Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 Replying to [comment:1 sanchothefat]:
 > Question: shouldn't this information be part of the ''Post Types''
 controller responses if not just exposed via `wp_localize_script()` or
 similar?

 The Posts controller seems to make most sense at this point. The value of
 both `permalink_template` and `generated_slug` are dependent on the
 ''computed'' value of `$post->ID` and `$post->post_title`, and could vary
 from post to post (e.g. through filters).

 Also, we want to expose this information through the REST API so that
 other clients (e.g. mobile apps) have access to it. `wp_localize_script()`
 doesn't provide this for us.
