What’s New in CoCart v3.2

• Enhancement: Moved products array to it’s own object and returned pagination information in the response. – Products API v2 ONLY!

A small break but a good one thanks to the feedback from Alberto Abruzzo.

This only affects when accessing all products with or without query parameters set. Now you need to access the array of products from an object not just from the response as is.

You now get the page number, total pages, total products and pagination links in the response.

What’s also great about this enhancement is that any query parameters set will also be appended to the pagination links making it easy for developers to make the same query request for the next or previous page.

{
    "products": [
        {
            "id": 19,
            "parent_id": 0,
            "name": "V-Neck T-Shirt",
            "type": "variable",
            ...
        },
    ],
    "page": 2,
    "total_pages": 22,
    "total_products": 22,
    "_links": {
        "prev": [
            {
                "href": "https://mystore.com/wp-json/cocart/v2/products?page=1&per_page=1"
            }
        ],
        "next": [
            {
                "href": "https://mystore.com/wp-json/cocart/v2/products?page=3&per_page=1"
            }
        ]
    }
}

• Fixed: Plugin review notice reappearing even after it has been dismissed. – Although the database saved a user meta value once dismissed, it was still being ignored.

• Deprecated: Support for WooCommerce less than version 4.8 or legacy versions of WooCommerce Admin before it was packaged with the core of WooCommerce.

• Enhancement: Better detection of WooCommerce Admin. Now checks if the feature is enabled.

For Developers

• Introduced new filter cocart_prevent_wc_admin_note_created to prevent WooCommerce Admin notes from being created.
