## Description

The objective of the plugin is to generate product button based on the data fetched
from the API. The api data should be generated in the same manner as provided by
the plugin (refer cateogory.json & product.json, included in “data” directory).

Once you activate the plugin, two tables `wp_metabox_categories` and `wp_metabox_products`
are created. The “Metabox API setting” option (under the “Setting” section) allows
to store category api url and product api url. After storing both APIs, there is
option to fetch the data. It means category and product data are stored in the respective
database table (i.e. `wp_metabox_categories` and `wp_metabox_products`). We can 
also fetch the data at regular period of time. The plugin supports two level of 
category only (i.e. Parent and child category).

The plugin also generate the metabox (named “Metabox API”) on the post or the page.
Once you select the category from “Category” dropdown / select box, the product 
specific to that category will be populated to “Product” dropdown / select box. 
After selecting the product, you can generate the shortcode by clicking “Generate
code” button. The generated shortcode can be used on any post or page which will
display as product button in frontend. Anyone can easily modify the output of the
generated shortcode.

If anyone want to modify the output of the shortcode or the attributes/fields of“
cateogory” & “Product” APIs, can reach out to me. Please provide the feedback or
suggestion to me.
