Wpct Http bridge

What's this pluggin for?

This plugin connects WordPress with backends in a bidirectional way. The idea behind the plugin is to allow CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) operations between the two realms.

How does it work?

The plugin implements GET, POST, PUT & DELETE http methods on php to perform requests from WP to any backend. The connection headers are populated with two fields:

  1. API-TOKEN: <backend-instance-token>
  2. Accept-Language: <wp-current-locale>

With this two headers, WP can consume the backend's APIs with localization. The <backend-instance-token> is defined on the settings/wpct-http-bridge as an input field. The <wp-current-locale> value is recovered from the Wpct String Translation plugin.

The plugin expose the hook 'wpct_http_headers' as a filter to modify the headers array before send the request.

On the other hand, the plugins has JWT Authentication for WP REST API plugin as a depedency. On top of this plugin, implements JWT authentication over the WordPress Rest API that allow Odoo to perform CRUD operations against WP.

JWT Authentication extends the WP user system. This means that the backend should know some login credentials to generate access tokens. On install, the plugin will create a new WP User with login wpct_http_user and password wpct_http_user. Pleas, remember to change this user password and email to prevent security breaches.

Wordpress REST API

The WordPress REST API provides an interface for applications to interact with your WordPress site by sending and receiving data as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) objects. IN other words, the REST API allow the same actions user's can perform from worpress administartion page, but automatized. For more information about Wordpress REST API see the official documentation.

Wordpress REST API Authentication dependecies

To support api token based authentication on WordPress, this plugins has JWT Authentication for WP REST API plugin as dependency. JWT Authentication must be installed along with the plugin. This plugin extens the WP REST API using JSON Web Tokens Authentication as an authentication method.

Environment variables

The plugin supports enviroment variable usage as configuration. There are two env variables:

  • WPCT_HTTP_AUTH_SECRET: A character string to sign the jwt tokens. Default value is '123456789'.
