Comment (by schlessera):

 I looked through my code to see how I handled the `menu-items` endpoint.

 I basically just reused the posts controller, by adding the following to
 the `register_post_type()` call for the `nav_menu_item` post type:

 {{{#!php
 'show_in_rest'          => true,
 'rest_base'             => 'menu-items',
 'rest_controller_class' => 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller',
 }}}

 Through all the built-in mechanisms that the controller, and more
 specifically the posts controller provide, this allows for all general
 manipulations you might need.

 Of course, as soon as we want to add menu-item-specific code, we'd need to
 extend the posts controller anyway, so @ryelle 's approach above makes
 sense.
