Worknoon Chat WordPress Plugin

WordPress integration for the Worknoon Full-Stack WordPress assessment. The plugin adds a chat session custom post type, a shortcode-powered floating chat widget, and REST endpoints that can integrate with the Node/Express chat backend.

Features

  • Custom post type: chat_session
  • Shortcode: [worknoon_chat]
  • Floating chat widget
  • Settings page for backend API URL
  • REST endpoint for creating local chat sessions
  • REST proxy endpoint for creating backend conversations
  • Product/order context support through shortcode attributes

Installation

  1. Copy this folder into:
wp-content/plugins/worknoon-chat-wordpress

  1. Activate Worknoon Chat in the WordPress admin plugin screen.

  2. Go to:

Settings > Worknoon Chat
  1. Set the backend URL:
http://localhost:5050

or your deployed backend URL.

Usage

Add the shortcode to any page, post, product page, or template:

[worknoon_chat]

With product context:

[worknoon_chat context="product" product_id="sku-classic-chair-001" product_name="Classic Office Chair"]

The widget appears as a floating chat button in the lower-right corner.

REST API

Create Local Chat Session

POST /wp-json/worknoon-chat/v1/session

Requires a logged-in WordPress user and a valid WordPress REST nonce.

Example body:

{
  "message": "I have a question about this product.",
  "productId": "sku-classic-chair-001",
  "productName": "Classic Office Chair"
}

Proxy Backend Conversation

POST /wp-json/worknoon-chat/v1/proxy/conversations

Requires:

X-Worknoon-Token: BACKEND_JWT_TOKEN

This forwards the JSON body to:

{BACKEND_API_URL}/api/conversations

Integration Notes

  • The plugin stores WordPress-side session records in chat_session.
  • The shortcode widget demonstrates the WordPress integration surface without requiring a bundled React build.
  • The Node backend remains the source of truth for real-time Socket.IO messaging.
  • WooCommerce order and product sync can be extended by passing product/order context into the shortcode.

Assessment Mapping

  • Custom Post Type: chat_session
  • Shortcode: [worknoon_chat]
  • REST API: worknoon-chat/v1/session and worknoon-chat/v1/proxy/conversations
  • Bonus-ready context: product ID/name shortcode attributes
