WP_REST_Server::error_to_response( WP_Error $error )

Converts an error to a response object.


Description

This iterates over all error codes and messages to change it into a flat array. This enables simpler client behaviour, as it is represented as a list in JSON rather than an object/map.


Parameters

$error

(WP_Error) (Required) WP_Error instance.


Return

(WP_REST_Response) List of associative arrays with code and message keys.
