Description (last modified by )
Current the REST API for themes is extremely limited. It only allows for listing themes and getting the current theme. However, there are lots theme related functions that are not possible to access via this api. This includes ( but it not limited to )
- Installing new themes
- Network activating theme ( multisite only )
- Network deactivating theme ( multisite only )
- Active ( switch to theme )
- Deleting theme
Any themes api should allow the patterns / structure of the plugins REST API, in it's params and responses.
It is also worth noting, that have a multisite element, as themes can be network activated / deactivated.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
For some extra context, this ticket was created because of this make blog post.
If the plan is to move to a react / gutenberg component based UI for themes, then then core will need this functionality in the theme REST API.
