Create Admin API Endpoint

Instructions

  1. If creating an endpoint for an entirely new resource, create a new endpoint file in ghost/​core/​core/​server/​api/​endpoints/. Otherwise, locate the existing endpoint file in the same directory.
  2. The endpoint file should create a controller object using the JSDoc type from (@tryghost/​api-framework).Controller, including at minimum a docName and a single endpoint definition, i.e. browse.
  3. Add routes for each endpoint to ghost/​core/​core/​server/​web/​api/​endpoints/​admin/​routes.js.
  4. Add basic e2e-api tests for the endpoint in ghost/​core/​test/​e2e-api/​admin to ensure the new endpoints function as expected.
  5. Run the tests and iterate until they pass: cd ghost/​core && yarn test:single test/​e2e-api/​admin/​{test-file-name}.
