Gatsby Apollo WPGraphQL JWT Starter

This project aims to serve as a good starting point, to handle user registration and login with Apollo, WPGraphQL and WPGraphQL JWT Authentication.

We gonna use the following libraries for now:

It should work now with the latest versions of WPGraphQL. Apollo v3 might change from beta to a stable release.

🚀 Quick start

WordPress

  1. Install plugins

    Download the .zip files and install through the WordPress Admin or if you can run git, just run the following commands inside your ./wp-content/plugins/ folder:

    git clone https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql.git
    git clone https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql-jwt-authentication.git
    
  2. Check your permalinks

    Make sure your graphql endpoint works as expected. See these docs: https://docs.wpgraphql.com/getting-started/install-and-activate/#verify-the-endpoint-works

  3. Define a secret In your wp-config.php deinfe a secret. You can use WordPress Salt generator (https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/) to generate a Secret.

    define( 'GRAPHQL_JWT_AUTH_SECRET_KEY', 'your-secret-token' );
    

Gatsby

  1. Install modules

    Run yarn to install packages. Also after the modules are installed it should run createPossibleType.js automatically on postinstall.

    yarn

    Check if the file ./apollo/possibleTypes.json has been created.

  2. Add .env.development

    There is an .env.development.example which you can use and rename. Make sure you have a .env.development in your root folder.

    GRAPHQL_URL=http://your-domain/graphql

    If you run yarn run build you need a .env.production in you root folder. Or you run it in your CI wit CI-Variables.

  3. Start developing

    Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

    yarn run develop

    or

    yarn run cdev

    cdev runs gatsby clean before running develop

  4. Open the source code and start editing!

    Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

    Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

    Open the my-default-starter directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!
