Description

When calling WP_User_Query it is by default not returning the meta values since it isn't creating a WP_User object. I was wondering if it should be able to return those values.

Currently this from the code that got added in #18428

If you call fields => all_with_meta, you'll get user objects back.

Do we need all_with_meta now that WP_User loads meta on demand? We could always return WP_User objects from WP_User_Query and avoid the unconditional update_meta_cache() call in cache_users(). That leaves deciding whether to slurp * from the users table like 'all' does or slurp the IDs and then pass to cache_users() to query for users not already cached (with update_meta_cache() removed) like all_with_meta does.

#5 follow-up: @ryan

Perhaps: Make all_with_meta a synonym for all. Always do the split style query for all. Introduce some cache control flags similar to cache_results and update_post_meta_cache used in WP_Query. Always return WP_User objects.

Replying to ryan:

Works for me.

+1 for always returning WP_User objects. Also:

if ( 'all_with_meta' == $q['fields'] ) {
  $q['fields'] = 'all';
  $q['cache_results'] = true;
}
