A boilerplate for pairing the WP Rest API with a server-rendered React app

react-wp-rest's Issues

Use composer as dependency manager on API side

Hey guys, really nice job here!
But you can take more care with the API side.

By using composer as dependency manager to manage all the required plugins and themes users/developers can have a way better development experience.

You'll probably need a separate repository for custom things like the REST-API theme, but I think that worth it.

Let me know what you guys think about it and if there's anything I can help you.

Gutenberg CORS issues

I am now getting Gutenberg CORS errors, and so am unable to update or publish posts / pages. This appears to be very common out there, and may be related to diff site and WP urls.

The error:

The cors.php file looks fine. Any other ideas?

Enable previewing drafts

We need to factor in draft previewing. Postlight's implementation does this nicely and we should follow suit.

Connection Refused

I'm loving this boilerplate and plan to use it as a start for a product app.

I had this totally up and running, then shut down my computer (mac) and cannot load the site - connection is refused on :8080. The page loads at :3000, but cannot connect to the data.

I am not sure where to start. Though I see this is a common problem after researching the issue, I want to look at it in the context of this boilerplate.

Thanks in advance!

Previewing a new page does not work

When I add a new page without publishing previewing that page does not work.

Remove WP REST API Cache, build custom plugin that clears Redux store

We should remove WP REST API Cache plugin reliance seeing as how the SSR app should only be really polling from the WP API once and then caching into the server's Redux store.

As the repo sits now, our client fetches (and updates) the server Redux store on every single page load. That keeps everything fresh, but is not ideal because we're making those initial calls every time the server renders (and every time the client loads). We should check to see if the client store is populated before making API calls, and skip the call if it's populated.

If we modify the React app's code to check the store and skip calls if possible, that means we need to provide content editors within WP the ability to manually clear the Redux store cache, rather than clearing WP REST API cache.

[Question] How is persistence handled?

Played a bit with your stack and noticed that theres no data persistence when using docker. Was this intentional?

Database help - changed Site *and* Home address, now can't continue setup.

Hello,

This looks amazing! Exactly what I was looking for.

I got everything up and running until the WordPress Configuration step. I entered in http://localhost:1337 for both the Site and Home urls which I don't think I was supposed to do. Whamp whomp.

Now I can't access the site to finish the other config steps. To fix, I trashed the project, created a new directory and tried to do all of the install steps again but it's still routing me to http://localhost:1337 and since I haven't run the build yet, there's nothing there.

I've tried restarting Docker and creating a new project from scratch but it seems like it is grabbing the old db no matter what I do.

Where is the Docker container and the WP db located so I can edit it manually? Or what else can I try?

Thanks!
