wp-api-react-poc

Proof of concept WordPress plugin to submit posts from the front end using the WordPress REST API and React

webpack

@wordpress/scripts

This script uses webpack behind the scenes. It’ll look for a webpack config in the top-level directory of your package and will use it if it finds one. If none is found, it’ll use the default config provided by @wordpress/scripts packages. Learn more in the Advanced Usage section.

Our webpack config, webpack.config.js makes React and ReactDOM available outside of the bundle to prevent import errors when using 3rd party React libs.

const defaults = require("@wordpress/scripts/config/webpack.config");

module.exports = {
  ...defaults,
  externals: {
    "react": "React",
    "react-dom": "ReactDOM"
  }
};
