This is a new tutorial series on React.js development with a Headless CMS. In this case, the CMS is WordPress. As the popularity of React.js & WordPress grows globally, I thought this is time to combine the two and make some fun applications. I use WP-API (node-wpapi) & WordPress Application Password to connect to both local & remote WordPress REST API.
The plan is to start with a simple React CRUD application and grow that to be something significant which will include all the modern bells and whistles like, React useState hook, React Dom Router, Context API, Reducers, an HTTP Service, a Configuration management system, an Error Logging system, a JWT Authentication module (connecting to WordPress), Route protection, User Registration, Styled Components, Theme management, WP GraphQL, etc.
This video is the 1st of the series. In this video, I make an introduction to the series and show how to get Posts from WordPress using REST API via WP-API and React.js. I also show how to delete a Post using WordPress Application Password.
