Get taxonomy by slug
See original GitHub issueIn the docs (frontpage) it says:
wp.taxonomies().taxonomy( 'taxonomy_name' ).term( termIdentifier ): get the term with slug or ID termIdentifier from the taxonomy taxonomy_name
This works with the ID, but not with the slug 😦. Is this something that changed?

The “slug” query parameter is now supported by the WordPress REST API for the
tagsandcategoriesendpoints. https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/924In the intervening year, this has been broken again by the v2 beta upgrades: WP-API/WP-API#924 identifies that
filteris not currently supported on the/categoriesor/tagsendpoints.WP-API/WP-API#2065 has been opened to identify whether this will ever be reinstated; in the meantime, #126 will add a demonstration of using the
?searchparameter to slightly more efficiently retrieve a specific term by slug (basically the same “get them all and search for the one you want in the response” approach detailed above, but with less overhead due to the narrowing effect of?search=the-slug).
