A WordPress theme boilerplate to quickly hook a React app in WordPress frontend.

This theme serves as a starting point for developers who want to build React applications that integrate with WordPress. It provides the minimum required WordPress theme files along with a React setup using @wordpress/scripts.

• React code lives in the src directory
• The entry point for the React application is src/index.js
• Edit src/App.js to start building your React application
• WordPress theme files are in the root directory (style.css, index.php, functions.php, etc.)

• npm start - Starts the development task
• npm run build - Creates a production build
• npm run format - Formats code with Prettier
• npm run lint:css - Lints CSS files
• npm run lint:js - Lints JavaScript files

• React integration with WordPress
• Automatic WordPress REST API integration
• Modern JavaScript tooling with @wordpress/scripts
• Basic theme structure following WordPress standards

The theme provides a data bridge between WordPress and React through the wpIntoReactData global JavaScript object which includes:

• REST API URL
• Security nonce for REST API authentication
• Site name
• Site URL

Use this data to make authenticated API requests to WordPress from your React app.
