WiFi Connect should have an AP Connect function (IDFGH-13102)
Is your feature request related to a problem?
In "esp-idf/examples/common_components/protocol_examples_common/" we have some files that help easily connect to interfaces like Ethernet or WiFi.
In "wifi_connect.c" we have the example_wifi_connect() function that in turn calls example_wifi_sta_do_connect() to setup a WiFi STA connection.
The problem is, STA is the only option for example connect. I think it would be very practical and useful to implement a way of easily connecting in AP mode using example_connect().
Describe the solution you'd like.
The functions example_wifi_ap_do_connect(...) and example_wifi_ap_do_disconnect(...) should be implemented in "wifi_connect.c".
Describe alternatives you've considered.
I can implement the AP mode myself as usual, but it would be better to just use the function provided in common component.
Additional context.

hi @LucasSaintrain, I think I didn't understand your requirement correctly, because an AP does not go through a connection process, it is the STA that connects to it. Could you please explain what you want the function "AP connecting" to do?
Hello @Xiehanxin, You're correct, I missed the point that the AP isn't actually connecting to anyone.
What I meant to ask is for a utility function that works just like the STA connect, but for creating an AP. This means a simple function call that uses a SSID and Password from some global #defines and uses it to configure the access point.
