Headless Wp Starter

This project is a headless WordPress starter kit and React frontend boilerplate. It provides a decoupled CMS architecture that separates the WordPress data source from the presentation layer, utilizing WordPress as a content API and React for the client-side user interface.

The starter kit includes a Dockerized WordPress environment for rapid local development bootstrapping. It implements a GraphQL integration to fetch content and custom data schemas from the backend, using JSON Web Tokens for secure API authentication.

The project covers content migration and data import from external installations into local environments. It also supports the creation of schema-extended data models through custom fields and resolvers to tailor data delivery to the frontend.

    The WordPress REST API is a web interface and JSON-based content API that allows for the retrieval and modification of site content, users, and metadata using standard HTTP methods. It functions as a headless CMS interface, decoupling content management from the frontend by exposing site data through a programmable RESTful controller. The system is distinguished by its hypermedia-driven discovery and JSON-schema-based validation, which allow clients to programmatically locate resources and ensure predictable data exchange. It utilizes namespace-based endpoint registration to organize routes a
