Building the API Layer

Instead of scattered fetch calls, we'll create a dedicated service layer to handle all requests to WordPress.

const API_URL = process.env.WORDPRESS_API_URL;

export async function getPosts(perPage = 10) {
  const res = await fetch(`${API_URL}/posts?per_page=${perPage}&_embed`);
  return res.json();
}
