Make WordPress feel like the next big thing again

  • I’ve spun up a variety of demo GraphQL APIs and worked with GraphQL for the last 3 years and I really can’t get enough of WPGraphQL. WordPress is so deeply entrenched in the world that it doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere anytime soon, but WP GraphQL makes it feel usable to me. I’ve been jaded to CMSs for a long time, but I actually have kind of enjoyed working in WordPress because I can get exactly what I need done in GraphQL now.

    A big benefit of GraphQL’s typing is that it can generate code and docs. You get the full WordPress API automatically turned into a GraphQL API just by installing the plugin, but WPGraphQL also benefits from GraphQL because extensions you make to your API are documented already.

    In addition to making it waaaaay more ergonomic for developers, GraphQL reduces the strain on the server by reducing the requests you need to make to your server which also means your WordPress instance can save some serious cycles.

    Thanks @jdembowski! Didn’t know that, sorry if there are review rules somewhere I wasn’t aware of! I guess with the WYSIWYG editor allowing links I got a little excited ??
