“Unlocking Hidden Potential: How WordPress Can Transform Your Data Entry into a Powerful Central API!”
If you’ve been paying attention to the JSON configuration of the custom post types shared above, you might’ve already noticed a key named show_in_graphql set to 1 (true/active). That is all we need in order to allow the custom post types we added to be queries using GraphQL.
Here is an example of a GraphQL query that can be used to list Employees which you can test in the built-in GraphiQL IDE bundled with the plugin:
query GetEmployeesEdges {
employees {
edges {
node {
id
name: title
image: featuredImage {
node {
sourceUrl
}
}
}
}
}
}
Building your own
If this sounds like something you want to build for your own business, you can work on it on your own computer using Studio by WordPress.com. You can even share your work with colleagues (for free!) using a demo site, and when you’re ready, any WordPress.com Business plan or higher will be able to host and manage your site.
