Astro Template Hierarchy with URQL

In this example we show how to implement the WP Template Hierarchy in Astro for use with a Headless WordPress backend using WPGraphQL. We use URQL for all routing and fetching page content.

Getting Started

Caution

Docker Desktop needs to be installed to run WordPress locally.

1. Run npm run example:setup to install dependencies and configure the local WP server.
2. Run npm run example:start to start the WP server and Astro development server.

Note

When you kill the long running process this will not shutdown the local WP instance, only Astro. You must run npm run example:stop to kill the local WP server.

Trouble Shooting

To reset the WP server and re-run setup you can run npm run example:prune and confirm “Yes” at any prompts.
