate WP API Menus from WordPress plugins dashboard page and you're ready to go, WP API will respond to new routes and endpoints to your registered menus.
