Description

Many developers and top agencies have learned how to use WordPress as a headless CMS, where WordPress stores the content, but Modern JavaScript driven websites and applications display the content and provide customized interactivity.

One of the key components to using WordPress as a Headless CMS involves authenticating to allow full read, write and delete access to everything the WordPress REST API provides.

In this course you will learn the following:

    The different types of authentication available
    How to work with the JWT Authentication Standard
    How to setup WordPress to offer authentication
    How to write secure JavaScript to authenticate
    How to build login and logout forms
    How to add, edit and delete content using authenticated WordPress REST API calls

Throughout the course we will build a custom decoupled project using simple JavaScript, but all of the code can be easily converted over to work with React, Vue, Angular and other JavaScript frameworks.
Who this course is for:

    Theme Developers who want to build decoupled sites powered by WordPress and JavaScript
    Plugin Developers who want to build functionality that works outside of the WordPress admin
    App Developers who want to build JavaScript apps powered by WordPress
    Any Developer looking to use WordPress as a data store
