Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 This ticket says way too much and talks about JavaScript in the same
 breath as proposing REST API endpoints that don't exist yet. Do we want to
 clean up the description to just focus on the endpoints? What is built
 with the endpoints is irrelevant.

 I wrote a woefully insufficient, read-only endpoint for Sidebars here:
 https://github.com/staylor/graphql-wordpress/blob/master/packages/graphql-
 wordpress-middleware/lib/REST/Controller/Sidebars.php

 The data model for widgets is overdue for a spec.

 Widgets on their own in a REST API seem semi-useless. Sidebars are a
 mandatory requirement for building a frontend that reflects the data in
 the admin.

 Can we use this ticket as a spike for the endpoints? Everything else is
 separate.
