PHP/HTML:
<ul id="load-more-div"></ul>
<a id="load-more" data-ppp="<?php echo get_option('posts_per_page'); ?>">load more</a>
JavaScripts:
(function($) {
// Grab the load more button, since I only want to run the code if the button is on the page
var loadMoreButton = $("#load-more");
if (loadMoreButton) {
// Get the posts_per_page number set in Reading Options
var ppp = loadMoreButton.data("ppp");
// Initialize function
var loadPosts = function(page) {
var theData, loadMoreContainer, errorStatus, errorMessage;
// The AJAX request
$.ajax({
url: "/wp-json/wp/v2/posts",
dataType: "json",
data: {
// Match the query that was already run on the page
per_page: ppp,
page: page,
type: "post",
orderby: "date"
},
success: function(data) {
// Remove the button if the response returns no items
if (data.length < 1) {
loadMoreButton.remove();
}
// Create a place to store exactly what I need
// Alternatively, the response can be filtered to only return the needed data, which is probably more efficient as the following loop wont be needed
theData = [];
// Get only what I need, and store it
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
theData[i] = {};
theData[i].id = data[i].id;
theData[i].link = data[i].link;
theData[i].title = data[i].title.rendered;
theData[i].content = data[i].content.rendered;
}
// Grab the container where my data will be inserted
loadMoreContainer = $("#load-more-div");
// For each object in my newly formed array, build a new element to store that data, and insert it into the DOM
$.each(theData, function(i) {
loadMoreContainer.append(
'<li><a href="' +
theData[i].link +
'">' +
theData[i].title +
"</a></li>"
);
});
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
errorStatus = jqXHR.status + " " + jqXHR.statusText + "\n";
errorMessage = jqXHR.responseJSON.message;
// Show me what the error was
console.log(errorStatus + errorMessage);
}
});
};
// Since our AJAX query is the same as the original query on the page (page 1), start with page 2
var getPage = 2;
// Actually implement the functionality when the button is clicked
loadMoreButton.on("click", function() {
loadPosts(getPage);
// Increment the page, so on the next click we get the next page of results
getPage++;
});
}
})(jQuery);
This is the trouble part, it doesn't remove the link.
// Remove the button if the response returns no items
if (data.length < 1) {
loadMoreButton.remove();
}
Console errors when click the load more link after reaching the end of posts:
400 Bad Request
The page number requested is larger than the number of pages available.
