What problem does it solve?

WordPress developers often struggle to implement and expose the Abilities API in a consistent, re-usable way across PHP back-ends and front-end clients. This skill provides a structured approach to registering categories and abilities, wiring them to the correct lifecycle hooks, and exposing them via REST so that clients can query capability metadata.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Category & Ability Registration: Register categories and abilities in the correct lifecycle hooks to ensure proper initialization.
  • REST Exposure: Mark abilities with meta.show_in_rest and verify endpoints under wp-json/wp-abilities/v1.
  • Client Consumption: Use @wordpress/abilities on the frontend to read and enforce permissions.

Quick Start

Define a new category and an ability in your plugin, then hook them into wp_abilities_api_categories_init and wp_abilities_api_init respectively. Ensure the ability metadata includes meta.show_in_rest and verify the endpoints under wp-json/wp-abilities/v1 return the expected data.
