Wagtail VS Strapi

If you like Python 🐍 then check out this project. Wagtail is a popular CMS, combining Django’s powerful customization capabilities with a slick user interface. The newest update brings Django 5.0 support, a new searchable and filterable listing UI, the accessibility checker built into the admin interface, and a brand new 10-step tutorial for developers. This release marks Wagtail's 10th birthday 🎂. Happy birthday to the team and all the best for the next ten years and beyond 🥳.

Not so long ago, I submitted a Pull Request in wagtail to improve the admin performance, especially for non-superusers. Basically, it caches all the user's permissions on first access. However, I was pretty sure that this would load a lot of model fields that we never need but there isn't a tool that gives us that type of report. Therefore, I started building an app that keeps track of all fields accessed so you can easily know which ones haven't been used and apply the only/defer optimisation for Django querysets.

Wagtail would be a good example https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/tree/main/wagtail/tests

Over the last few years, I have had the incredible opportunity to be a core team member of the Wagtail project. In that time, I have reviewed many new pull requests, and I’ve also had the chance to submit many of my own across Wagtail and many other projects.

Wagtail 2.15 is the most recent LTS (Long Term Support) release, so it’s not a bad release to stick to at all, at least until February 2023.

Strapi provides a centralized data managing platform. This makes it easier to organize, update, and maintain the FAQ data. It also automatically generates a RESTful API for accessing the content stored in its database.

https://prisma.io is popular as I understand it. I've been trying out https://strapi.io the last week and am thoroughly impressed.

They both do much more than build queries. One big thing both do is automate database migration calculations. Strapi goes further and gives you a CMS and admin UI on top, as well as doing a lot more of the complex query building from a json object. Both still require a fundamental understanding of the data model and SQL

As of April 2024, Strapi's GitHub repository has garnered 59.7k stars and 7.5k forks, showcasing its widespread adoption. The project has also secured a substantial $45+ million in funding, cementing its position as a prominent player in the headless CMS space.

const pages = await client.GET("/pages", { params: { query: { filters: { // @ts-ignore - openapi generated from strapi results in Record // https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/19644 path: { $eq: path, }, }, // @ts-ignore populate: { blocks: { populate: "*" }, }, }, }, });

On a side note. Where do all these endpoints come from? Strapi is open source. We can read the source code. All these endpoint come from the Users and permissions plugin. So, if we go to Strapi on github and browse around the files a bit eventually you will find the auth.js file that contains all of the routes. You can also find the Strapi controllers in there if you're interested.
