wp-graphql VS bedrock

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.

I think you might be looking for WPGraphQL

- WPGraphQL

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.

You want to use WP as a headless CMS. Look at https://www.wpgraphql.com

There are ready-made boilerplates like Bedrock and Sword but, at an architectural level, I'm not a fan of any I've seen.

Node (within the docker container) to build theme assets, composer to manage WordPress core + plugins and other dependencies. I built something similar to Roots for project boilerplate, custom starter theme and in-house mu-plugin within it.

Is this any good? https://roots.io/bedrock/ for a plugin?

As I only really use it for keeping stuff up to date, I'm looking at using Roots Bedrock for my next project. I'll then be keeping everything up to date via composer.

What advantages does WordPlate have over Bedrock[1], some of whose packages WordPlate also uses?

Probably looking for a https://roots.io/bedrock/

WordPress on containers is a very different beast if you actually want to use any of the advantages of containers. You probably need to figure out how to run upgrades by building a new image and not with the WP installer (which you need to disable to not have sudden version rollbacks). You probably want your plugins managed by compose and not a user. You probably want an S3 plugin for media. In fact, you probably want Bedrock. This is not a "single day task", just taking in the requirements and design phase is easily a day or two.

I'd strongly advice using Bedrock ( https://roots.io/bedrock/ ) and possibly even Sage

No, as far as I know it’s not that easy to accomplish with WordPress. You can use Bedrock (https://roots.io/bedrock/ ) as a Boilerplate for your development process. The Database can not be cloned to each environment that easily. Because every instance is working on it’s own. So if others want to work on their local machine they need a database dump which they have to setup manually on their machine. The only way that comes in my mind is to set up a development site that is accessible for every developer. You could then connect your local WordPress environment with the database from that development site. Everyone would than be working in the same database and everybody could see the changes someone else is making. But I think that wouldn’t be best practice but could be an option.
