Getting started with Frontity

Frontity is an open-source React framework designed for building headless WordPress sites and blogs, simplifying the connection between WordPress's REST API and React applications. It streamlines the setup process by providing an opinionated file structure and configuration system, enabling developers to easily manage components, themes, and state using packages akin to WordPress themes and plugins. Frontity supports CSS-in-JS styling methods and offers excellent TypeScript support, while also prioritizing SEO with features such as customizable header meta tags and robots.txt files. For deployment, Frontity creates an optimized app ready for a Node.js server, and it recommends using two separate domains for the WordPress dashboard and the Frontity frontend. The framework is compatible with WordPress plugins that support the REST API and offers solutions for those that do not. Frontity positions itself as a strong competitor to other frameworks like Gatsby and Gridsome by enhancing WordPress's capability to produce static websites.
