Custom routes POST Request

[apvlv]

Hi,

i've set up a custom route for creating new menu items via the WP REST API. In Postman it works flawlessly but i can't get it to work with this package. The question is how i make a POST request with a custom route? Here is my code so far:

let wp = new WPAPI({
          endpoint: 'http://xxxxxx',
          username: 'xxxxx',
          password: 'xxxxx'
      });
      wp.menuAPI = wp.registerRoute( 'wp-api-menus/v2', '/create-item/id=(?P<id>)');

      wp.menuAPI().id(4).then(function( response ) {
          console.log( response );
      });

This makes a GET request, I need POST instead...

Thank you!

@pvlvsk Thanks for using node-wpapi! All the same rules about creating records apply to custom endpoints as do to the built-in collections; one of those rules is that .then is an alias for .get().then unless another promise-returning request method is called. (those request methods are .get(), .create(), .update() and .delete())

In this case, I suspect that

wp.menuAPI().id(4).create({
  data: 'for',
  your: 'POST request'
}).then(function( response ) {

will get you what you want; if you're looking to update the record at ID 4, you'd use .update instead of .create.

Let me know if that resolves the problem, and if it does, I'd welcome input on how to improve the documentation here
