WP_REST_Server::json_error( string $code, string $message, int $status = null )

Retrieves an appropriate error representation in JSON.


Description

Note: This should only be used in WP_REST_Server::serve_request(), as it cannot handle WP_Error internally. All callbacks and other internal methods should instead return a WP_Error with the data set to an array that includes a ‘status’ key, with the value being the HTTP status to send.


Parameters

$code

(Required) WP_Error-style code.

$message

(Required) Human-readable message.

$status

(Optional) HTTP status code to send.

Default value: null


Return

(string) JSON representation of the error

		}

		$error = compact( 'code', 'message' );

		return wp_json_encode( $error );
	}
