Making WordPress the Best Headless CMS: Supporting Content Creator Workflows in Faust.js
One of the largest barriers for people considering adopting WordPress for their next headless project is that it isn’t made explicitly for headless. Without the right tools in place, this means that the convenient and friendly workflows that editors and content creators love so much about WordPress are different or sometimes lacking altogether.
But what if we could make the content editing experience in headless WordPress feel as complete as native WordPress? That is exactly the question the team responsible for the Faust.js framework is trying to solve. Join us for this exciting session where we look at some of their most recent efforts in this direction:
✔️ How you can double-down on using the block editor using the new wp-graphql-content-blocks plugin and a new React component library for core blocks
✔️ How a headless WordPress admin bar can make editing and updating a headless site feel as native as core WordPress for logged-in users
✔️ Explore the ways the admin bar could be pluggable or extendable so that you can clear CDN cache, rebuild a static page directly from a preview page, or write your own custom functionality
✔️ Hear about the next steps for wp-graphql-content-blocks, including a more advanced rich text parsing API and the team’s theories around resuing blocks between the CMS and frontend
