Frontity release: WordPress native comments support and new Yoast package

👨‍💻 Framework Development Releases
1

New features

  • Release the first beta version of the default WordPress Comments package, which allows you to fetch the comments of a post, and submit new ones, in a really easy way.

    Here we have a demo (10mins) of how it works and its functionalities:

And a Codesandbox where you can find an example about how to implement them. We recommend you to point it to your own WordPress site, so you can test the different settings and submit new comments (it isn’t currently allowed in test.frontity.org).

  • Support for Yoast plugin REST API fields. The Yoast team added support for the REST API in the 14.0 version of their plugin, and we’ve created a package, @frontity/yoast, that fetches and populates your Frontity app with these fields.

    This means that if you are using Yoast ^14.0, you should use this new package. And, if you’re using a previous version where the REST API is not supported by the Yoast plugin, or you use other SEO plugin, you can use the @frontity/head-tags package.

    Here we have a quick demo:

Enhancements

  • Implement the e2e testing system when WordPress instances are required, which will help us to go faster and make the framework more reliable.
  • You can use now the default Google Tag Manager events like clicks, that weren’t working properly in @frontity/google-tag-manager-analytics. #551
  • Add a processors prop to the Html2React component which overrides the processors defined in libraries.html2react.processors for that specific element. #548
  • Add the new types required for wp-comments. #542
  • Remove all the short flags from the CLI commands. #540
