WPGraphQL made my life 1000x better

First of all you should know I’m biased. The creator/author/maintainer of this project and I work together. With that being said we only work together because WPGraphQL so amazing. I’m the author/maintainer of the new Gatsby source plugin which uses it to efficiently source WP data into Gatsby

I joined Gatsby because Jason works here (and WPGraphQL is currently sponsored by Gatsby) and that’s because I believe very strongly that this plugin can change the world of web development and improve the lives and careers of millions of WordPress developers.

How can it do that?
Well WPGraphQL can not only make traditional PHP based WP development easier and more performant, but it also opens up the possibility that WordPress can be used in any context, for mobile apps, web apps, desktop apps, anything that can make a request to a web url can use WP with WPGraphQL!

Prior to WPGraphQL you had to remember 1000+ WP utility functions and what the performance cost of those were. Or you had to use the REST api and read through many pages of documentation or carefully inspect the JSON response payload to reverse engineer what data you’re getting.
Now you simply open wp-graphiql, inspect the available fields, query them, and have a great day.

I could go on and on about the benefits which are numerous, but you should really try it for yourself. And join the WPGraphQL public Slack channel!
There is an amazing community there where folks are continually helping each other with problems and hanging out.
