Hello everyone … I am currently configuring my Frontity and I would like to know if it uses GraphQL to recover data ? If so, how do you proceed ?
Hello @Gray! Frontity does not use GraphQL to recover data. However, @frontity/wp-source package provides state.source.get API that returns an object that gives you info about the type of that link and related entities.
Example
import React from 'react';
import { connect } from 'frontity';
const Posts = ({ state }) => {
const data = state.source.get(state.router.link); // returns an object similar to the one below
console.log(data);
};
export default connect(Posts);
NB: The above code snippet requires the @frontity/wp-source and @frontity/tiny-router packages to be installed to return a response object like:
{
// entity properties
taxonomy: "category"
id: 7
// booleans that identify the type of path
isArchive: true
isCategory: true
isTaxonomy: true
// booleans that show the fetch status
isFetching: false
isReady: true
// list of posts (if it's an archive)
items: [{ type: "post", id: 60, link: "..." }, ...]
total: 10
totalPages: 1
}
We have written guides on how to fetch posts in our documentation: https://docs.frontity.org/api-reference-1/wordpress-source.
Happy Coding!
