Description

REST-Based Admin Data Manager is a WordPress plugin that provides a modern admin interface to manage custom data items using React and WordPress REST API.

It allows administrators to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) items from a custom database table without page reloads. This plugin demonstrates modern WordPress plugin development using REST API, AJAX, and React components.

Key Features:

  • Add, edit, and delete custom data items via a React-powered admin panel
  • Inline editing and modal-based forms for a professional SaaS-like experience
  • Bulk delete functionality for efficient management
  • Search and pagination for large datasets
  • Toast notifications for success and error messages
  • Fully integrated with WordPress admin styling using @wordpress/components

This plugin is perfect for learning REST API integration, AJAX, React in WordPress admin, and creating professional plugin interfaces.

Installation

  1. Upload the rest-admin-data-manager folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to the admin menu Data Manager to access the admin dashboard.

Usage

  1. Add a new item: Click the Add New Item button, fill in the Title and Status, then click Save.
  2. Edit an item: Click the Edit button on any row, modify the data in the modal, and save.
  3. Delete an item: Click the Delete button for a single item.
  4. Bulk delete: Select multiple items using checkboxes, then click Delete Selected.
  5. Search items: Use the search box to filter items by title.
  6. Pagination: Navigate through multiple pages using Prev/Next buttons.

REST API Endpoints

The plugin exposes the following REST API endpoints (authenticated users only):

Method Endpoint Description
GET /wp-json/dm/v1/items Fetch all items
POST /wp-json/dm/v1/items Add a new item
PUT /wp-json/dm/v1/items/{id} Update an item by ID
DELETE /wp-json/dm/v1/items/{id} Delete an item by ID

All endpoints require a valid WordPress nonce and manage_options capability.

Developer Notes

  • Uses WordPress @wordpress/components for modals, buttons, inputs, and notifications.
  • All data operations are AJAX-based via wp.apiFetch.
