Any examples of this kit in production? #191

Has anyone successfully deployed a project with this Headless starter kit?

Would love to see examples, especially curious about performance metrics.

Does Postlight have any clients who use this stack? Would love to see their sites =)

I used it for this.

@chwzr where are you hosting the frontend and backend?

Looks good!

How did you get the dropdowns to work within wp?

@akramk22 : Oh, I filter the item by object type "category", and render the separate array in in the dropdown div, so any link in the menu which is a category will go there.

item.object === "category"

@cr101 : I'm hosting it on a very small cloud vserver instance at hetzner.de (best hosting provider in europe so far) ... its basically a ubuntu with docker containers and a nginx proxy serving both.

Would love to see an example as well. Experienced dev but new to wordpress. I don't quiet follow the wp-headless, is that for local use only? Or is it supposed to be deployed in production as well?

I think the idea is to deploy it in production so the publishing experience is familiar for WordPress users and more intuitive even for those not familiar with WordPress yet, as opposed to rolling your own custom CMS backend and teaching people how to use it. But then you still have total freedom to build your frontend as a custom React project.

@ginatrapani told me a year and a half ago that this setup was being used here and as far as I can tell, they're continuing to use it.

Update on that: Vice News has since moved off of this stack and onto their unified publishing platform that runs all their verticals.

The Players' Tribune isn't using the starter kit code exactly as they had more complicated needs, but they ARE using headless WordPress with GraphQL + Next.js.
