Amberley Romo describes her experience rebuilding her blog using GatsbyJS and WordPress, highlighting the ease of using Gatsby, a static site generator for React, to integrate with WordPress data via the WordPress JSON REST API. She details the initial setup process, including the use of key configuration files like gatsby-config.js, gatsby-node.js, and gatsby-browser.js, and emphasizes the role of the gatsby-source-wordpress plugin in sourcing data. Romo elaborates on dynamically constructing site pages using Gatsby's createPages API, which leverages GraphQL queries to fetch and display WordPress data. She also explains the distinction between templates and page components in Gatsby, noting that React components in the src/pages directory automatically become site pages. The post acts as a guided walkthrough rather than a tutorial, aimed at familiarizing readers with Gatsby's setup and plugin ecosystem, while also mentioning the use of Netlify for deployment and the benefits of Gatsby's plugins for enhancing website functionality and performance.
