wp-graphql VS jamstack.org

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

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

Docusaurus is a Jamstack SSG (Static Site Generator) mainly intended for documentation and blog websites. It is a Meta Open Source project. Its configuration is done mainly through a JavaScript file called docusaurus.config.js.

Netlify has gained popularity among developers for its ease of use and powerful features. It's a great option for hosting static websites or Jamstack applications.

Jamstack architecture continues to gain popularity as a modern web development approach that focuses on pre-rendered content served from a CDN. Some benefits of Jamstack include better performance, lower cost, and greater scalability. Expect to see growth in Jamstack frameworks like Gatsby, Next.js and Nuxt.js in 2023.

More importantly, Netlify, the creator and stewards of the term Jamstack including it's canonical site, has largely abandoned the term as well, in favor of a "composable web" term that better aligns with their ambitions around becoming a broader enterprise platform including content (with tools like Netlify Connect).

I have been using the hosting environment provided by Netlify for years. I am aware there are several available including Vercelli and Heroku, to name a few, but Netlify was the first I tried and it continues to work well. It links into my Git repos on BitBucket and also offers Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) for experimentation and small projects. Netlify is also a prime advocate of the JAMStack architecture that is gaining considerable interest.

You should check out JamStack. The premise is that the majority of your site is static content and you can push it out to CDNs that are frequently cheap or free.

Perhaps this is worth checking out and utilizing when I have the time to attempt another JAMstack project. Possibly Eleventy?
