This provider is supposed to run on a local wp install for dev purposes. It makes use of https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/#cookie-authentication
Works by getting all namespaces of an activee wordpress install
This authorization method expects a predefined JS global object is already
available on the page it is included.
The name of the global is defined in config.json under globalObjectName
example config:
```json
{
"wordpress.org": [
{
"name": "localDev",
"authType": "local_dev",
"globalObjectName": "wpApiSettings",
"url": "http://no-need-for-url.com"
}
]
}
```
the object itself can be abtained in PHP like this (in this case the
global in the config should be named `wpApiSettings`
```php
wp_localize_script( 'wp-api', 'wpApiSettings', array(
'nonce' => wp_create_nonce( 'wp_rest' ),
'url' => esc_url_raw( site_url() ),
'baseUrl' => esc_url_raw( trailingslashit( rest_url() ) ),
'loggedInUserId' => get_current_user_id()
) );
```

This is useful for local REST API development or for embedding the console as a plugin into an existing wordpress installation.
It requires a predefined JavaScript global object is
available on the page.
The name of that global is defined in config.json under globalObjectName
example config:
{ "wordpress.org": [ { "name": "localDev", "authType": "local_dev", "globalObjectName": "wpApiSettings", "url": "http://no-need-for-url.com" } ] }The JS object can be obtained like this (in this case the
globalObjectNamein the config should be namedwpApiSettings)
