Really it's up to you. I currently use this package in my own Old English Wordhord app.
Additionally, if you find a bug or want a new feature add an issue and I will get back to you about it.
WordpressReader is open source and free but if you like using it, please consider supporting my work.
Create an instance of WordpressSite for any Wordpress.com website:
let site = WordpressSite(domain: "oldenglishwordhord.com", name: "Old English Wordhord")Fetch posts, pages, categories, or tags asynchronously:
let posts: [WordpressPost] = try await site.fetch(.posts())
let pages: [WordpressPage] = try await site.fetch(.pages())
let categories: [WordpressCategory] = try await site.fetch(.categories())
let tags: [WordpressTag] = try await site.fetch(.tags())Add a set of WordpressQueryItem to narrow down your request:
let request = WordpressRequest.posts([.postedAfter(aWeekAgo), .order(.asc), perPage(10)])
let posts = try await site.fetch(request)Wordpress queries may result in several pages of items. You can customize your WordpressRequest to get the first page out quickly:
var recentPosts = WordpressRequest.posts()
recentPosts.maxPages = 1
var remainingPosts = WordpressRequest.posts()
remainingPosts.startPage = 2
self.posts = try await site.fetch(recentPosts)
self.posts += try await site.fetch(remainingPosts)The default .fetch() will get pages in parallel but only return when they're all done. If you want each batch in order as soon as they're ready, use an async stream:
for try await batch in try await site.stream(request) {
self.posts += posts
}
