API Client

[psrpinto]

This PR makes it possible to make requests to the WP REST API through an ApiClient object, that is available on every screen, through the session context:

const { session, apiClient } = useSessionContext();

const posts = await apiClient.getPosts();

Screen capture

In the screen capture below, "Hello world!" is the title of the post, which has been fetched from the REST API.

Nice! I tried it and it works like in the screen recording. Two thoughts:

• That you're querying the REST API of Playground is just a proof of concept, right? We'd usually POST there.
• I am curious why the post "Hello World" exists given that we have a step to delete all posts. Is it not executed?

I am curious why the post "Hello World" exists given that we have a step to delete all posts. Is it not executed?

That step got lost when I moved the previous code to the poc/ directory (the file you link is in that directory). I will bring that step back in this PR.

Yep, correct, the getPosts() was just a proof of concept, we probably won't be calling it.

Oh, I missed that this was in the poc directory. We should delete it and rather create a poc tag back in history.

I will merge this as is, and I will delete the poc/ directory, and bring back the steps to delete posts in another PR.
