Changelog

2.0.0

Added

• Hot Module Replacement inside WordPress with npm run dev. No proxy URL to configure, just open your WordPress site.
• One-line REST API routes in PHP: vue_theme_api_get(), vue_theme_api_post(), vue_theme_api_put(), vue_theme_api_delete().
• api and wp clients and the useApi() / useWp() composables for calling the REST API from Vue.
• Blog page with pagination, and a catch-all view that renders WordPress pages and posts or a "Page not found" message.
• Primary and Footer menu locations, rendered in Vue with router links.
• window.wpVueTheme config passed from PHP (REST URL, nonce, site info, menus), extendable with the vue_theme_app_config filter.
• Site store (useSiteStore) with the site title, tagline, logo and menus.
• sanitizeHtml() helper for v-html and Vue Router navigation for internal links inside post content.
• Admin notice when the theme has not been built yet.
• vue-theme/v1/site and vue-theme/v1/menus/{location} endpoints.

Fixed

• WordPress installed in a subdirectory (e.g. http://localhost/mysite) now works.
• Images and lazy-loaded routes now load correctly in production (assets are loaded as ES modules through the Vite manifest).
• WordPress no longer redirects unknown Vue routes to a similar looking post.
• PHP warning in the logo endpoint when the logo attachment is missing.
• .wp-block-heading styles were never applied because of wrong selectors.
• Stores in src/stores/wp were not auto-imported.
• Global styles from the demo component changed the layout of the whole site.

Changed

• npm run start now starts the Vite dev server (same as npm run dev). npm run watch rebuilds on change.
• The build entry is src/main.js. index.html and the public folder are gone, put static files in src/assets.
• The sample custom post type is now available in the REST API.
• Updated dependencies, npm audit reports 0 vulnerabilities.

Breaking changes

• BrowserSync is removed (browsersync.config.js, npm run browsersync, the snippet in footer.php).
• PHP functions are prefixed with vue_theme_: get_site_title(), rest_get_custom_logo(), load_vite_assets(), load_custom_theme_settings(), load_custom_scripts() and init_custom_post_types() were renamed.
• Script and style handles changed from theme-js / theme-css to vue-theme-app / vue-theme-app-{n}.
• settings.API_BASE_PATH is replaced by the api / wp clients in src/api/index.js.
• usePosts(), useGetLogo() and useGetSiteTitle() are replaced by getPosts(), useWp('posts') and useSiteStore().
• The posts store no longer has post, counter and increment().
• HelloWorld.vue is removed.
• Node.js 20 or newer is required.

The old wp/v2/site-title and wp/v2/logo endpoints still work but are deprecated.

What's Changed

• chore: remove extra space on Author URI by @chrischase011 in #1
