Laravel WordPress

WordPress REST API integration for Laravel. A thin wrapper around the WordPress REST API covering posts, pages, media, categories, tags, comments and users, built on Laravel's HTTP client.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require jeffersongoncalves/laravel-wordpress

Publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-wordpress-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'base_url' => env('WORDPRESS_BASE_URL'),
    'username' => env('WORDPRESS_USERNAME'),
    'application_password' => env('WORDPRESS_APPLICATION_PASSWORD'),
    'namespace' => env('WORDPRESS_NAMESPACE', 'wp-json/wp/v2'),
];

Generate an Application Password in WordPress under Users > Your Profile > Application Passwords, then add your credentials to .env:

WORDPRESS_BASE_URL=https://example.com
WORDPRESS_USERNAME=your-wordpress-username
WORDPRESS_APPLICATION_PASSWORD=xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

Requests are authenticated with HTTP Basic (Authorization: Basic base64(username:application_password)), so the site must be served over HTTPS.

Usage

You can use the Wordpress facade, or inject Jeffersongoncalves\Wordpress\Wordpress wherever you need it.

Posts

use Jeffersongoncalves\Wordpress\Facades\Wordpress;

Wordpress::listPosts(['per_page' => 10, 'status' => 'publish']);
Wordpress::getPost(123);

Wordpress::createPost([
    'title' => 'Post Title',
    'content' => '<p>Post content here</p>',
    'status' => 'draft',
    'categories' => [1],
    'tags' => [5, 6],
]);

Wordpress::updatePost(123, ['title' => 'Updated Title', 'status' => 'publish']);

Wordpress::deletePost(123);              // moves to trash
Wordpress::deletePost(123, force: true); // deletes permanently

Post statuses: publish, draft, pending, private, future, trash.

Pages

Wordpress::listPages(['per_page' => 20]);
Wordpress::getPage(9);
Wordpress::createPage(['title' => 'About', 'content' => '<p>Hello</p>', 'status' => 'publish']);
Wordpress::updatePage(9, ['title' => 'About us']);
Wordpress::deletePage(9);

Media

Wordpress::listMedia(['per_page' => 20]);
Wordpress::getMedia(42);

Wordpress::uploadMedia(
    filename: 'image.jpg',
    contents: file_get_contents('/path/to/image.jpg'),
    mimeType: 'image/jpeg',
    attributes: ['post' => 123],
);

Wordpress::updateMedia(42, ['alt_text' => 'A description']);
Wordpress::deleteMedia(42);

Categories and tags

Wordpress::listCategories();
Wordpress::getCategory(1);
Wordpress::createCategory('Category Name', 'category-name');
Wordpress::updateCategory(1, ['description' => 'Updated']);
Wordpress::deleteCategory(1);

Wordpress::listTags();
Wordpress::getTag(5);
Wordpress::createTag('Tag Name', 'tag-name');
Wordpress::updateTag(5, ['description' => 'Updated']);
Wordpress::deleteTag(5);

Comments

Wordpress::listComments(['post' => 123]);
Wordpress::getComment(7);
Wordpress::createComment(['post' => 123, 'content' => 'Nice post']);
Wordpress::updateComment(7, ['status' => 'approved']);
Wordpress::deleteComment(7);

Users

Wordpress::listUsers(['per_page' => 10]);
Wordpress::getUser(1);
Wordpress::currentUser();

Every method returns an Illuminate\Http\Client\Response, so you can use ->json(), ->successful(), ->status(), etc. as usual. $filters and $attributes arrays are passed straight through to the REST API, so any parameter documented by WordPress is supported.
