Gatsby Recipes: Headless WordPress

This repository contains two Gatsby recipes for the following use cases:

Using WordPress REST API as a source via the gatsby-source-wordpress plugin.
Using WPGraphQL as a source via the gatsby-source-graphql plugin.

Installation and Usage

To use Gatsby Recipes, make sure you have the latest version of gatsby-cli by running either of the following commands.

npm i -g gatsby-cli

yarn global add gatsby-cli

Next, in either an existing Gatsby site or a brand new Gatsby site, you can run the following command depending on the data source you choose.

REST API

WPGraphQL

gatsby recipes https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crock/gatsby-recipe-headless-wordpress/master/wordpress-wpgraphql.mdx

These commands will create some rudimentary styles and basic templates in your Gatsby installation.

UPDATE: Gatsby CLI v2.11.22 has added support for generating initial plugin config options, so the below steps is no longer necessary.

As of Gatsby CLI v2.11.11, the Gatsby Recipes do not support adding default options to a plugin defined in gatsby-config.js. As soon as it does, this repo will be updated to include some default options.

However, for now you will have to replace the inserted object in gatsby-config.js with these options if you want some default data.

REST API

{
    resolve: "gatsby-source-wordpress",
    options: {
        baseUrl: `cms.learnjam.org`,
        protocol: `https`,
        hostingWPCOM: false,
        useACF: true,
        includedRoutes: [
            "**/posts",
            "**/pages",
            "**/users",
            "**/categories",
            "**/tags",
        ]
    }
}

WPGraphQL

{
    resolve: 'gatsby-source-graphql',
    options: {
        typeName: 'WORDPRESS',
        fieldName: 'wordpress',
        url: 'https://cms.digipresence.org/admintuts/graphql',
    }
}
