Feature Demos

• Add Block Theme Support

Prerequisites

• Node 16+
• WordPress 6.0+ with the following plugins installed and activated:
  • WPGraphQL 1.14+
  • Faust 0.8.6+
  • Rank Math SEO 1.0.100+
  • WPGraphQL Content Blocks 0.2.0
  • WPGraphQL for Rank Math SEO 0.0.11
  • WPGraphQL for FSE (experimental)
  • A Block Theme (e.g. Twenty Twenty-Three)

What's Included

• A Next.JS app that uses Faust.js to fetch data WPGraphQL.
• TypeScript linting and hinting with graphql-codegen. (Note: there are still some type errors so strict is false in tsconfig.json for now).
• ESLint rules configured for WordPress Coding Standards.
• Advanced developer logging of ApolloClient queries and mutations.
• WP Template Hierarchy support with Faust.js's wp-templates.
• Site Editor support (experimental) for Headers, Footers, and content.
• A better DefaultBlock that doesn't rely on dangerouslySetInnerHTML.
• TailwindCSS for when the globalStylesheet and block styles aren't enough.
• SEO support using Rank Math SEO and next-seo.
• RSS Feeds ( in case any @wpengine DevRel peeps are looking 😜 ).
• PWA support with next-pwa.
• External script support with partytown.

Getting Started

• Run npm install or yarn install to install dependencies.
• Copy .env.example to .env and update the values to match your environment. (See Faust.js Getting started).
• Copy the Block Theme style.css file to the project. (How to)
• Update tailwind.config.js to match your theme's colors, and apply any overrides you need in src/styles/overrides.css.
• Run npm run dev or yarn dev to start the development server. (This will run yarn prepare which generates the types from GraphQL).
• Start developing!
