Do you want to improve your React JS skills and increase your value as a front-end developer?
– “Gatsby lets you build blazing fast sites with your data, whatever the source. Liberate your sites from legacy CMSs and fly into the future.”
Level-up your React skillset by learning Gatsby.js with a WordPress backend! Gatsby JS uses React JS and GraphQL to generate and build static pages from a given dataset. This course will look at setting up WordPress as a headless CMS while using GatsbyJS to generate a blazing-fast server-rendered React website from WordPress data using the NEW WordPress block editor (otherwise known as the Gutenberg block editor). We’ll building out custom posts, pages, menus, media, advanced custom fields, (and more!) using GraphQL to query that data.
That’s right, we can actually query Wordpress data using GraphQL!
This course will cover Gatsby v5 with WordPress (using the NEW Gutenberg block editor). We’ll create “The Gatsby Garage” in this course; a fictional classic car garage that buys and sells classic cars. While building this site we’ll be covering so many different features of both Gatsby and WordPress.
- We’ll style our site using Tailwind CSS.
- We’ll dive into WordPress development by creating our own custom Gutenberg blocks using ACF Pro.
- We’ll implement forms where we’ll store form submissions directly in WordPress using Contact Form 7 and Flamingo.
- We’ll implement dynamic searching of cars.
- We’ll deploy a live, production version of our site.
- Plus so much more!
This is the ONLY resource available online that covers using Gatsby & WordPress in this way.
It’s recommended you have rudimentary knowledge of React. We’ll be covering everything else from Gatsby.js, Wordpress, GraphQL, and Tailwind CSS!
