The goal of this project is two-fold:
- To teach myself the basics of Angular.js
- To provide a simple, responsive single-page WordPress theme
The end-goal for the project is to create a single-page simple blog theme for WordPress. All navigation will be handled without leaving index.php:
- Loading a page will pull up the page content via an asynchronous request for a JSON file
- Posts listed in "the loop" are loaded through an asychronous JSON request - infinite scolling through all posts is the goal
- The user is provided a seemless experience without having to deal with pesky page refreshes
- Posts & pages are loaded in index.php through the JSON API
- Dated archives are loaded in index.php through the JSON API
- Dated Archives can be listed in the widget areas using the budled Angular.js Archive widget
- Add "active" class to pages in navigation
- Modify other default widgets so they are compatible with Angular.js
- Clean up unused files (theme cloned from _S)
Much needs to be modularized/cleaned up, but as is:
- TGM_Plugin_Activation Class is instatiated in functions.php (http://tgmpluginactivation.com/)
- TGM_Plugin_Activation Class requires users to install the JSON REST API (WP API) Plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/) on theme activation. This plugin may be included in a future version of WordPress Core, and this step could be removed from future versions of the theme.
- Angular.js and Angular-related JS files are enqueued
- index.php lists posts by making calls to the JSON REST API via Angular.js
