No it shouldn’t.
The first parameter is called namespace. It’s like the scope for your functions such as this:
function my_function(){
$data = 0;
}
You can only use $data
inside that function. Same goes with the REST endpoints. The path /test/
will be available only under its specific namespace.
You should choose a unique namespace for your plugin or theme, and build different paths for different endpoints.
The second argument is the path. It’s like branches of a tree. Imagine a tree as a namespace, and its branches as paths. You can climb the tree, and then choose a branch to harvest the fruits.
However, both of these are under the scope of rest route, has a base of /wp-json/
if you have pretty permalinks enabled, or /?rest_route=
if you are using plain permalinks.
Check the code reference about register_rest_route()
for more details.
