Query vars for WP-API, trying to understand how everything works

private-query-vars.js

module.exports = [
	'offset',                 // (int) - number of post to displace or pass over. Warning: Setting the offset parameter overrides/ignores the paged parameter and breaks pagination (Click here for a workaround). The 'offset' parameter is ignored when 'posts_per_page'=>-1 (show all posts) is used.
	'posts_per_archive_page', // (int) - number of posts to show per page - on archive pages only. Over-rides posts_per_page and showposts on pages where is_archive() or is_search() would be true.
