• npm i to install the dependencies.
• Adjust the config.js.template file and rename it to config.js

Configuration

host

host needs to be your WordPress base url.

postParamsToBeDeleted

The WordPress API response has a lot of information that might not be needed. The parameters that shall not end up in the output file can be specified in this array. Example:

const postParamsToBeDeleted = [
  "id",
  "guid",
  "date_gmt",
  "modified_gmt",
  "type",
  "author",
  "comment_status",
  "ping_status",
  "sticky",
  "template",
  "format",
  "meta",
  "tags",
  "_links",
  "featured_media",
];

saveSettings

The saveSettings object allows for setting up different ways of saving the content. Example:

const saveSettings = {
  saveInSeparateFolders: false,
  useGenericJsonFileName: false,
};

If saveInSeparateFolders is set to true, it will create a folder for each blog entry where the JSON will be saved. Setting it to false will put all JSON files into the same base folder.

If useGenericJsonFileName is set to true, the output JSON will be named content.json instead of having the WordPress slug as filename.

teaserImageSettings

The teaserImageSettings allow to save the image url or even the whole image that was set as a teaser image for a blog post. Example:

const teaserImageSettings = {
  saveMedia: false,
  saveUrl: true,
};

• saveMedia will download each image
• saveUrl will just save the url of the image
