Template Mode: Preload templates OPTIONS

[Mamaduka]

Recently capability checks were added to some Templates actions, like creating a new template. See #33392.

It might be a good idea to preload OPTIONS for the /wp/v2/templates REST API path. Like we do for media and blocks.

Should I create PR for WP core, or might it be better to add this to the plugin first?

You can use the block_editor_rest_api_preload_paths filter in the plugin:

https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/9b565f7907ca1d4cb32eccc980de98683758df17/src/wp-includes/block-editor.php#L412

I would say it's simple enough to apply in both places.

Thanks for the feedback, @gziolo.

I assume lib/compat/wordpress-5-8 will be the right directory for this code, right?

Yes, it only should be lib/compat/wordpress-5-9 as we are bridging functionality that is going to be included by default in WP 5.9.
