Get Started with (wait for it) Headlesssssssss....
WP Engine’s Headless WordPress Framework includes this example project, the headless WordPress plugin, headless packages, and tutorials to make building headless WordPress sites fast and fun.
Explore this Example Project
This headless example project uses Next.js, GraphQL, GQty and the WP Engine headless packages for WordPress integration. Dive in and edit this template at src/pages/index.tsx
or discover more below.
Static Site Generation
This example project uses Next.js' Static Site Generation (SSR). SSG unlocks better performance by statically generating pages that can then be cached by a CDN.
Incremental Static Regeneration
This example project uses Next.js' Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR). This allows you to revalidate static pages without having to rebuild your entire site. By default, Faust.js sets a 15 minute revalidate
time per page.
Learn more about how Faust.js uses ISR.
Ready for Atlas
Atlas is the complete Headless WordPress Platform for absurdly fast dynamic sites. One headless solution, one price, all in one place.
Global Styles and Fonts
Add styles to load on every page, such as typography and layout rules, in src/scss/main.scss
. The project adds normalize.css in src/pages/_app.tsx
. Google Fonts are enqueued in src/pages/_document.tsx
.
Hooks
Fetch data from WordPress with usePost
, usePosts
, useGeneralSettings
and other custom hooks. Use these hooks in your page templates to pass data to custom components. See src/pages/index.tsx
for examples.
Components
Add or edit components in the src/components
folder. Find component styles at src/scss/components
, which use CSS modules to scope CSS to each component.
Latest Posts
The Posts component in src/pages/index.tsx shows the latest six posts from the connected WordPress site.
