wp-graphql VS faustjs

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

Yeah, in hindsight, we would have used Next/Vercel. So we're tactically moving over to that. There are many new frameworks, like Astro, that are really exciting, but it seems like Next is the best choice if you have a data-heavy app that has a dynamic mix of SSR and static pages. For Wordpress in particular, I'd recommend that you check out Faust.js. It's build with Next and I'm amazed by how well it works with Wordpress without much effort: https://faustjs.org/

https://faustjs.org is a great headless Wordpress solution for Nextjs. I've tried several CMS solutions and ultimately WordPress is invariably the friendliest option from a client perspective.

I'm working through a large project where we're leveraging WordPress and Next.js. Check out Faust.js (https://faustjs.org/) which works as a layer to handle a lot of the query/template/routing stuff that maybe isn't super-intuitive when trying to hook WordPress up headlessly...

- FaustJS (built for headless WP on NextJS w/ full site editing capabilities)

Faust.js is the front-end JavaScript framework built on top of Next.js, created to make developing headless WordPress sites easier. The idea of this new version is to make a parity between the WordPress world that a developer might be used to but replicate it as much as possible in the JavaScript front-end world.

This is where it started. Then there is also Faustjs started by WPEngine. https://faustjs.org/
