This package is depreciated. LEAN now uses the WordPress REST API plugins instead

After that you can include the autoload.php file in order to
be able to autoload the class during the object creation.

## Filters
There are filters that can be used on this particular endpoint.
`ln_endpoints_collection_args`. This filter allow you to overwrite the
default arguments used to query inside of the collection so you can
overwrite the default values used on the `WP_Query` before executed.
`ln_endpoints_collection_data`. This filter allow you to overwrite the
data after processing and before is sending it to the client it has 1
parameter that can be used on the filter:
- `$data` The original data created by the endpoint, this is an array
with all the data, for example if you want to return an empty array
if the data has zero items.
- `$request` An array with the arguments used to create the request.
```php
add_filter('ln_endpoints_collection_data', function( $data ){
if ( isset( $data['pagination']['items'] ) && $data['pagination']['items'] === 0 ) {
return [];
} else {
return $data;
}
});
```
`ln_endpoints_collection_item`. Allows you to easily customise the output of each post:
```php
add_filter( 'ln_endpoints_collection_item', function($item, $the_post) {
if ( $the_post->ID === 1 ) {
return [
'message' => 'Nothing here',
];
} else {
return $item;
}
}, 10, 2);;
