    Hi,

    Is there an easy way to render custom post type ‘idea’ meta_box number of votes with the REST API ?
    I alreader add this line in the ideapush.php file to be able to see each CPT with the rest API
    'show_in_rest' => true,

    But the data manager here ask me how to access the number of votes with the API and it doesn’t seem to show up.

    Thanks!

    Ok I found the solution. I put it in my theme functions file :

    function add_votes_field() {
register_rest_field(
'idea', 
'votes', //Field Name in JSON RESPONSE
array(
        'get_callback'    => function() {
        return get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'votes', true );
        }
    )
);
}
add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'add_votes_field' );

function idea_push_update_custom_post_type( $args, $post_type ) {
    if ( $post_type !== 'idea' ) {
         return $args;
    }

    // Add additional IDEA CPT options.
    $idea_args = array(
        'show_in_rest' => true,
    );
 // Merge args together.
 return array_merge( $args, $idea_args );
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'idea_push_update_custom_post_type', 10, 2 );

    Hi @laportjo,

    What you did there by getting the data from the post meta is exactly right. You did well to figure that out, good job! Sorry I couldn’t help earlier I was asleep ??
