allow skip catching for wp-admin referer, or by filter

Replies: 0

Hi,

would like to skip the catching for all requests from wp-admin.

Currently I added some lines to Endpoint_Api::skip_caching:

if ( substr( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 0, strlen( admin_url()  )) === admin_url() ) {	
	return true;
}

Would be nice to have a filter there, so I could write an mu-plugin and hook my custom skip function. Some filter like this:

if ( apply_filters( 'wp_rest_cache/skip_caching', false ) ) {
	return true;
}

To skip all requests from wp-admin referer solves/skips all gutenberg issues.
Adding an option to the plugin settings page would be great. Think that might help some users.

Some background: I got this issue using wpml. It always shows the cached custom taxonomies and terms in the editor inspector, that leads into weird language syncing issues.
Example: gutenberg wants to list our custom taxonomy terms for prefix_region and calls /wp-json/wp/v2/prefix_region?per_page=100&orderby=name&order=asc&_fields=id%2Cname%2Cparent&_locale=user. The request url is same for all languages.

And thanks for your plugin! its great. and the code is nice to read, lovely poetry
