 If I do this:

 {{{
 var postsCollection = new wp.api.collections.Posts();
 postsCollection.fetch();
 }}}

 I'm only seeing the category id returned in the attributes object for each
 post.

 Is there a way to include all category data there? Or from that point,
 when I'm looping over postsCollection, how do I get the category data for
 each post?

 I tried doing this:

 {{{
 postsCollection.each( function( post ) {
     post.getCategories().done( function( postCategories ) {
         // ... do something with the categories.
         // The new post has an single Category: Uncategorized
         console.log( postCategories[0].name );
         // response -> "Uncategorized"
     });
 });
 }}}

 But this is giving me post.getCategories is not a function.

 Any insight here? Basically I'm just trying to find out how to loop over
 posts AND include their categories.
