I've been advocating this approach to WordPress for the past year :) thanks for bringing more awareness to this awesome stack, but you missed the most important point of all - the WordPress GraphQL plugin!! github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql
With one-click, you have programmatic access to all WordPress' features via GraphQL. What a time we live in.
Definitely check out WPGraphQL (github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql)! Gatsby's new WordPress Source plugin will deprecate support for the WP REST API and will use WPGraphQL on the WordPress Server.
If you have something you need to deliver now, I'd probably suggest using WPGraphQL + Gatsby Source GraphQL.
If you're just experimenting and looking for long term structure, I'd probably wait for the new source plugin as that will have a lot of things specifically optimized for the Gatsby + WordPress experience.

I'm actually not using that plugin at all. I went the route of
gatsby-source-wordpress
, but more on that in post 4 ;)Fair enough! Look forward to your series :)

Hi Jason,
What's the best way ? wait for the v4 or use the gastby-source-graphql plugin ?
Like most things in tech: "It depends"

Oh man you should at least check out the new GraphQL plugin for WordPress! It's made by Gatsby 😍🍻
Either way I love Gatsby
