Use a React app in more than one page

rockiger commented 2 years ago

As a website maintainer, I want the React app I created in several places in my WP site, that I don't repeat myself.

[x] Change model in the options
[x] Create an update path
[x] Create the possibility to add more pages to an app in the GUI
[x] Let the user add an app to existing pages

I couldn't find anything that would help.

The approach in the article is to use WordPress's React installation, which it uses for Gutenberg and full-site editing. I can't think of a way I would hate more to develop React apps. Sorry, for being that harsh.

I think the implementation should be pretty straight forward, if I find the time or somebody else is pitching in.

We probably only need to make it possible to set more page slugs for a certain appname. The code at the moment does that:

add_option('repr_apps', [[
                'appname' => $appname,
                'pageslug' => $pageslug,
            ]]);

One solution would be to create 'more' apps or add a list of slugs. But the first approach seems more backwards compatible.
