I’m trying to figure out the JSON REST stuff and when I try to learn something, I find it’s best to have a project goal.
So my goal is to make a page that I can’t figure out another way to make: A List of EE Categories, each with a list of events in that category.
My problem is that I can’t figure out WHERE the EE categories are in the JSON data. How do I call them? Use them?
Maybe it’s in posts meta, which apparently I don’t have permission for? How to grant permission for that?
So many questions, I know.
Thanks in advance for your patience.

FYI, I’ve installed WP JSON REST plugin and EE JSON REST addon and also the CLIENT addon from the Github. I’ve got it working and am trying to modify it for my own (and client’s) needs.

The template currently has:
<article ng-repeat=”event in events”>
<h2>”{{ event.link }} {{ event.EVT_name }}</h2>
</article>

I want it to have something like:
<article ng-repeat=”event in events”>
<h2>{{ event.EVT_category }}</h2>

• {{ event.link }} {{ event.EVT_name }}

</article>

And of course, I want it to loop through the categories and then loop through the events in each category.

THANKS!
