Usage Examples

Basic Route Example

In your app/config/routes.php file:

    Flight::json(['message' => 'Hello World!']);
});

Controller Example

Create a controller in app/controllers/ApiController.php:

namespace app\controllers;

use Flight;

class ApiController {
    public function getUsers() {
        // You can use WordPress functions inside Flight!
        $users = get_users();
        $result = [];
        foreach($users as $user) {
            $result[] = [
                'id' => $user->ID,
                'name' => $user->display_name,
                'email' => $user->user_email
            ];
        }
        Flight::json($result);
    }
}

Then, in your routes.php:

Flight::route('GET /api/users', [app\controllers\ApiController::class, 'getUsers']);
