timber VS wp-graphql

Use Timber for templating https://github.com/timber/timber

I’ve used timber and then built of their example theme. I can share a skeleton example of my base theme that incorporates vue and vite if you’re interested!

Would just drop underscore and go for https://github.com/timber/timber with their starter theme.

Finally, since Wordpress by default doesn't have a templating language you might be annoyed by mixing HTML/PHP for templates at first. I could recommend Timber to add Twig template support to your theme. It's helped me out a great deal in cleaning up messy intermixed presentation files.

Timber or Sage as you prefer !

ACF let you make all your custom fields and assign them literally anywhere. Timber brings Twig to Wordpress so you can have your views in twig files and your logic on php files and have a neat, modular, tidy, mantainable theme without having to deal with those mixed php/html nightmares you usually see.

Ya know, one more thing you might want to just look through: Timber/Timber.

Your best bet are starter themes using the Twig templating language which is similar to the templating languages you may already know.

Are you dead set on building a Nuxt + Vue application? Partial to NextJS like I am? Well good news everyone, WordPress has done a pretty decent job over the past couple of years building out the WordPress API and enabling developers to leverage WordPress as a Headless CMS. Pair that with the amazing WPGraphQL Pluginand you’re cooking with JavaScript. You get all the benefits of really solid backend CMS that end users are familiar with, and can grasp with a 1 hour CMS training, distributed using your favorite flavor of JavaScript.

It's very easy to use when you use https://www.wpgraphql.com/ Here's an example of a repeatable component I set up using the repeater filled. It might help you.

I am using Headless Wordpress with https://www.wpgraphql.com/ for API hosted on SiteGround and Nextjs for frontend.

Look at other popular plugins to see what they do, and how that's different from what you did. For example browse a bit through https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql

As you can see I'm getting all the posts from my Wordpress GraphQL endpoint and receiving the title, excerpt, slug and date fields, there's more I can get if I follow the GraphQL API for Wordpress documentation, but that's all I need for the demo.

How does this compare to WPGraphQL https://www.wpgraphql.com that's been around for quite some time (https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql)

Did you find shortcomings with that plugin?

You can use wordpress as a backend and then hook up your frontend through a graphql api plugin.
